According to medical books, lotus root is born cold, cooked and warm. The living can cool blood to stop bleeding, clear away heat and quench thirst, and treat cough and hemoptysis, fever and thirst. Cooked people can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, replenish blood and stop diarrhea, and treat spleen and stomach weakness and listlessness. Even the humble lotus root festival has the function of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis because of its sweet, astringent and flat taste.
