Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ke of TCM. Today I would like to introduce you to a traditional Chinese medicine, which is ox knee. Oxknee, as the name suggests, is the knee of a cow, because it is shaped like a cow's kneecap, so it is called a cow's kneecap. Hyssop is a perennial herb whose roots can be used as medicine, usually harvested in winter, then washed, dried or dried. The color of the hyssop is brown or yellow-brown, with longitudinal wrinkles and transverse protrusions, the texture is tough, not easy to break, and the smell is slightly bitter and sweet.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, oxknee can replenish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the muscles and bones, chase blood stasis through the meridians, and lead blood down. That is to say, ox knee can nourish the essence and blood of the liver and kidney, enhance the function of the liver and kidney, ** liver and kidney deficiency caused by soreness of the waist and knees, weakness of muscles and bones, dizziness, tinnitus, premature white hair and other symptoms. Oxknee can also invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, dredge meridians, and ** symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, and postpartum blood stasis and abdominal pain caused by blood stasis block. Ox knee can also guide the blood flow downward, balancing the floating fire in the upper part, **upper blood fever**, hemorrhage, headache, toothache, eye redness and pain and other symptoms.
The usage of ox knee is also very simple, and in general, it can be taken in decoction or made into pills. However, the dosage of hyssop should be adjusted according to the condition and constitution, generally speaking, 9-15 grams per dose is sufficient. If you take it in decoction, it is best to soak it in cold water for about half an hour, then boil it over high heat, then cook it over low heat for about 20-30 minutes, and finally pour out the liquid and drink it. If you want to take it as a pill, you can grind the beef knee into fine powder, then mix it with honey or water to make it into a pill or powder, and then take it.
I myself have had the experience of using ox knee ** waist and knee pain. It was after I gave birth to a child, due to excessive blood loss, resulting in insufficient liver and kidneys, soreness in my waist and knees, and it was a little difficult to walk. I went to see a Chinese medicine practitioner, and the doctor prescribed me a prescription with ox knee in it. I followed my doctor's instructions and took my medication on time every day, while paying attention to rest and diet. After a month, I feel that my body has improved significantly, the symptoms of my back and knee pain have been reduced a lot, and I am much easier to walk. I am very grateful to TCM and hyssop, which has allowed me to regain my health and vitality.
Of course, hyssop is not a panacea, and it also has some contraindications and precautions. For example, if you are pregnant, do not take ox knee because it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which may cause miscarriage. If you are a heavy menstrual period, do not take ox knee as it has the effect of directing blood flow downwards and may aggravate heavy menstrual flow. If you are a person with a tendency to bleed, do not take ox knee as it has the effect of invigorating blood and may aggravate the bleeding. If you have allergies, you should also be cautious about using ox knee, as it may cause allergic reactions.
In short, ox knee is a very good traditional Chinese medicine, it can replenish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the muscles and bones, chase away the stasis through the meridians, and lead the blood downward, which has a good effect on many diseases. However, we also have to choose whether to take hyssop according to our own constitution and condition, as well as the dosage and method of taking. If you have any doubts or discomfort, please consult your doctor promptly. I wish you all good health and a happy life!
