Cut turtle meat into pieces and cook with fish bladder, add a little salt to taste, drink the soup and eat the meat, the frequent urination problem improved greatly.
Comment: frequent urination in the elderly mostly belongs to kidney qi deficiency, kidney qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency and other manifestations. Turtle meat and fish bladder (fish maw) have the effect of nourishing Yin and replenishing blood, benefiting kidney and filling essence. This formula is effective for frequent urination caused by kidney qi deficiency. Because turtle meat and fish bladder have a strong effect on nourishing yin and benefiting the kidney, they are also suitable for people with kidney yin deficiency.
The main symptoms of kidney qi deficiency: seminal emission, frequent urination or urination, or residual draining after urination, pale face, hearing loss, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, etc. The main symptoms of kidney yin deficiency: lumbar fatigue, dizziness and tinnitus, seminal emission, dry mouth and sore throat, flushing of both cheekbones, irritable heat in the heart of the hands and feet or afternoon hot flashes, etc. Note: People who are afraid of cold extremities, have little food and phlegm, and have a thick and greasy tongue should not eat.

Chongqing Dazu Li Changhui recommended: Since 1998, I have been unable to see clearly due to presbyopia. After being introduced by a friend, since March 2005, I took 5 grams of white chrysanthemum and wolfberry every morning to make boiling water as tea, and it became effective after half a month.
Comment: “Presbyopia” refers to the degeneration of the crystal body in the eyes of older people, gradually produce close reading or vision difficulties. Presbyopia is mainly due to the natural aging of the spleen, stomach, liver and kidneys, the internal organs of the essence can not be transferred to the pupil of the eye nutrition. The Chinese wolfberry recommended by reader Li is an important medicine to nourish the liver and kidneys, which can also brighten the eyes, and chrysanthemum can clear the liver and brighten the eyes, the two together, one clear and one tonic, taking into account both the symptoms and the root cause, which has a significant protective effect on the eyes.

Adzuki bean is the seed of the legume adzuki bean or adzuki bean, which has the effect of promoting water and removing dampness, and has a certain therapeutic effect on lower limb edema. However, it should be reminded that there are many factors causing edema, which can be both a manifestation of local diseases of the lower limbs and a symptom of systemic diseases. When lower limb edema occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for a checkup and make a clear diagnosis before doing targeted treatment.
Frozen shoulder: Pepper and salt in wine to relieve frozen shoulder
Hunan Guzhang Xu Jintang recommends: For frozen shoulder, take 50 grams each of pepper and salt, and 500 ml of white wine (45 degrees or more). Soak the pepper and salt in white wine, shake once a day, and leave it for 7 days. Usage: repeatedly rub the affected area with a cotton pad or toilet paper dipped in pepper wine, 3 times a day, and keep the affected area warm during and after treatment.
Comment: When people reach middle age, the liver and blood, kidney essence is insufficient, the tendons and bones are not nourished, the bones and joints do not work; plus feel the wind, cold and damp evil, blocking the meridians, Qi and blood does not run smoothly, it will easily lead to frozen shoulder.
Pepper, also known as Shu pepper, Sichuan pepper, pungent, hot, with a small poison, has a very good warming and dispersing cold, dampness and pain relief, can dilate blood vessels. Adding white wine to the concoction enhances the power of pepper to warm and disperse cold and dampness, and adding table salt restrains the medicinal properties of pepper which is pungent and hot with small toxicity, and can lead the meridian into the kidney. This formula can be used externally for frozen shoulder to warm the meridians and disperse cold, soothe the tendons and activate the collaterals. To obtain better treatment effect, in addition to pay attention to the affected area to keep warm, can be combined with shoulder exercise and physical therapy.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
Each time you take 2 grams with warm water, once a day (2 times a day for those who have a long course of illness and urine dripping out), 15 days is a course of treatment. Usually 2-3 courses can be cured.
