Longan

Moderator: Summer is a season that belongs to fruits. You can be a fruit and the medicinal materials that are litchi, yellow skin, longan, peaches, watermelon, etc. In this issue of "Fang Cao Baiwei", we invite Chen Yanxia of the Ministry of Pharmacy of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to talk to everyone-the longan that started with its face value, trapped its deliciousness, and loyal to its effect.

Chen Yanxia: "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "Food is expensive, while nourishment is good, litchi is hot, and longan is peaceful." The litchi season is close to the end, followed by the longan season. Everyone knows that eating lychee is easy to get hot. Although longan is also warm, it is much more peaceful than lychee.

Longan is a kind of medicine with dual -use medicine. Fresh products are generally eaten as fruits, and dry products are a treasure. Longan meat, longan shell, and longan nucleus all have medicinal effects.

Longan meat is smooth and sweet. Return to heart and spleen. It has the effects of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and soothe the gods. For lack of qi and blood, palpitations, forgetfulness and insomnia, blood deficiency and yellowing. Those who think about excessive or work, and the stress caused by the pressure of insomnia, forgetfulness, panic, and shock, and drinking the appropriate amount of longan dried water to alleviate these discomforts daily.

Longan shells are warm and sweet, and they return to the lung meridians. They have the effects of scattered wind and sparse watch, clearing heat and cooling blood.

Longan nucleus, flatness, slightly bitter taste, astringent, belongs to liver, spleen, and bladder meridians. It has the effects of gap scattered, hemostasis, pain, and relieving diarrhea.

In daily life, there are two types of longan meat we see, one is a fruit shell, and the other is pure fruit. Why are these two colors not big? The dragon -eye dried with shell is directly baked and dried in the entire longan. Longan meat is dry and dry after shelling and nucleus, and uses fast dehydration technology to dry. Gradually deepen. The two are a bit different, so the colors of the flesh are a bit different.

The pharmacist also reminds people here that people with heavy moisture, solid heat, and yin deficiency and fire are generally not recommended to take longan meat. Diabetes patients and pregnant women are not recommended to use longan meat. Longan meat is sweet and has a high sugar content. Patients with diabetics may increase blood sugar after consumption. Pregnant women are generally not recommended to take longan meat, so as not to cause fetal fever, restless fetal movement, or other unwell symptoms.
