The weather is hot and humid, spleen and stomach deficiency. Try this food.
Long summer has passed, Hainan’s weather is hot and humid, and the stomach is vulnerable to weakness. If you can get rid of the poison of hot and humid in your body first, you will get less sick in summer. Lin Jie, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Haikou People’s Hospital, said that proper consumption of chicken excrement and rattan at this time can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and has the effects of promoting digestion and strengthening the stomach, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
Paederia scandens, also known as stinky vine, Paederia scandens and Paederia parviflora, is the whole grass and root of Paederia scandens, a Rubiaceae plant. Regarding the origin of this indecent name, according to "Compendium Addendum", "Rubbing its leaves smells it, and it stinks. I don’t know what its proper name is. People named it stinky rattan because of its odor." After the leaves of Paederia henryi are crushed, they will smell like chicken excrement, hence the name. Perhaps this name is a bit indecent, and some people call it Jiyateng.
Although the name of Gynostemma henryi is indecent, the leaves smell like chicken excrement, but it is a famous local flavor snack in Hainan. Every household in Qionghai eats a bowl of Gynostemma henryi soup on the first day of July every year. People pick the wringing juice from the leaves of Paederia henryi and rice flour to make strip-shaped boiled sugar water, which is a folk tonic with local characteristics, also known as Paederia henryi.
Paederia scandens can not only be used to make food, but also be a good Chinese medicine. According to Lin Jie, the chicken dung vine smells smelly, but it tastes sweet. It is good at resolving gastrointestinal stagnation and guiding turbid qi. Clinically, it is often used to treat intestinal accumulation, intestinal obstruction, and infantile indigestion and spleen accumulation. It can also strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and replenish qi and deficiency. Commonly used in children with emaciation, spleen weakness and qi deficiency, food stagnation and malnutrition, and adults with qi deficiency and edema, tinnitus, diarrhea, enuresis, and women with weak leucorrhea. Its taste is bitter and slightly cold, and it enters the spleen and stomach, liver and lung meridians. In addition, it can also treat eczema, neurodermatitis and skin itching; Can be used for treating toothache, trauma, cellulitis, dermatosis, infantile rectocele, appendicitis, icteric hepatitis, etc.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Qu Dajun wrote in "Guangdong Xinyu Caoyu Rattan": "All the vines are cured, spreading among the wild trees on the wall, and the leaves are like mud vines. Those who suffer from heatstroke eat powder with roots and leaves, and those who are weak are mixed with pigs’ stomachs." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that "people suffering from heatstroke eat it with roots and leaves as powder. Deficiency is mixed with pig stomach decoction. To cure scrofula, fry wine with roots, and those who have not broken will disappear, and those who have collapsed will gather. " Wang Lianshi’s Herb Collection Book records: "Treating wind and pain, intestinal carbuncle, traumatic injury, injecting wind, fire, insect poison and dispersing depressed qi. Wash the sputum and add perilla decoction. "
