Human beings are born to toss, hard work, study, etc., receiving so much information every day, so that our gods have been restless, and gradually people are easy to be short-tempered, dry mouth, and the soft yin blood in the body is getting less and less, at this time our body is in a state of more qi and less blood, and if we ignore it, it will develop into less qi and less blood, which is what we call insufficient qi and blood, too lazy to do anything, no energy, and very empty.
In the case of recuperating the body, longan is very suitable, and its main focus is to recuperate too much and thus hurt the heart and spleen, and the qi and blood are consumed. Longan is sweet, good for the spleen and solid qi, can preserve blood without consumption, so that the gods can be maintained.
However, modern people like to use longan to nourish qi and blood, and the ancients are the same, in the "Feng's Secret Record", it is recorded that longan is a way to eat, find a dried longan, remove the shell, put it in the mouth and chew it slowly, chew it into a particularly fine paste, and then swallow it with our liquid, that is, saliva, a total of 9 pieces of this way.
It is very suitable for us to eat when we are over-depleted and deficient in qi and blood, and the book says that if we eat for a month, the qi and blood will slowly come up.
Longan nourishes qi and blood, and will not produce dampness, gram yang qi, and will not hurt the spleen and stomach, but you can't eat more. And we should also pay attention to the choice of longan, which is recorded in the "Materia Medica": "The cinnamon is good, and the eastern Guangdong is too hot to be used in medicine." "That is, the longan in eastern Guangdong, the sexual taste is too hot, and it is easy to get angry when eating, generally we will not eat it as a nourishment for the body, and it is easy to be irritable and on fire after eating, it is best to choose the longan of Guangxi, and the sexual taste is relatively peaceful.
Share some ways to eat longan to nourish qi and blood, we can choose what suits us.
1. Longan boiled eggs: Take 5~10 longan, stew with eggs and serve. You can also use longan and red-skinned peanuts to stew, and you don't need to peel the skin when boiling red-skinned peanuts, and the peanut coat has a blood-tonifying effect.
2. Longan Yang Shen Porridge: 100 grams of rice, 20 grams of longan meat, 20 grams of red dates, 10 grams of brown sugar. Wash the rice and soak it in clean water; Longan meat, red dates wash and set aside. Put the pot on the fire, pour in water, add the rice and cook until the porridge is ready. Add longan meat and red dates and simmer until crispy, add brown sugar and mix well before serving.
Red dates are sweet and warm, nourishing the heart and blood and calming the nerves, and boiled together with longan, the effect of calming the nerves and replenishing blood is doubled.
3. Jade spirit paste: 150g of longan meat and 15g of American ginseng, the ratio of the two is 10 to 1. Note that the longan should be shelled, cored, whipped into a puree, and American ginseng beaten into powder. Put the well-stirred longan meat in a ceramic bowl, add some rock sugar to it, cover it with a layer of gauze, and put it in the pot. During the steaming process, a small handful of rice was specially added to the pot, because rice is a grain that nourishes the spleen and stomach, and the longan meat can absorb the grain gas of the rice after boiling.
The original method of jade spirit paste is written: "Steamed on the rice pot every day, steamed to 100 days." "But it's not realistic for now, and when you put it into account, it's about 40 hours of steaming. Steamed for enough time, the color of longan will become much darker, mixed with the aroma of rice, when steaming do not need to be in a hurry, you can pick when we are free to steam, the longer the steaming, the better the effect.
Longan meat will become bitter after steaming for a long time, so if you can eat sweet, you can add some rock sugar to it in advance, and when you eat it, you can brew it directly with boiling water and drink it.
The advantage of jade spirit ointment is that it has an obvious effect on making up for our lack of fatigue and blood, and the body is easy to absorb these nutrients, and the steamed longan is very peaceful, not hot, so you don't have to worry about getting hot after eating.
