The practice of Hawthorn Chenpi tea: raw materials: Hawthorn 10 tablets, 6 pieces of dried tangerine peel, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. First, put tangerine peel and hawthorn into a boiling pot and add water. Then bring the fire to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. 10 minutes later, add crystal sugar and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the fire, cover it, let it stand and let it cool. Dried tangerine peel and hawthorn can strengthen the stomach, eliminate dampness and help digestion. But people with hyperacidity had better not eat hawthorn.
The combination of Coicis Semen, Fructus Crataegi and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae has the effects of invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness, regulating stomach, resolving food stagnation and promoting qi circulation. There is a compatibility idea similar to Baohe Pill: Xiaoshi Daozhi Medicine+Erchen Decoction. There are hawthorn, medicated leaven and radish seeds in Baohe pills, among which hawthorn is good at eliminating greasy meat, medicated leaven is good at eliminating stale wine and food, and radish seeds are good at eliminating turbid pasta. Erchen decoction is the basic prescription to treat all phlegm-dampness, in which Pinellia ternata is the monarch to dispel dampness and eliminate phlegm, regulate stomach and reduce adverse reactions, and Chenpi is the minister to regulate qi and strengthen spleen, both of which can eliminate phlegm and promote qi, which embodies the principle of regulating qi first in treating phlegm; Poria cocos strengthens the spleen, promotes diuresis and permeates dampness, and is matched with dried tangerine peel, which solves the problem that the spleen is the source of phlegm.
This recipe can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, harmonize the stomach and promote digestion, and eliminate the swelling, which can treat phlegm-dampness and food retention. It can be used for cough with excessive phlegm, white and easy cough, nausea and vomiting, fullness of chest and diaphragm, heavy lethargy of limbs, dizziness and palpitation, and white and slippery or greasy tongue coating caused by phlegm-dampness. It can also be used for indigestion, abdominal distension and eating sour food instead of eating it. In this prescription, the medicine for digestion is hawthorn, which is good at digestion and greasy, which conforms to the lifestyle of most people at present.
In the compatibility of Erchen decoction, coix seed is used instead of poria cocos. Coix lachryma-jobi seed is light in nature, and can permeate dampness, but it tastes sweet and strengthens the spleen, and its efficacy is similar to that of Poria cocos. This prescription can only be called "Chen Yi Tang", because without Pinellia ternata, the power of eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm is weaker, but it is precisely because there is no Pinellia ternata that it is suitable for self-conditioning in daily life, because Pinellia ternata is dry and easy to hurt yin after long-term administration. At the same time, Job's tears are grains, which can also be used to cook porridge. When cooking porridge, you can slightly increase Job's tears according to your own food.
