Between heaven and earth, all things have spirits, and creation is miraculous. It all depends on the principle of yin and yang, and the five elements are born together. Among them, ginger is strong in nature and refreshing in taste. It is used for both medicine and food, and its effect is very great.
In the past, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but when diseases and epidemics raged, the people were in great hardship. One day, in the deep mountains and dense forests, I saw a long and narrow blade of grass, its roots were like fingers, and its color was yellow and moist. Shennong picked and chewed it, and suddenly felt spicy and pungent to the nose, but the breath was smooth, and the body was light and healthy. Later, when it was used to treat diseases, all those who were cold and damp, cold and painful in the abdomen, vomiting and diarrhea, used it to have a miraculous effect, so
The use of ginger, in the medical tract, can also spread cold. Cold evil attack the surface, cold fever, head and body pain, use ginger with other medicines, or fried soup hot, can make the disease open and vent, the evil of wind cold with sweat and solution. It can also warm and stop vomiting, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, epigastric cold pain, those who spit out water, ginger into the spleen and stomach meridians, warm and medium coke, make the spleen and stomach transport and transformation normal, vomiting self-stop. And can warm the lungs and drink, cold and cough in the lungs, phlegm more thin, ginger's warmth can dissipate cold evil in the lungs, phlegm drink to stop cough.
In the art of cooking, ginger is also indispensable. The smell of fishy, ginger can be opened. When cooking fish, sheep, hogs, etc., add ginger slices to remove the fishy smell and increase its fresh aroma. When stewing meat, ginger is used with all spices. The meat is cooked and delicious, and the food leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. When cooking, ginger is used as a seasoning to enhance the flavor and freshness, and make the taste of the dishes mellow.
However, there is also a way to use ginger. Those who are hot, eat more food to help heat up, and have sores in the mouth and nose, swelling and pain in the eyes, etc.; those who are yin-deficient, the warmth and dryness of ginger can easily consume the yin fluid, causing dry mouth and throat, and the five hearts are upset and hot. Therefore, ginger is used to judge people's physique and diseases, and to apply it dialectically.
Although ginger is a small substance, it is of great use in medicine and food. When it is cherished and used well, it can inherit the grace of heaven and earth, protect the body and increase the beauty of life.
