The efficacy and function of Curculigo and how to eat it

When it comes to the efficacy, functions and eating methods of Curculigo, most people don't know. Because Curculigo is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, and in reality fewer and fewer people know about traditional Chinese medicinal materials. This is mainly due to the downturn in the traditional Chinese medicine industry and the downturn in recent years. In fact, people often only see the superficial benefits and choose Western medicine instead of Chinese medicine. In fact, the efficacy of Chinese medicine is much better than that of Western medicine.

As a traditional Chinese medicine, Curculigo certainly has some advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, it can treat both the symptoms and the root causes of some diseases. This is also its greatest advantage compared with Western medicine. So, let’s introduce in detail the effects, functions and eating methods of Curculigo.

The effects and functions of Curculigo are to warm the kidney and strengthen yang, eliminate cold and dampness, treat impotence, cold semen, urinary incontinence, cold pain in the abdomen, soreness of the waist and knees, weak tendons and bones. The ways to eat Curculigo include Curculigo wine, Curculigo and Acanthopanax bark wine, pork kidney cooked with mulberry leaves and Curculigo, Curculigo stewed with lean meat, Curculigo stewed with chicken with Curculigo and Laevigata, Curculigo tea, Curculigo stewed with chicken, and Curculigo, Aconite and Cassia Eight Flavor Soup.

6. Curculigo is a special medicine for tonifying yang and warming the kidney. It can also eliminate cold arthritis. It is similar to Bazaitian and Xianlingpi, but more potent. It can only be used to restore yang for those with yin and cold nature, but it must not be used as a tonic. "Kaibao" also says that it is used to treat men's asthenia. So what the ancients called asthenia was originally a disease of deficiency and cold. "Jinkui" uses Jianzhong and other prescriptions, while "Qianjin" and "Waitai" both use warm medicines. It can be seen that its purpose is exactly the opposite of the modern asthenia caused by yin deficiency and fire movement. It is also said that it helps the muscles and bones, and enhances the spirit. Li Xun also said that it improves the ears and eyes, and fills the bone marrow. These are all because they help yang, so they are exaggerated. It is not to be taken as a guide. "Material Justice"
