How to make Tuhuoling Huangqi Decoction?

In our lives, many Chinese medicines actually appear on our dining tables, but people don’t really understand their medicinal properties and just enjoy their delicious taste. For example, Chinese yam is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, which can often be seen in summer and autumn.

1. To remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, Chinese yam needs to be combined with astragalus

Oily face, heaviness in the body, drowsiness, lack of ability to do things, frequent phlegm and the feeling of being unable to cough it out, obesity, edema, etc., these are all symptoms of dampness in the body, and we need to get rid of it.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and can transport and transform water and moisture in the body. Therefore, the first method to remove moisture is to strengthen the spleen. Therefore, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness are like a pair of twin brothers, and it is better to take a two-pronged approach at the same time.

The combination of "Astragalus, Poria and Pork Bone Soup" introduced today follows this principle. For example, Astragalus is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of tonifying Qi and strengthening the exterior, promoting diuresis and promoting tissue regeneration. It can be used for symptoms such as qi deficiency, fatigue, spontaneous sweating, and edema; while Smilax glabra can detoxify and remove dampness, benefit the joints, and can assist in regulating muscle spasms, athlete's foot, scabies, etc.

Stewing the two together can strengthen the spleen, replenish qi and eliminate dampness.

2. In summer, the spleen is in good condition.

There is an old saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that "the spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution". If the spleen is not in good condition, the appetite will be poor, and the diet will not be good, and the medicine will not be absorbed. How can we talk about nourishing the heart and nourishing the kidneys? Therefore, we must constantly protect the spleen and stomach and provide it with nutrients.

Some young women blindly pursue slim and skinny beauty. They succeed in losing weight, but they hurt their spleen and stomach, leading to kidney deficiency and even difficulty getting pregnant. These are typical examples of not protecting the spleen and stomach.

In addition to the combination recommended today, you can also use five-fingered peach, which has the effect of replenishing qi and benefiting the spleen, and coix seed or lentil, which can remove dampness, to make stewed soup.
