1, function indication
1, Dangshen can strengthen the spleen and stomach; This can be said to be one of the most widely known effects and functions of Codonopsis pilosula. If a person is always sleepy, short of breath, and his appetite is always not getting better, it is because the qi of the spleen and stomach is insufficient. If this kind of people use codonopsis pilosula, they can enhance the function of spleen and stomach and replenish qi. Of course, Codonopsis pilosula can also be eaten with other Chinese herbal medicines, such as lotus seed meat, yam and licorice, which can better play the role of Codonopsis pilosula.
2. Codonopsis pilosula can replenish qi and blood; Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis often talks about qi and blood. When I visited Chinese medicine before Bian Xiao, the old Chinese doctor also said that Bian Xiao was deficient in both qi and blood, so there would be problems such as shortness of breath, weakness, bloodless face and weak pulse. At this time, if you eat codonopsis pilosula for a long time, it will have a good effect. If you eat it together with other Chinese herbal medicines, the effect of enriching blood will be very good.
3. Codonopsis pilosula can treat cough and asthma caused by qi deficiency; If codonopsis pilosula is taken together with Schisandra chinensis, Fritillaria, dried ginger and licorice, it is a very good treatment for people who often cough because of qi deficiency, and symptoms such as catching a cold and being unable to speak can be improved. The efficacy and function of codonopsis pilosula is actually very effective, but many people are not familiar with it.
2, medication methods
Codonopsis pilosula, which grows in the mountainous area with an altitude of1560m to 3100m in the north, is a traditional medicine for invigorating qi in China and has been found in many prescriptions. Its efficacy is similar to that of ginseng, which can replenish qi and nourish blood, strengthen spleen and replenish lung, but its efficacy is relatively weak. Ginseng can be used instead of ginseng in the treatment of general deficiency, but ginseng should still be used when the symptoms are serious. When patients have symptoms such as loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, and lack of qi and liquid, Codonopsis pilosula can play a role in invigorating qi and promoting fluid production.
When treating diseases, Codonopsis pilosula is often combined with other drugs. For anorexia, loose stool, fatigue, burnout and other symptoms caused by deficiency of middle qi, Poria and Atractylodes macrocephala, which can eliminate dampness, invigorate qi and strengthen spleen, can be combined. It can be used to treat symptoms such as low tone, cough and shortness of breath caused by abandoning deficiency, and can be used together with Gecko and Astragalus. For pregnant women who suffer from miscarriage, slippery fetus or uneasy fetal movement due to spleen deficiency, it can be combined with Taxilli and Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and prevent miscarriage.
In addition to decocting soup, many people also treat periodontal disease with deficiency of both qi and blood by boiling Dangshen and Lycium barbarum chicken soup. This soup needs 30 grams of codonopsis pilosula, 30 grams of medlar, 20 grams of round meat, 0/50 grams of chicken/kloc, and a small amount of salt and wine to cook in a casserole. Drinking Codonopsis pilosula and Lycium barbarum chicken soup once or twice a day can relieve the symptoms of root dew, gingival atrophy and loose teeth.
If you don't have time to make soup, you can also make dangshen tea. Take honey-roasted Codonopsis pilosula 10 g and black tea 1 g, mix and brew with boiling water 10 min, and drink it three times a day. This can tonify qi and blood, strengthen stomach and eliminate phlegm, and can also treat malnutrition anemia.
3. Side effects
As we all know, this drug has three poisons, and the side effects of Codonopsis pilosula should not be underestimated. This medicine should not be taken for a long time, because long-term use may lead to excessive qi, affect and damage the original healthy qi in the human body, and produce some symptoms such as dryness and evil. In addition, spicy and greasy food should be prohibited during medication.
