The ancients said that eating lotus seeds can rejuvenate and live forever. This is definitely not credible, but its medicinal value in nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, strengthening the brain and improving the intelligence, and eliminating fatigue has been recorded in many medical classics of the past dynasties. For example, there is evidence in "Shennong Materia Medica","Materia Medica","Compendium of Materia Medica", and "Materia Medica Beiyao". Modern pharmacological research has also confirmed that lotus seeds have multiple effects such as calming, heart-strengthening, and anti-aging.
Tuckahoe is sweet and mild in nature and enters the heart, lung and spleen meridians. It has the effects of permeating dampness and inducing water, invigorating the spleen and regulating the stomach, and calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves. It can treat poor urination, edema and flatulence, cough due to phlegm, vomiting, evil obstruction, diarrhea, seminal emission, stranguria, palpitation, amnesia and other diseases. The diuretic effect of Poria cocos is achieved by strengthening the spleen and lung functions, which is different from other traditional Chinese medicines that directly diuretic effect. Linggui Zhugan Tang, Sijunzi Tang, Siling Tang, etc. are all commonly used prescriptions with the compatibility of Poria cocos.
The clever combination of lotus seeds and tuckahoe can treat long-term diarrhea, and at the same time has good effects such as beautifying and soothing the nerves! But patients with severe constipation should eat a small amount!
I learned how to make this food from the program "Healthy and Light", but I wanted to learn it again before doing it, but I couldn't find the original video! So different sizes, try to do it! Everyone forgive me ~
