As the name implies, it has five flavors: sour, sweet, pungent, bitter and salty.
What are the effects of Schisandra chinensis?
Schisandra chinensis can supplement the five internal organs.
Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, once said: "Schisandra can replenish the qi of the five internal organs."
Li Shizhen also recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "Schisandra chinensis is salty, nourishing the liver and kidney, hard, nourishing the lungs, and benefiting the spleen and stomach." # Health Star Project #
Bufei: chronic cough and asthma
People who cough for a long time can drink some Schisandra water.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: a long illness will lead to deficiency.
Cough can't be cured over and over again, which is a typical lung deficiency. Lung qi keeps diverging and can't be collected.
At this time, Schisandra chinensis should appear.
We say that Schisandra chinensis has five flavors, but its sour taste is unique.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acidity can converge energy and has a convergent effect.
Therefore, Neijing said, "The lung wants to collect, and it is urgent to eat acid to collect it."
Schisandra chinensis protects the essence of the human body in the lungs from diverging outward by converging lung qi.
The essence in the body is preserved, but the lung deficiency is gone.
Need to knock on the blackboard to emphasize:
We talked for so long, and all we talked about was lung deficiency and chronic cough!
People with initial cough must not use it!
Why?
There is a simple reason.
Imagine that at the beginning of a cough,
Mainly because foreign pathogens invaded the human body for the first time and invaded our lungs.
At this time, the lungs will inevitably resist, that is, the pathogenic factors will be excreted through coughing.
Schisandra chinensis has astringent effect and can be taken at this time.
Completely put evil spirits in the body.
Chinese medicine says: behind closed doors.
Therefore, although they are all coughs, the treatment methods are different because of the different course of disease.
Chronic cough is a kind of deficiency, which needs to be repaired, and the damaged organs should be repaired. The initial cough is a real disease, so we should attack it and drive away evil spirits.
Cardiotonic: palpitation, insomnia and hyperhidrosis.
Chinese medicine believes that the heart hides the spirit and the heart governs the spirit.
Sometimes we may feel uneasy, and our thoughts always jump out.
This is what Chinese medicine calls heart deficiency.
People with insufficient heart qi will cause palpitations and their hearts will be pounding because of excessive heart qi consumption.
Most people who have had this experience know that their hearts are pounding (such as hyperthyroidism patients) and they can't sleep at night, even if you are really tired.
Schisandra chinensis has the effect of calming the heart and calming the nerves. After soaking Schisandra chinensis in water for a period of time, you will find that the palpitations gradually disappear and the sleep quality is improved.
Chinese medicine also believes that sweat is the body fluid of the heart.
People with insufficient heart-qi, of course, have difficulty in grasping body fluids, so they often show sweating and sweating a lot.
Here, I want to talk to you about science:
Chinese medicine divides sweating into two types.
One is spontaneous sweating, and the other is night sweats.
Sweating during the day is called spontaneous sweating, and sweating at night is called night sweat.
Spontaneous sweating belongs to deficiency of heart qi, and night sweats belong to deficiency of heart yin.
Schisandra chinensis can not only invigorate qi, but also promote fluid production, so whether it is spontaneous sweating or night sweats, it can be soaked in water.
Spleen strengthening: spleen deficiency and chronic diarrhea
Generally speaking, it is diarrhea, loose stool, with cold limbs and weak waist and legs.
Such people can drink Schisandra water directly.
What's more, in the middle of the night, my stomach began to feel uncomfortable, cold and painful, and I was forced to wake up. This kind of diarrhea is called five exterior diarrhea, not only because of spleen deficiency, but also because of kidney yang deficiency.
There is a classic prescription for diarrhea in Wugeng: Shen Si Pill (Fructus Schisandrae, Fructus Psoraleae, Nutmeg and Evodia rutaecarpa).
Tonifying kidney: stopping nocturnal emission
Nocturnal emission and nocturnal emission are the most typical symptoms of kidney-qi deficiency.
In the same way, Schisandra chinensis is sour and astringent, and it is specially used to treat people with kidney deficiency and unstable essence.
Tonifying liver: reducing transaminase
The lignin components and crude polysaccharides of Schisandra chinensis can reduce serum transaminase to varying degrees and have anti-liver injury effects.
It is worth mentioning that Schisandra chinensis is good for making tea or decocting in water. Remember to mash it.
Finally, one last reminder:
People with cough, measles and real fever should not use it!
Again, it's easy to build a car behind closed doors.
So what is real heat?
Yellow and greasy tongue coating, short and red urine and dry stool.
