However, ebony is more than just a snack. It is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine and has many functions. If you eat it regularly, it will also do a lot of good to the human body. So, what are the benefits of eating ebony regularly? Next, I will talk to you about the knowledge of ebony.
1. What are the medical effects of ebony? In fact, ebony is the processed immature fruit of Prunus mume in Rosaceae. Because it turns black after processing, it looks black, so it is called ebony.
According to the China Pharmacopoeia:
Wumei Meridian: Liver, Spleen, Lung and Large Intestine Meridian. Taste: sour, astringent and flat. Indications: astringing lung, astringing intestine, promoting fluid production and calming phlegm. It can be used for chronic cough due to lung deficiency, chronic dysentery and intestinal slippery, deficiency heat and thirst quenching, syncope, vomiting and abdominal pain, and biliary ascariasis.
Therefore, from the above records, we can know that ebony mainly has the following functions:
1, astringing lung: Because ebony tastes sour, the acid can converge and enter the lung meridian. Because it has the function of astringing lung qi, it can astringe lung and relieve cough, because it can play a good role in relieving chronic cough due to lung deficiency.
2, astringent intestines: Because ebony tastes sour and astringent, acid can converge, astringent intestines, and can also enter the large intestine, so it can play the role of astringent diarrhea and can play a good role in relieving chronic diarrhea.
3, Jinsheng: Because dark plum tastes sour, it can promote the secretion of body fluid, so it can play the role of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, especially for hot thirst and summer heat and polydipsia. This is why in the hot summer, drinking a cup of sour plum soup can play the role of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
4. Anzhen: Mume can also play the role of expelling worms, especially for patients with ascariasis before. Eating dark plum can effectively relieve the discomfort symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal pain caused by ascariasis. This is because the taste of ebony is sour, and it will fall off when it is sour, so it can balance the stomach. In addition, Mume can also excite and stimulate ascaris to retreat, so that ascaris can retreat or retreat, and it is also suitable for relieving biliary ascariasis.
In addition to these functions, ebony can actually be used externally to treat crossbow meat. For example, in Liu's Ghost Legacy, it is pointed out that burning ebony into ashes and then applying it to the pestle can cure all sores and meat. Sheng Hui Fang also pointed out that dark plum meat can be cured by burning ash and grinding it with raw oil.
Second, what are the benefits of eating ebony? In fact, by explaining the related medical functions of ebony, we already know that eating ebony has the following benefits for us:
First of all, it can astringe the lungs and relieve cough. If you have uncomfortable symptoms of lung deficiency and chronic cough, eating some dark plum can play a good role in relieving it.
The second is to stop diarrhea by astringent bowel. For example, when diarrhea occurs, eating some dark plums properly can play a good role in relieving it.
The third is to quench thirst. For example, in the hot summer, I am particularly annoyed with hot thirst or hot thirst. At this time, eating some ebony properly can play a good role in relieving summer heat, especially drinking a cup of ebony soup can also play a role in relieving summer heat.
The fourth is deworming. If there is ascaris in the stomach or biliary tract, eating some ebony properly can play a role in expelling worms. Although there are fewer cases of ascaris nowadays, Wumei Pills are often used to repel worms.
Third, who is not suitable for eating ebony? Although mume has many functions, it is good for our health if eaten properly, especially in such hot weather, which can play a very good role in promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.
However, ebony is not suitable for anyone to eat. Especially for those with excessive evil, it is a big taboo. This is because ebony has a astringent effect, and it is easy to leave excess pathogens in the body, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease and even aggravates the condition.
In addition, eating too much ebony is easy to damage teeth because of sour taste, and it is also easy to cause excessive gastric acid secretion, which is easy to cause stomach discomfort.
Finally, it is also pointed out in "Medicine Meaning": "At the beginning of cough, the breath is strong, the breath is short, the chest and abdomen are stuffy, and the fear of acid is a bunch of evil spirits, so stop it." Therefore, if it is a chronic cough caused by qi deficiency, or when the discomfort symptoms of cough just appear, or when the discomfort symptoms such as chest tightness appear, don't eat ebony.
