Efficacy and function of Prunus mume;
Eyebrow beans benefit the elderly. The granules of Prunus mume are small and shaped like pork loin, which is believed by the people to tonify the kidney. Compendium of Materia Medica says that it is a top-grade bean for tonifying kidney and stomach. ((Qianjin Yifang) said: "The valley of kidney is suitable for kidney disease." The so-called tonifying kidney in traditional Chinese medicine is a broad term, mostly aimed at the decline of natural function. Old people are weak in physical strength, lack of spirit, and weak in waist. They can use eyebrow beans to cook pig's waist, or use eyebrow beans and peanuts to cook pig's trotters to relax muscles and promote blood circulation and strengthen their feet, which is very beneficial to the elderly.
Eyebrow beans benefit the stomach. "Compendium of Materia Medica" not only says "Mei Dou Bu". Besides the kidney, it is also said that it can strengthen the stomach. In fact, plum beans have no function of strengthening the stomach, but because many people with stomach diseases eat beans, they are not very suitable. Only plum beans are soft and easy to digest. Old people and children have weak stomachs, so they might as well use eyebrow beans to make soup with pork, or make eyebrow bean cakes, which are delicious as a snack.