Comment: Radix Panax notoginseng (Panax notoginseng) is an important medicine for dispersing bruises and relieving swelling, and it can stop bleeding and fix pain, while Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng has the effect of tonifying qi and generating fluid, nourishing the heart and benefiting the lung, and clearing heat and removing annoyance. The two drugs together can invigorate blood and dispel silt, nourish yin and benefit qi, dispel the evil and help the right, can reduce or eliminate the various symptoms caused by prostate enlargement, especially for the heart and lung yin deficiency type (or yin deficiency fire type) patients better effect. The main manifestations of heart and lung yin deficiency are: thirst and dry throat, boredom and shortness of breath, constipation, palpitations and forgetfulness, insomnia and dreaminess, red tongue with little coating.
In addition, this formula is also effective in preventing and treating coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.
Insomnia: Red fruit kernels and jujube soup can help you sleep well
Hubei Fang Liuyun recommended: I used to have insomnia and dreams, then an old doctor recommended me to use a recipe: take 40 grams of red fruit kernels washed and dried, pounded into mince, add 7 torn dates, put a little sugar, add 400 grams of water, fry in a casserole over low heat for 20 minutes, pour out the soup in 3 portions. I take it every night half an hour before going to bed warm, the effect is really good.
Comment: I have not seen any reports of red fruit kernels (i.e. hawthorn kernels) for insomnia yet, but hawthorn kernels contain quercetin and chrysin, which are effective in reducing harmful cholesterol; jujube benefits qi and nourishes blood, and has the wonderful effect of tranquilizing the mind and calming the spirit. The combination of the two flavors is worth a try for those who suffer from insomnia and dyslipidemia due to deficiency of qi and blood.
High blood lipid drink peanut shell shouwu tea
Chengdu, Sichuan Zhang Yu recommended formula: 100 grams of peanut shells, 5 jujubes, 15 grams each of Huangjing and Shouwu. Decoction, 1 dose daily, this formula has been tried by many people can regulate blood lipids.

The combination of the four herbs not only strengthens the spleen, but also removes phlegm and dampness, and regulates blood lipids, so it is effective in the treatment of dyslipidemia.
Constipation: Stir-fried eggs with leeks to laxate the bowels
Guangdong Shanwei Zeng Muyu recommended: I recommend a constipation recipe: take 150-200 grams of leek leaves washed and cut, fried with 5-8 grams of cooking oil, add 0.5-1 grams of salt, 1 egg or 50 grams of pork red meat, once a day, do dishes to eat.
Comment: The use of leeks to cure constipation has long been recorded in Chinese medical books. The leek contains fiber, together with intestinal smoothness, moistening cooking oil, eggs, pork red meat, the healing effect is quite good. It should be reminded that leek treatment for constipation can only be applied to constipation that is difficult to pass, or constipation that is difficult to pass despite the intention to pass stool, accompanied by less energy and weakness, like heat and fear of cold, and Yang Qi deficiency constipation.
Sweaty feet and itchy feet soak in rice vinegar to eliminate foot sweat
Heilongjiang Baoqing has Qingde recommended: My feet and toe area often sweat, feet wet, itchy between toes unbearable, socks have to change a pair every day, and accompanied by a pungent odor. This situation lasted for more than ten years.
Then I got a method: 1 kg (two pounds) of rice vinegar was poured into a basin to soak my feet for 10-15 minutes every night before going to bed. I soaked for 4 nights in a row. Now the soles of the feet are not sweaty, not wet, not itchy, and not smelly.
Comment: sweaty feet is due to poor evaporation of sweat, the epidermis is white impregnated, the most obvious between the toes, in serious cases can cause blisters, erosion or hyperkeratosis, preventing walking. The Compendium of Materia Medica contains: “Vinegar, commonly known as bitter wine; the northerners are mostly bad vinegar, the southerners are mostly rice vinegar; rice vinegar …… eliminates pain and swelling, disperses water and gas, kills evil poison, manages all medicines and disinfects.” This shows that rice vinegar has the effect of dispersing water, removing dampness, disinfecting and sterilizing, and has a certain therapeutic effect on sweating, dampness and itching in the toe area.
