Bawanghua sea coconut, lily and lotus seed soup--clearing the heart, moistening the lungs, clearing away heat and detoxifying
Overview
I remember what our ancestors said: medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements. Suddenly an idea came to my mind, yes, I also have Bawang Tweed for making bone soup and sea coconut at home. In the past, I always made meat soup, but this time I wanted to try a vegetarian soup. Introduction to Rafflesia flower. Rafflesia flower is also called Rafflesia flower. It got its name because of its huge flowers. Some people describe the stench of the Overlord flower as a mixture of carrion and feces, which is very similar to the smell of rotting animal carcasses, so it has been nicknamed the corpse flower. Rafflesia Arnoldi is also known as Rafflesia Arnoldi, which is named after its discoverer Raffles. Rafflesia Arnoldi has many names, including Rafflesia Arnoldi, Sword Flower, Overlord Whip, Measuring Ruler, Wind and Rain Flower, False Epiphyllum, etc. Almost every name has a beautiful origin. Rafflesia Arnoldi is used in cooking and is mainly used to make Laohuo soup. Because Chinese medicine believes that Bawang flower is sweet and cool in nature and flavor, enters the lungs, and has the effects of clearing away heat and phlegm, removing accumulated heat, relieving gas pain, and regulating phlegm and fire. Therefore, Bawanghua soup has the functions of clearing the heart and moistening the lungs, clearing away heat and relieving fever, removing phlegm and relieving cough. Secondly, Bawanghua soup has obvious curative effect and nourishing effect on the treatment of cerebral arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, bronchitis, cervical lymphatic tuberculosis, mumps, etc. Moreover, when the Bawang flower is made into soup, its flavor is fragrant and the soup is sweet and smooth. It is deeply loved by the Cantonese people who are a soup maker. It is an excellent tonic soup. Introduction to sea coconut. Sea coconut is a common soup. It has the functions of nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, removing dryness and heat, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Sea coconut does not grow on the sea floor, but is a palm plant. Sea coconut is commercially divided into African sea coconut and Thai sea coconut according to the place of origin. Only the latter is available on the market. Because sea coconut is an exotic species, there is almost no information about it in traditional Chinese herbal medicine literature, and there is no trace of it in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Another theory about the origin of the name of sea coconut is that before the Seychelles Islands were discovered, someone in Southeast Asia picked up a large coconut on the beach and thought it was a plant fruit on the sea floor. In addition, it has many similarities with local coconuts, so it is called sea coconut. Okay, other things like lily and lotus seeds are very common, so I won’t ask Du Niang why wolfberry and longan are added. Because I feel that the whole soup is a bit cold, so I add these two hot things to neutralize it a little, and the amount must be small
