is straight to the point. Today I want to talk to you about the Luohan fruit that has the same origin as medicine and food.
Arhat fruit
Arhat fruit was originally a wild fruit, and was first picked by monks in the temple to serve as a offering fruit in front of the Buddha. However, it has been baked by the incense and candles before the Buddha for a long time, but it is bright and smooth, revealing the Buddha's light. If you use it to cook tea, it will smell mellow and taste sweet, so it will be used to make tea to receive good men and believers who come to the temple to worship Buddha.
There is a record in "Xuren County Chronicles" that the Arhat fruit is often connected by eighteen Arhats, just like the Eighteen Arhats, so it is named "Arhat Fruit".
"Xuren County Chronicles": "The Arhat fruit can be used as medicine to clear heat and cure cough. The fruit must be connected in every life, so it is called."
Arhat fruit
There was an old saying by the previous generation, "A good medicine is bitter and good for diseases." Therefore, people always have a bitter understanding of Chinese medicine, and many people often refuse to take Chinese medicine because they are difficult to accept its bitter and difficult to swallow. However, as a traditional Chinese medicine, Luohan fruit is not bitter at all. It is not only not bitter, but also very sweet. This is mainly because Luohan fruit contains a substance called Luohan fruit sweetener, which is a low-calorie sweetener and one of the main active ingredients in Luohan fruit. Therefore, patients with diabetes can also take it with confidence.
So, as a traditional Chinese medicine, what are the medicinal effects of Luohan Fruit? It might as well take three or five minutes to listen to the story of Yuanzhi .
Clear heat and moisten the lungs
It is autumn now, and the autumn is clear and refreshing. There is no summer heat in autumn, and it is not like the cold and cold in winter. It can be said that autumn is neither cold nor hot, and the climate is particularly comfortable.
However, every autumn, the air often feels dry due to lack of moisture. Therefore, the dryness in autumn is the most serious throughout the year.
So where is the easiest place to invade dry evil?
Note that dry evil is the most likely to damage the lungs.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs like to moisturize and hate dryness. It means that the lungs like moist environments and hate dry environments. Like fire evil, dry evil, it belongs to heat syndrome . Running into our lungs can easily burn the body fluid in the lungs. The body fluid is evaporated, causing dampness and transform into phlegm. Therefore, predecessors often called the lungs "a device for storing phlegm."
In addition, the ancients believed that the lungs were like delicate princesses, and they could not tolerate a little dirt. Therefore, the lungs are also known as "sweet and dirty".
So, if dry evil attacks the lungs and breeds phlegm and turbidity, we will constantly cough, so that we can cough out the phlegm and turbidity in the lungs.
At this time, use some Arhat fruit!
Luohan fruit tastes sweet and cool, mainly entering the lung meridian, which can not only nourish the body fluids in the lungs and replenish the body fluids damaged by dryness and heat;
can also clear the dryness and heat in the lungs, and dryness and heat will be eliminated, and the root cause of phlegm and dampness will no longer exist.
Luohan Fruit
Swallowing sound
As we said above, dry evil is most likely to attack the lungs.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs open the orifices as the nose, the body combines hair, and the throat is the portal.
Therefore, dry evil often invades our bodies through the pores, nose, throat, etc. on our skin.
So, when you find that your throat is hoarse and accompanied by symptoms of nasal congestion, it is very likely that the dry evil has invaded the lung meridian.
Luohan Fruit can not only clear heat and moisten the lungs, but also has the effect of promoting the throat and opening the sound. It can not only be used for hoarseness caused by dryness and heat damage to the lungs, but also for people who use their voices excessively, such as teachers, announcers, hosts, etc.
Luohanguo
Slimming intestines and laxatives
Constipation problem has really troubled many people.
Yuanzhi has seen many people. In order to save trouble, they directly and simply and roughly chose senna .
Senna leaves
The reason why we say senna leaves are simple and crude is mainly because constipation is mostly due to the lack of body fluid in our intestines, and the feces are like stranded boats, stuck in the intestines. At this time, if you use senna leaves to push out these dregs hard, it will probably damage the intestines. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "boating without water".
At this time, you might as well use some Arhat fruits, which enter the lungs and large intestine meridians.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and large intestine are mutually external and internal, and the lungs are responsible for descending. lung qi can push the qi downwards and push the dregs in the intestines into the body bit by bit.
In addition, Luohan Fruit also has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing fluid, which can fill the body fluids of the intestines. The intestinal fluids are sufficient, and the dross can naturally flow downstream and be discharged smoothly from the body. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "boating with water".
Arhat fruit
Although Arhat fruit is a good product for both medicine and food,
, Arhat fruit is ultimately a cold medicinal herb. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold or diarrhea should use it with caution.
