378. White Hyacinth Bean
It has a bit of the flavor of mung bean soup, slightly sweet, with a slight beany smell; it’s not very tasty, but drinking it feels quite comfortable. It seems to relieve spiciness and hangovers, and perhaps could be developed into a health beverage. Eating white hyacinth beans directly offers a texture between soybeans and mung beans.
After drinking, the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine area feel refreshed and smooth, with energy ultimately gathering in the spleen and stomach region, sustaining nourishment. After 30 seconds, a burp occurs, expelling metabolic waste from the digestive tract; the lighter, clearer parts are released through the burp, while the heavier, turbid parts are carried out through the intestines by the white hyacinth bean water.
Effects: Strengthens spleen and stomach, cleanses the digestive tract, resolves dampness and clears turbidity.
378.1 Hyacinth Bean Skin
With the same weight, the flavor of the hyacinth bean skin is much stronger than that of the white hyacinth bean, somewhat like white hyacinth bean water mixed with some loquat leaf water. It is also easy to chew directly and not unpleasant.
After drinking, its effect on resolving dampness and diuresis is stronger than white hyacinth bean, but it is less effective at strengthening the spleen and cleansing the digestive tract.
Effects: Resolves dampness and promotes diuresis.
378.2 Hyacinth Bean Flower
The sweetness is obvious, with floral fragrance and a bit of a fruit scent similar to sour jujube; the aftertaste is somewhat bitter. As a flower tea, it is a bit strong; using 3 grams for infusion may produce a more elegant flavor.
After drinking, there is a cooling sensation on the face and back of the neck, and nasal passages feel more open. The stomach is slightly uncomfortable; it seems to also want to nourish the spleen and stomach, but the energy is too strong to penetrate—after diluting it by half, it indeed feels much better. Not only does it replenish the spleen essence, but it also clears the mid to upper section of the spine along the pathway from the spleen to the spine.
Effects: Clears and benefits the head and face, unblocks nasal passages, strengthens spleen and regulates the Governor Vessel.
