Who can't eat Tianma?

Gastrodia elata is a relatively precious Chinese medicinal material because its dried tubers can be used as medicine. The hemp harvested after the winter solstice is called winter hemp, which is generally plump and of good quality. The hemp harvested before the Lesser Heat is called Spring Hemp, which has loose bark and is slightly weaker in texture. Gastrodia elata is widely cultivated in China and is widely distributed.

Gastrodia elata contains vanillin, vanillic aldehyde, vitamin D, gastrodin and other ingredients, which can soothe the liver and calm wind, dispel wind, relax muscles and activate collaterals. It has obvious effects on symptoms such as headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs, and epileptic convulsions. It can also effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases, reduce blood pressure, relieve heartbeat, and also play a protective effect on myocardial ischemia. It is also effective in relieving pain, clearing eyes and increasing intelligence. There are many ways to eat Gastrodia elata. It is a masterpiece in traditional diet therapy. It has miraculous effects when used in soup or taken directly.

Although Gastrodia elata is good, not everyone can take it. So what kind of people cannot eat Gastrodia elata? Generally, children and pregnant women are not allowed to take Gastrodia elata. Also, breastfeeding women and the elderly with weak qi and blood should use it with caution. Also, people with heat arthritis, joint pain, fever, dry mouth, tongue and lips should not use this product. Some patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes should also take appropriate amounts as directed by their doctor. Although Gastrodia elata is good, you don't need to take it too much. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, itchy skin, etc., you need to pay attention. Especially people with weak constitution should use this thing as little as possible.

We should also note that when taking Gastrodia elata, it is not necessary to boil it for a long time, because boiling it for too long will reduce the sedative and analgesic medicinal effect of Gastrodia elata. It is best to moisten it with cold water first, then cut it into slices and dry it in the sun or grind it into powder after it becomes soft, and then change it into a decocted decoction for consumption. However, be careful not to use Gastrodia elata and Herba Lycopodii together. Frying these two ingredients together can easily cause food poisoning. I believe that if everyone can use Gastrodia elata properly and effectively and make full use of its efficacy, it will be able to cure diseases and benefit health.
