There must be "fruit" when the old words are mentioned again-the fruit part of Compendium of Materia Medica

When it comes to fruit, we are all strangers. We usually care about its taste, but some medical functions of fruit also deserve our attention. Hundreds of years ago, Li Shizhen tasted all kinds of fruits. In his eyes, the taste of fruit is roughly the same, but the effect after eating is different. Therefore, he wrote most fruits into Compendium of Materia Medica, and recorded the efficacy of those fruit elves in detail for future generations' textual research and reference. Today, I will introduce four kinds of fruits in Compendium of Materia Medica, which can be eaten with you.

The first fruit is plum, which is plum.

In my impression, this kind of fruit was very fond of eating when I was a child, but it rarely appeared when I grew up. In my memory, its taste is sour, occasionally a little sweet, but the sweetness in acid is the sweetness that really makes people feel happy.

Li, also known as Jia Qingzi, Li Shizhen said that Li had many children among trees, so the word was composed of crane. It tastes bitter, sour, slightly warm and nontoxic. Although non-toxic, you can't eat it often. Eating it often makes people feel hot. There will be phlegm after eating and drinking water. You can't eat it with sparrow meat. If eaten with honey, it will damage the five internal organs. Plums that don't sink in water are poisonous and can't be eaten. The best way is to eat in the sun, which is preserved fruit. Dried plums (it seems that there are few wintersweet, so it is called dried plums) can relieve fatigue between joints and regulate the spleen and stomach, which is suitable for patients with liver disease (friends who stay up late can try it).

Apricot is the second fruit in Compendium of Materia Medica, and it is also a fruit that I seldom eat since I was a child.

Apricot, also known as sweet plum. It tastes sour, hot, and less toxic. Eating too much will hurt your bones and muscles. Bian Que once said that eating too many apricots will lead to old diseases, blindness and beard loss. Children will be thirsty, have a fever, backache and can't eat anything. Pregnant women can't eat apricots.

So apricots don't seem to be such lovely fruits. However, according to Compendium of Materia Medica, dried apricots can relieve cough and are suitable for heart disease patients. Moreover, according to the medical surplus, flour and soybean flour will rot when they touch almonds. On one occasion, an officer ate too much pasta, which led to food accumulation. The doctor ground the pills and almonds into powder, made them into pills, and took them with boiling water, and they were cured several times.

The third fruit to introduce to you is pear, which is the kind of big pear and has a deep understanding of its efficacy.

Pears are also called "Happy Fruit", "Fruit Sect", "Jade Milk" and "Honey Father". Pears represent profits. Sweet, slightly sour, cold and nontoxic. Moistening lung, cooling, resolving phlegm, reducing fire, relieving sore poison and alcohol poison.

That is to say, during the exam in June 5438+February, my throat was slightly itchy and I occasionally wanted to cough (not catch a cold), and this state lasted for a long time. After eating pears for about a week, my symptoms recovered and my voice became comfortable. Therefore, I recommend that you eat pears in winter, sometimes it can not only quench your thirst but also relieve your cough.

Not only that, in Compendium of Materia Medica, pear flower also has the effect of removing acne. At the same time, plum blossom, pear blossom, cherry blossom, sunflower, Bai Lianhua, red lotus flower, Inula (a kind of medicinal material), Zanthoxylum bungeanum, peach blossom, papaya flower, clove, agarwood, Aristolochia and clock milk powder are ground into fine powder, which is used to wash your face every day and is as white as jade after 100 days. Sisters who can collect the above flowers can try.

Don't be discouraged if you can't collect all the above flowers. Finally, a kind of beauty fruit, cherry, is introduced.

Cherry, also known as Ying Tao, Han Tao and Tao Jing. Its particles are like cherry beads, so it is called cherry. Sweet, astringent and nontoxic. If you eat too much, you will have fever, bone injury and qi and blood failure. But it can regulate the spleen and stomach, beautify and stop diarrhea. Pour its leaves into the juice, and external application can cure snake bites. Its flowers can treat facial acne. Its branches can cure freckles. Boiling water from its roots can drive away roundworms.

Most cherry trees flourish and their fruits mature early. The ancients thought it was precious (and expensive now). Although cherries are good, they should not be eaten more. According to Zhang's "Scholars", a rich family in Wushui has two children and eats one or two liters of purple cherry (purple cherry: the sweetest cherry) every day. Half a month later, they all got lung disease and died one after another. Passion fruit grows to nourish people, not hurt them, but if people eat it unchecked, it will kill them. "If you are more cool, you will eventually get sick, and if you worry too much, you will suffer." This is also a motto.

Everything in nature has aura, and these watery fruits actually contain infinite potential for preventing and treating diseases. The most commendable thing is that most of them taste sweet and sour and are convenient to eat. When we have a loss of appetite, lack of vitamins or even great mental stress, we can eat some watery fruits or sweet preserved fruits to keep our body in balance again. It is reported that if everyone in China can eat fresh fruit every day through health education, about 500,000 cardiovascular deaths (including 200,000 premature deaths before the age of 70) can be avoided every year, and more non-fatal heart diseases and strokes can be avoided. Although the fruit is small, it has great potential. For our health and beauty, we should eat some fresh fruits in moderation every day. Speaking of which, I feel a little thirsty, so I won't say much. I went to eat fruit.
