Hey, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard of Li Wenbing, a Qing Dynasty medical scientist? His recipe is a magical treasure! The main ingredients in it are lotus whiskers and wheat winter, and there is no such medicine as lead! It's also strange, why do some people want to add winter and stone lotus meat?
Haha, don't worry, let me give you a taste of this medical scientist and his soothing soup. It is said that Mr. Li Wenbing is a great person, his medical attainments are profound, especially good at neurasthenia, insomnia and other symptoms. And his soothing soup comes from the book "Immortal Collection" written by him
This soothing soup makes people feel at ease when they hear the name, and the lotus whiskers and wheat dong in it are even better. Lotus whiskers can clear the heart and calm the nerves, and are especially effective for upset insomnia; As for Mai Dong, it can nourish yin and nourish the lungs, moisten the lungs and clear the heart, and also has a good effect on palpitations and insomnia. When these two herbs are paired together, it is simply a partner for insomnia!
However, some people have heard that lead has the effect of calming the nerves, and mistakenly think that the tranquilizing soup is also made of lead, but this is what you know about our Chinese history, the Qing Dynasty people have a lot of experience in medicine, Li Wenbing and other medical scientists found the harm of lead to the human body, and then eliminated the lead, so the Qing Dynasty version of the tranquilizer soup does not contain lead that is harmful to the human body.
So, why do some people want to add stone lotus meat as well? Well, I think this question may have been added by later generations in order to increase the effect of the recipe or adjust the medicinal properties. After all, the compatibility of TCM prescriptions needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation, and different conditions and constitutions may require different prescriptions.
In short, Mr. Li Wenbing's soothing soup is really a magic recipe. It uses lotus whisker and wheat dong as the main ingredients, and completely abandons harmful lead medicine, which makes people feel at ease and safe to drink. If you also suffer from insomnia, you might as well try this recipe, maybe you can get back to sweet sleep!
