377. Chinese Yam
The strong flavor must be mild, the strong flavor must be mild.
There’s not much to say about the taste itself, slightly sweet, with a somewhat viscous texture and a faint caramel aroma. If eaten directly, soaked Chinese yam is not as transparent as boiled; the degree of “revival” is somewhat limited, and you can still feel that it was once dried in the sun.
After drinking it, the “melting in the mouth (Qi)” sensation occurs; the Qi first gathers in the spleen, then automatically distributes to areas in the muscle layer where energy is weak. After I drank it, the Qi moved to the back and back of the neck, so for friends with weaker muscle strength, Chinese yam can really be a daily drink.
Eating Chinese yam directly, on one hand, the powder and mucilage have a protective and nourishing effect on the entire mucous membrane of the digestive tract; on the other hand, the Qi gathers in the spleen, reducing transfer to other parts of the body, making it more suitable for patients focusing on nourishing the spleen and stomach first.
Effect: Tonify the spleen, benefit the muscles.
381. Siberian Ginseng
Has a slight resin taste, overall flavor is acceptable, sweet with a bit of pungency.
After drinking, the spleen function is strengthened, like an injection of a stimulant (here you can imagine the engine accelerating with smoke effects); the energy pumped goes partly to the heart and lungs, partly to the kidneys and Dantian. But the effect wears off quickly, about 10 minutes to return to normal.
Effect: Strengthen spleen, lift Qi.
382. Jiao Gu Lan (Gynostemma)
Bitter with a bit of sour astringency, tastes awful.
After drinking, the body clearly feels cold and calm; the “Qi leftover as fire” in the heart, liver, and lungs is instantly extinguished. If used properly, it can make the body’s overall Qi flow more smoothly.
Effect: Clear heart, liver, and lung fire; clear heat and detoxify; relieve Qi stagnation.
