Ginseng White Bean

The taste of white lentils and ordinary light beans is slightly different. When people collect white lentils, they generally like to dry them and use them as Chinese medicinal materials. Because white lentil is also one of the varieties of Chinese medicinal materials that can be used as both medicine and food, especially the dried white lentil, which is often added to soups. Some people also wonder what effect will be achieved if ginseng and white dots are combined together?

Benefits of white lentils

White lentil is a food ingredient that can be used as both medicine and food. It can be eaten as a vegetable, fried or boiled, and can also be used as a medicinal ingredient to treat some diseases. No matter from which aspect, white lentils are very beneficial to the human body. Here we come to understand the effects and functions of white lentils!

1. Spleen deficiency syndrome. White lentil can replenish qi to strengthen the spleen and can also eliminate dampness. It has a mild medicinal nature and is nourishing without stagnation. It is suitable for spleen deficiency, dampness stagnation, poor appetite, loose stools or diarrhea. However, its "taste is light and its aroma is weak, so it is ineffective when used alone. It must be used together with qi-replenishing medicines", such as Shenling Baizhu Powder, which uses white hyacinth bean as an auxiliary to ginseng, white atractylodes and other medicines. White hyacinth bean can also be used to treat excessive leucorrhea caused by spleen deficiency, dampness and turbidity. It should be combined with Atractylodes macrocephala, Atractylodes lancea, Euryale ferox and other products that can replenish qi, strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.

2. Vomiting and diarrhea due to summer heat and dampness. Summer is often accompanied by humidity. The heat and dampness of summer can damage the spleen and stomach, causing disharmony and easily leading to vomiting and diarrhea. White hyacinth bean can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness to harmonize the middle. Although it is warm in nature, it does not have the disadvantages of warming and drying, promoting heat and damaging body fluids. Therefore, it can be used for vomiting and diarrhea caused by summer dampness. As stated in Qianjin Fang, this product is decocted in water and taken orally. For those who are prone to summer heat and dampness, it is advisable to use lotus leaves, talcum powder and other products that can clear away heat and eliminate dampness. If it is the "yin heat" caused by taking a cool drink in the hot summer, being affected by the cold externally and the dampness internally, it is advisable to use medicines that can dispel the cold, resolve the exterior, transform dampness and harmonize the middle, such as Xiangru Powder (Hejijufang), which can be used together with Elsholtzia and Magnolia officinalis.
