Pay attention to the proportion of medication. According to textual research, this medicated diet of stewed chicken with Angelica and Astragalus is based on "Danggui Buxue Decoction" prepared by Li Dongyuan, a famous doctor in Yuan Dynasty. The dosage of the original prescription is Astragalus membranaceus (an ancient unit of measurement, equivalent to 3 1.25g) and Angelica sinensis (6.2g), with a ratio of five to one. According to this, through clinical observation, it is appropriate to stew a chicken (about 2 kg) with Astragalus membranaceus 120 g and Angelica sinensis 24 g.
Angelica sinensis, which is commonly used as medicine, tastes bitter, and has the effect of nourishing blood and removing blood stasis. Therefore, it is necessary to buy "sweet angelica" to nourish. Go to the drugstore to buy angelica, as long as you explain the purpose, the pharmacist will tell you. Moreover, Angelica sinensis can be divided into all Angelica sinensis, Guitou, Guishen and Guiwei, and their uses are also different. For example, Guipi Decoction has the main function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If you are nourishing, you should choose Guitou and Guishen, which have a strong nourishing effect.
