Beef stew with Cistanche deserticola

Overview

Extremely cold. The drizzle finally turned into snowflakes as night fell. I didn’t think much about it, and spent the whole night speechless. In the early morning, I saw the trees on the roof covered with snow, and finally realized that the Arctic vortex was really coming. Snow? ! Is this a scene I haven’t seen in how many years? The snow is falling more and more densely, and the beef soup with cistanche deserticola is already cooked. . . This soup nourishes kidney yin and strengthens kidney yang. The beef in the soup is sweet and mild in nature, nourishes the spleen and stomach, and replenishes qi and blood. It is a low-fat and highly nutritious food. Cistanche deserticola is sweet, salty and warm in nature and flavor, nourishes the kidneys and essence, moistens the intestines and relieves constipation. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it is a medicine that nourishes life, nourishes the kidneys, and replenishes essence and blood. Contains trace amounts of alkaloids and crystalline neutral substances. According to research, this product has a blood pressure lowering effect. Cuscuta japonica has a pungent and sweet taste, nourishes the kidneys and liver, and improves eyesight. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" says that it can make up for deficiencies and relieve fatigue. The juice can remove black spots on the face and improve eyesight after long-term use. Contains resin glycosides, sugars and other ingredients, which can lower blood pressure. In "Yu Yao Yuan Prescription", there is a health-prolonging and protective elixir, which is composed of cistanche deserticola and dodder seed. It has the functions of replenishing vitality, strengthening bones and muscles, consolidating essence and strengthening yang, unblocking blood vessels, moisturizing the skin, and long-term use to prolong life. Cistanche deserticola and dodder seed are used together to double the effect of nourishing the kidneys. They not only nourish kidney yin, but also strengthen kidney yang, nourish yang without drying out, and nourish yin without being greasy. Remove the smell of ginger. Combined into a soup, it can reduce fat and extend life, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the skin, and nourish the skin. However, although this soup is tonic for both yin and yang, it is biased towards tonifying yang. It is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and excessive fire, nor is it suitable for people with colds and fever.
