In life, we often hear people say that "daylily is cold". Have you ever seen daylily? Today, the farmer saw the true face of day lily on the mountain.

This is an ordinary day lily, but in ancient times it was called "worry-free girl". The name comes from a love story in The Book of Songs. It is said that in ancient times, a woman planted day lilies in her garden because of her husband's expedition to solve her worries. Since then, the world has called her a "worry-free girl".

Day lily is also called worry-free girl, day lily, lemon day lily. It is a perennial herb of Liliaceae.

Day lily has a cluster of roots, fleshy, and the root tip expands into a spindle shape. The leaves are basal, long and narrow, with overlapping lower ends and gradually spreading upward. When I was a child, I often used its leaves as "musical instruments".

Daylily in bud!

The flowers of day lily have the effects of invigorating stomach, promoting lactation and enriching blood. In the folk, one of the most widely known functions of day lily is that it can pass milk, which is very useful when milk is insufficient.

At the same time, day lily also has good brain-strengthening and anti-aging effects, so it is also called "brain-strengthening dish". This is because day lily is also rich in lecithin, which plays an important role in enhancing and improving brain function, especially for symptoms such as inattention, memory loss and cerebral artery occlusion.

Daylily is actually a treasure all over the body, not just a flower to eat. Its roots have diuretic and repercussive effects, and can be used to treat edema and dysuria. Leaves have the effect of calming the nerves, and can be used to treat neurasthenia, restlessness, physical weakness and edema.

However, it should be noted that the newly picked day lily contains colchicine, which is oxidized into colchicine after entering the human body. This is a very toxic substance, which can strongly stimulate the stomach and respiratory system, so the day lily should be dried before eating.
