With the development of society and the progress of medicine, doctors in past dynasties have created many valuable medicinal diet prescriptions, including medicinal porridge, medicinal liquor, medicinal cake, medicinal rice, medicinal tea, ointment, medicinal dishes and so on. They can not only nourish and strengthen the body, but also prevent and treat diseases, so they are widely welcomed by doctors and the general public. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, medicinal porridge was recorded in China medical books, and there are about 700 kinds of medicinal porridge so far. Among them, there are both single medicinal porridge and compound medicinal porridge; There are both plant medicinal porridge and health medicinal porridge. Its type is complex and its efficiency is different.
Then some people will ask, what are the advantages of medicated porridge compared with tonics on the market?
Many people eat a lot of tonics, such as ginseng wine, antler essence, astragalus cream, shiquan Dabu cream and so on. But the more they fabricate health, the worse it is, or the more they fabricate problems. What is the reason? This is because some people don't understand the theory of "deficiency is qi" and "deficiency is not tonic" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is characterized by syndrome differentiation and treatment. Tonics must be selected and applied according to different situations of each person. People with qi deficiency can use ginseng to replenish their vitality. But some people are not qi-deficient, and when they see others eating ginseng, they will follow suit. In this way, the upper abdomen will inevitably be swollen and uncomfortable, and the nose will also bleed. However, medicinal porridge therapy rarely has such disadvantages, which can not only preserve health, but also cure diseases, and is suitable for all ages. The ancients called porridge "the first thing in the world to help others." Porridge is nutritious, easy to digest and absorb, and everyone likes to use it.
