Chapter 282 Can it nourish the kidneys?
“Hehe…it worked!”
Gu Chang smiled proudly in his heart.
No matter how powerful your little system is, I have it under your control!
At this moment, the system screen appeared in Gu Chang's mind again.
"The King of Medicine Plan: Develop Chinese herbal medicines from the Qinling Mountains, establish a Chinese herbal medicine production and sales system, and benefit more people in need!"
"Task progress: 7."
“The Chinese herbal medicines that have been developed include: Gastrodia elata, hawthorn, fungus, jujube, walnut, pomegranate, and chestnut.”
"So many?" Gu Chang secretly clicked his tongue!
What is even more unexpected is that it turns out that so many things can be considered as both medicine and food.
As everyone knows, hawthorn can be used to eliminate food accumulation and promote digestion.
Dates can be used to replenish blood and nourish qi, and are used quite frequently.
As for the rest, Gu Chang only knew that wood ear is also considered a traditional Chinese medicine!
When Gu Chang first heard Wang Xianye tell him that black fungus is also a traditional Chinese medicine, he was shocked!
I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me!
At first he thought Wang Xianye was trying to trick him!
Later I learned that in ancient times, wood ear was only sold in pharmacies.
Fungus, also known as wood ear, tree chicken, cloud ear, etc. in ancient times. Fungus is rich in nutrition and has the reputation of "meat among vegetables" and "flower among fungi". Its nutritional value is comparable to that of animal food, and it is called "the best fungi" together with mushrooms!
Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Auricularia auricula is sweet and mild in nature. It is mainly used to replenish qi and relieve hunger, lighten the body and strengthen the will. It can also treat hemorrhoids and bloody dysentery."
In the famous "Shennong Bencao Jing", fungus is listed as a "top-grade medicine".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fungus has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, stopping bleeding, and resisting aging and prolonging life.
At the same time, it is also used as a health food for patients with long-term illness, weak waist and knees, numbness of limbs, as well as anemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, cancer, etc.
However, it should be noted that if the fungus is soaked for a long time, it is easy to be contaminated by mold, and eating it can easily cause health problems!
So, dear babies, please remember not to eat black fungus that has been soaked for a long time.
As for the fact that walnuts, pomegranates and chestnuts are also Chinese medicinal herbs, Gu Chang really didn't know!
Everyone says that walnuts can nourish the brain, but Gu Chang has always believed that this is false propaganda. You can't say that walnut kernels look like brains and can nourish the brain, right?
This statement is too brainless, isn't it?
To be on the safe side, Gu Chang sent a message to Wang Xianye, a professional, asking about the medicinal value of these three things.
Wang Xianye, who was in high spirits, immediately explained everything to Gu Chang in detail!
"Walnuts, according to traditional Chinese medicine, are sweet and warm in nature, and enter the kidney, lung, and large intestine meridians. They can nourish the kidney, strengthen the essence and waist, warm the lungs and calm asthma, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, etc."
"To put it more clearly, walnuts can nourish the kidneys!"
"You know, hehe..."
Wang Xianye gave a smirk.
Gu Chang was stunned. This thing has this function?
Ahem, I have to get some to eat tomorrow...
"Can walnuts nourish the brain?" Gu Chang asked.
"There is no scientific theory to support that eating walnuts can improve your brain!"
"However, the intake of nuts can improve the cognitive abilities of middle-aged and elderly people. For example, the a-linolenic acid in walnuts can be converted into DHA in the human body, which can promote the brain development of young children and delay the brain aging of the elderly!"
After reading Wang Xianye’s explanation, Gu Chang nodded and said, “That’s what I was thinking. How could it possibly nourish the brain?”
"What about these pomegranates and chestnuts? What are they used for?" Gu Chang asked.
“Pomegranate is a treasure from head to toe!”
"The pomegranate peel, pomegranate leaves, pomegranate flowers, pomegranate roots and pomegranate seeds can be used as medicine. Different parts have different medicinal values." Wang Xianye continued.
"Pomegranate peel has the effects of astringing the intestines, stopping diarrhea, stopping bleeding, and expelling parasites; pomegranate leaves have the effects of astringing and stopping diarrhea, detoxifying and killing parasites, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. They are often used to treat injuries from falls."
"Pomegranate flowers have the effects of astringency, antidiarrhea, antiperspirant and hemostasis. External use can treat bleeding, mouth sores, skin itching, etc."
"Pomegranate root can repel parasites and can be used to treat roundworms, tapeworms, chronic diarrhea, etc."
"Finally, our pomegranate seeds are similar to hawthorns and have the effect of warming the stomach and strengthening the stomach. They can be used for loss of appetite and indigestion."
Gu Chang was stunned when he heard this. It was the first time in his life that he knew that pomegranate had so many uses.
Pomegranates couldn’t be sold before. If I had known earlier, I would have developed them into Chinese medicinal materials!
"As for chestnuts, you don't need to know anything else. You just need to know that they have the same effect as walnuts."
“Replenish the kidneys!”
Can this thing nourish the kidneys? Cheese prices are rising again!
Let’s make some tomorrow and try it!
Stewed chicken with chestnuts is not bad!
Wang Xianye’s explanation amazed Gu Chang!
He really didn't expect that these ordinary fruits and foods he saw every day had so many uses!
It seems that I need to eat more of these beneficial foods in the future!
……
"System, your reward has not been issued yet?" Gu Chang reminded when he saw that the system had gone silent.
The progress of this task has reached level 7, so there should be some reward!
