Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your trust and support. Regarding the role of dendrobium porridge in nourishing the stomach, let me give you a detailed answer.
Dendrobium, sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature, returns to the stomach and kidney meridians, and has the effect of nourishing the stomach and nourishing yin and clearing heat. Dendrobium is rich in polysaccharides, alkaloids and other active ingredients, which can effectively regulate the function of the gastrointestinal tract, promote the secretion of gastric juice, and enhance the defense ability of the gastric mucosa, so as to achieve the effect of nourishing the stomach. At the same time, dendrobium can also remove excess heat from the body, and relieve symptoms such as upset, thirst, and weakness caused by the deficiency of fluid.
Regarding the specific preparation method of Dendrobium porridge, you can follow the steps below:
1.Prepare 10 grams of dendrobium, 100 grams of japonica rice, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
2.Wash the dendrobium, put it in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes.
3.Remove the slag and extract the juice, wash the japonica rice and add it to the juice, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook until the porridge is thick.
4.Add the rock sugar and continue to cook until the rock sugar is dissolved.
In ancient Chinese medicine, Dendrobium is widely used. For example, the "Dendrobium Powder" in "Jin Kui Yaolu" uses Dendrobium as the main ingredient for symptoms such as stomach deficiency, stomach pain, and stomach distension. In addition, Dendrobium is often used in combination with other medicinal materials, such as wheat winter, jade bamboo, etc., which can enhance the effect of nourishing yin and clearing heat, nourishing the stomach and nourishing the stomach.
As a precious Chinese medicinal material, the value of Dendrobium has been widely recognized in ancient times. For example, "Shennong's Materia Medica" lists it as the top grade, and believes that Dendrobium has the effect of prolonging life. Modern research has also confirmed the medicinal value of Dendrobium, which has a wide range of application prospects in health care, health preservation, and medicinal use.
It is important to note that while Dendrobium has many benefits, it is not suitable for all people. If the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, and the stool is loose, it should be used with caution. In addition, dendrobium should not be eaten with green tea, so as not to reduce the efficacy of the medicine. When using dendrobium, it is best to consult a professional doctor and choose reasonably according to your actual situation.
I hope my answer will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. I wish you good health and a happy life!
