Almost all of my friends in the north have unanimously decided that fennel is for stuffing and have never thought of it in any other way. Fennel dumplings, indeed delicious. However, just this one way, not inevitably a little monotonous, the wrong such a good thing of the same source of food and medicine. Fennel can actually be eaten as a vegetable, stir-fried, made soup, cold can be. Whereas most green leafy vegetables are on the cool side, fennel is warm. Fennel warming effect in the green vegetables can be said to rank first. Leeks, parsley, scallions, these greens are also warm, but fennel is better than them. Leeks, parsley, scallions, these greens are also warm, but fennel is better than them. Why? Because fennel mainly enters the kidney meridian, directly warming the yang energy of the kidney. People with yang deficiency, that is, people who are cold and usually afraid of cold, are best suited to eat more fennel, which can tonify the kidneys and help the yang. Fennel can regulate not only deficiency cold but also actual cold. When you have an external cold attack, eating fennel can disperse the wind and cold. To put it this way, fennel has a health regulating effect on all cold symptoms. Anyone who has localized or overall cold symptoms, such as cold hands and feet, cold stomach, love of hot food or cold pain in the abdomen, etc., eating fennel is good for the body. Fennel also enters the stomach meridian, which can warm the stomach, open the stomach, nourish the stomach, and regulate all kinds of cold stomach stomach diseases. Fennel can be eaten to warm the stomach and relieve pain in people with cold stomach and stomach pain, it can be eaten to improve appetite in people with loss of appetite, it can be eaten to help digestion in people with indigestion, and it can be eaten to improve the spirit of people who are depressed. Fennel has a pungent odor, so it is also strong in regulating qi, and can be used to regulate diseases caused by stagnant qi, such as chest tightness, hiccups, intestinal cramps, abdominal distension, hernia, bad breath, and even cold and damp feet. Fennel is a yang aid, so it is not suitable for those who have a deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of yang and are usually particularly afraid of heat. Fennel has a slight sweating effect, especially sweaty people should not eat more. If you have a hot body, if you must eat dumplings filled with fennel, don’t pair them with hot lamb, but with cooler meats such as pork. If you eat vegetarian filling, it is best not to eat with eggs, but with tofu, because tofu is on the cool side. For people with a general constitution, eating some fennel in the spring and summer can boost yang energy. Especially in summer, the heat makes people have a bad appetite, eat cold and easy to hurt the stomach, eat fennel not only appetizing digestion, but also stomach and stomach. The flavor of fennel can detoxify and dissolve turbid qi. In summer, it is easy to eat unclean food that causes diarrhea, so eating some fennel can prevent it.
