Goose meat, besides delicious, Li Shizhen once praised its medicinal efficacy. In addition, it is worth mentioning that goose blood, as a food, is not widely eaten, but its magical curative effect has been circulated among the people. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, we can know the goose on the dining table.
Goose, a duck, is also called domestic goose. There are two kinds of geese: white goose and pale goose. There are many ways to eat goose meat, which can be braised in soy sauce, hung and roasted, and fried. It is a delicious food at the banquet and is loved by people. Different parts of geese have different therapeutic effects.
● Goose
Goose meat is suitable for people with weak body, malnutrition and deficiency of spleen and stomach, but goose meat belongs to hair, so some patients need to eat less.
Goose meat, sweet and flat in nature, belongs to spleen, lung and liver meridians. Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Goose benefits the five internal organs, relieves the heat of the five internal organs, and cooks juice to quench thirst." "Living with Interest Diet Spectrum" records: "Goose can tonify deficiency and benefit qi, warm the stomach and produce fluid. Can solve lead poisoning. " Goose meat is suitable for people with weakness, malnutrition and spleen and stomach qi deficiency; It is also suitable for people suffering from body fluid deficiency, thirst and body fluid deficiency, including Sjogren's syndrome and diabetes.
Goose meat is delicious, but ancient doctors found from clinical experience that goose belongs to hair food. Therefore, those who suffer from intractable "persistent diseases" and "chronic diseases", including lymphoid tuberculosis, cancer, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, chronic eczema, and carbuncle and furuncle (including hemorrhoids), should not eat more; Goose meat is moist and fat, which helps heat and dampness. Those who are usually stressed by phlegm and dampness, thick and greasy tongue coating, chest tightness, nausea and indigestion should not eat more. People suffering from cholecystitis, gallstones, obesity, fatty liver, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis should not eat more, so as not to aggravate the condition.
● Goose blood
Ancient books recorded that goose blood can cure esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, and modern medicine also found the anti-cancer effect of goose blood. But Chinese medicine advises other cancers to eat carefully.
Goose blood has a high medicinal value in medicine, which was valued by ancient doctors in China, who thought it could enrich blood, promote blood circulation and detoxify. Zhang Lu, a great medical scientist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, said in his book "Ben Jing Feng Yuan": "Goose blood can pour out blood stasis in the stomach, open the blood diaphragm and vomit, so that food can not be eaten, and the root of the disease can be spit out by drinking it in a hot way." The treatable diseases recorded in the above goose blood are esophageal cancer and gastric cancer.
Modern pharmacological studies have proved that goose blood contains a high concentration of immunoglobulin, which can inhibit Ehrlich ascites cancer by more than 40%, enhance the immune function of the body, increase white blood cells and promote the phagocytosis of lymphocytes. Goose blood also contains an anti-cancer factor, which can enhance human humoral immunity and produce antibodies. Because the immune function is closely related to the incidence of tumor, the immune function of most patients with malignant tumor is obviously decreased, and the active substances such as immunoglobulin and anticancer factor contained in goose blood can strengthen the immune system of human body through the intermediary of host and achieve the purpose of treating cancer.
Although the above modern pharmacological research has proved that goose blood has the effect of treating cancer, from the practical clinical point of view, the clearly treatable diseases recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books are esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, while most doctors think that goose blood is hair, and it is not recommended to eat. Here, the author conservatively suggests that except for esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, it is not recommended to eat any part of the goose for other cancers, so as not to aggravate the condition.
The general treatment of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer is to drink half a cup of white goose blood1~ 2 times a day. For patients who dare not drink fresh goose blood, it is also effective to cook goose blood and eat it. In addition, there is another method: take all the white goose feathers, burn them into ashes, grind them fine, mix them with rice soup and take them with goose stew. Take a goose for 3 ~ 7 days.
● Goose fat
Goose fat smells sweet, slightly cold and non-toxic. It can benefit qi, make people fit, resist old age, stay healthy and make people fat and white.
Goose fat smells sweet, slightly cold and non-toxic. It can benefit qi, make people fit, resist old age, stay healthy and make people fat and white. It can be used for treating wind contracture, wind-heat vexation, weakness of waist and feet, deafness, carbuncle, swollen ear and carbuncle, chest swelling due to heat, and vomiting.
Low goose eggs
Goose eggs can tonify the middle energizer and replenish qi, and are mainly used to treat physical weakness and emaciation after delivery.
Goose eggs are coarse in texture and have a heavy grassy smell, so they are not as delicious as eggs as cooking materials. It is warm in nature, non-toxic and sweet in taste, and belongs to spleen and kidney meridians. It can tonify the middle energizer and replenish qi, and is mainly used for treating physical weakness and emaciation after delivery.
Chicken, duck and goose are the three kinds of poultry that people eat most often, which can replenish qi and deficiency, while goose tastes stronger than chicken and duck. However, the nature and taste of the three are different. Chicken is warm, duck is cold, and goose is between chicken and duck, and it is peaceful, so it is a flat product.
The biggest disadvantage of goose meat is that it smells thick, causing wind and sores (Compendium of Materia Medica), especially because it can "cause chronic diseases" (in the Tang Dynasty, the food doctor Meng Yan said), and it is a famous hair food. No wonder Wang Mengying, a famous health care practitioner in the Qing Dynasty, sighed: "Goose, if it has a slight illness, can it be tried?" "Therefore, all patients should not be careless!"
Note: Goose can be divided into white goose and pale goose. In contrast, white goose is the best, and the fat one is the best, and You Mei is roasted. Goose gizzards and goose feet are peaceful in nature, and they are suitable for the weak body after illness.
