It should be said that we generally don’t eat radish seeds as food, but for their efficacy. So what are the benefits of drinking radish seeds boiled in water?

1. Zhu Zhenheng: Radish seeds can cure phlegm and have the effect of pushing down walls.

2. "Compendium of Materia Medica": The benefit of radish seeds is that they are good at promoting qi. Raw materials can raise, cooked materials can lower. When raised, they can spit out wind and phlegm, dissipate wind and cold, and cause sores and rashes. When lowered, they can calm phlegm, wheezing, and cough, adjust the heaviness after diarrhea, and stop internal pain. They all have the effect of promoting qi.

3. "Bencao Jingshu": Radish seeds are more spicy than roots. Because of their strong spicy taste, their ascending and descending effects are also stronger than roots.

4. "New Edition of Materia Medica": Radish seeds can cure wheezing and swelling, but the ancients used ginseng and it worked like a miracle. Ginseng is originally a medicine for relieving asthma and bloating, and radish seeds are the best at relieving ginseng. Why do they work together? Ginseng can relieve asthma and bloating, but it is to treat asthma and bloating caused by deficiency. Deficiency syndrome will show signs of false reality. Ginseng is used abruptly, and it will directly relieve the asthma and bloating, but it cannot be treated immediately. Sometimes people suffer from worse asthma and bloating after taking it. Although the increased asthma and bloating are only temporary false signs and will naturally subside after a while, it is not a good treatment. Adding a little radish seeds to control the ginseng will not increase the asthma and bloating, and only reduce the asthma and bloating. This is what is called mutual restraint and mutual benefit. Some people may ask, radish seeds are specifically used to treat ginseng, but if radish seeds are used, ginseng will be useless. This person does not know radish seeds and does not know ginseng. When ginseng is combined with radish seeds, its effect becomes even more miraculous. Ginseng replenishes Qi, and if taken suddenly, it will make you feel uncomfortable, and it will not stop the symptoms of wheezing and bloating. With radish seeds, it can replenish the middle and benefit Qi, and then the Qi will be balanced and easier to receive. It is because radish seeds balance the excess Qi, not damage the deficiency. In fact, ginseng is used to balance the Qi, not to damage the Qi. 5. "Medical Records of Chinese and Western Medicine": Radish seeds, whether raw or fried, can relieve qi and depression, and eliminate bloating and fullness. It is a product that can transform qi, not a product that can destroy qi. In general, any medicine that regulates Qi will damage Qi if taken alone for a long time. However, fry radish seeds and grind them into powder. Take a few coins of it some time after each meal to help with digestion and regulate Qi without damaging Qi. This will help with food intake and Qi nourishment. If it is used to eliminate fullness and relieve depression, and is supplemented with ginseng, astragalus, and atractylodes, even if it is taken in large quantities and for long periods of time, it will not damage the Qi.
