Can Chuanbei be soaked in water and drunk?

For people who attach great importance to traditional Chinese medicine, I believe they are familiar with various Chinese medicines. Among them, Chuanbei is very familiar to everyone. Everyone knows Chuanbei probably because of Chuanbei loquat syrup. Chuanbei loquat syrup is taken by many people. So how to use Chuanbei? Can it be soaked in water and drunk? Many people want to know. Let us learn about it in detail below.

Chuanbei is a Chinese medicinal material that we are all very familiar with. We all come into contact with this Chinese medicinal material frequently. It has many useful effects on the human body. So how should Chuanbei be taken? Can Chuanbei be soaked in water and drunk? Many people want to know. Let’s take a look.

Chuanbei is the dried bulb of Chuanbei, dark purple Fritillaria, Gansu Fritillaria, and Sophora flavescens. The first three types are commonly called "songbei" and "qingbei" according to their different properties, and the latter is commonly called "lubei". Produced in Sichuan, Gansu and other places. The biggest morphological feature of Songbei is "holding the moon in the arms". Characteristics of the Moon in the Arms: This medicinal material is conical or nearly spherical, with two outer scales of different sizes. The large petal tightly embraces the small petal, and the unembraced part is crescent-shaped, commonly known as "The Moon in the Arms"; the top is closed. There are cylindrical heart buds with slightly pointed apex and 1 to 2 small scale leaves inside. The tip is obtuse or slightly pointed, the base is flat and slightly concave, with a gray-brown bulb disk in the center and occasional residual fibrous roots. It is hard and brittle, white in cross section and powdery. It has a faint smell and a slightly bitter taste.

Chuanbei is the dried bulb of the Liliaceae plants Chuanbei, Dark Purple Fritillaria, Gansu Fritillaria, and Sophora flavescens. The first three types are commonly called "songbei" and "qingbei" according to their different properties, and the latter is commonly called "lubei". Chuanbei is cool in nature, sweet and flat, and has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, reducing phlegm and relieving asthma, as well as clearing away heat and reducing phlegm. It mainly acts on lung deficiency, chronic cough, consumptive cough, dry cough with little sputum, sputum with blood; symptoms such as lung abscess, scrofula, carbuncle, and mastitis.

Chuanbei can be soaked in water and drunk, and it has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, reducing phlegm and relieving asthma, as well as clearing away heat and reducing phlegm. The general way to drink it is to smash the Fritillaria cirrhosa into powder and then drink it with a small amount of boiling water. If it is a child, he will not want to eat it because of the bitter taste. At this time, mix the Fritillaria cirrhosa powder with a small amount of boiling water to make a paste, and then add some white sugar, even infants and young children will be willing to take it. However, it is best to stew it with pears, as that will have the best cough-relieving effect. If you find it bitter, you can add some rock sugar to stew it together! But Sichuan Fritillaria is so hard that soaking it in water is a bit of a waste. Then you can mash the Fritillaria cirrhosa into powder and steam it together with the chopped pears for 10 minutes. This effect is also very good.

As for whether Chuanbei can be taken for a long time, generally speaking, long-term use of a drug may gradually lose its effect and lead to drug resistance, so it is recommended that you change it after taking it for a period of time. The side effects are not very clear at present, but Chuanbei contains calcium, which may cause stones, so pay attention to observation.

After the above introduction, I believe everyone has a better understanding of whether Beichuan can be soaked in water and drunk. Chuanbei can be soaked in water and drunk, so if you want to take Chuanbei, you can use this method to eat it. Many people can't distinguish between Chuanbei and Zhejiang Fritillary, which leads to the wrong use of medicine, so everyone should be able to distinguish these two kinds of Chinese medicinal materials.