Hemorrhoids Black fungus and fragrant rice porridge to get rid of hemorrhoids
Jilin Lushui River Wang Qiming recommended recipe: 25 grams of wild black fungus and 250 grams of fragrant rice. Soak and wash the wild black fungus and cut it into small pieces, boil the aromatic rice with water, then add the fungus pieces into it and serve it in the pot. Eat once a day in the morning and once in the evening (1-3 bowls), and take for 15-20 days.
Comment: Fragrant rice can nourish the kidneys and clear the lungs, nourish the spleen and stomach, and benefit the vital energy and blood, which can be easily digested and absorbed by cooking the porridge. Wild black fungus can invigorate blood and dispel phlegm, cool blood and stop bleeding. In addition to treating Qi stagnation and blood stagnation, it is often used to treat various bleeding disorders caused by Qi deficiency and blood deficiency or heat in the blood, including coughing up blood, bleeding hemorrhoids and excessive menstruation in women.
Therefore, this formula is suitable not only for patients with bleeding hemorrhoids, but also for patients with other kinds of bleeding disorders. Black rice can also be used as a substitute for the fragrant rice in this formula.

How can I use something on hand to soothe my headache? What can I take for toothache without medicine to relieve the pain? Is there a good topical remedy for abdominal pain? For a series of common acute and chronic pains in daily life, we have selected some prescriptions that have been tested by readers and reviewed by experts, and hope they will be helpful to you. For the herbal prescriptions used in the prescriptions, it is not recommended to copy them, please consult the relevant doctor before using them.
Headache often drink bitter tea easily to headache
Renqiu City, Hebei Province, Zhang Kaiquan recommended: I am 56 years old, is a carpenter, long years doing wood work outside, suffer from headache disease for more than 10 years, every time a headache to take a packet of headache powder will be good. But for some reason, I have been feeling sick in my stomach, vomiting acid, and not eating well. The village doctor said that this is caused by eating headache powder, can no longer eat, and suggested that I take bitter tea. So I took the attitude of trying, began to drink bitter tea. I did not expect to drink less than two months in a row, my head did not hurt, eating is also fragrant, and from then on to say goodbye to the headache powder accompanied by years.
Comment: Bitter tea is made from the leaves of bitter tea concoction of wintergreen plant, in the ancient books called “Gaolu tea”, is a rare product for both medicine and drinking. Li Shizhen in the “Compendium of Materia Medica” contains the taste of the drug “bitter, flat, non-toxic, the southerners take as tea, boiled drink”. This medicine has the effect of dispersing wind-heat, clearing the head and eyes, expelling wind and activating blood, and is a wonderful product for treating wind-heat headache.
Toothache: Apply garlic paste to the painful area
Recommended by Li Aizhen in Luoyang, Henan: I am over 50 years old. Recently, I had a toothache so bad that I couldn’t sleep. When I went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that there was inflammation and the tooth had to be pulled. But I didn’t want to pull out the tooth. When I got home, I got a garlic, washed it, cut it into slices, and put it on the painful area, and insisted on it every day, except when I was eating. After a week or so of this, the inflammation disappeared and the tooth did not hurt.
Comment: In our folk remedies for garlic for toothache there are more applications, you can take a single head of garlic peeled, put on the stove simmering hot, while hot cut, external ironing pain, garlic cooled and then replaced; can also take garlic pounded, warm compress in the pain, the effect is very good. However, it should be noted that: 1, garlic should not be used too much at a time, and should not be replaced too many times; 2, garlic also has “contraindicated groups”: liver disease, non-bacterial diarrhea, eye disease patients should not eat; gastric ulcer and duodenal disease patients should not eat more; cerebral hemorrhage patients should be prohibited to eat garlic.
Heel pain: Packets of Chuanxiong powder in shoes
Zhang Zhengxiu, Jinan, Shandong Province, recommends this formula: For heel pain, take 45 grams of Chuanxiong Ligusticum and grind it into a fine powder, divide it into 3 parts, and put it into a small cloth bag and sew it up. Put the bag into a shoe and put it in direct contact with the painful part of the affected foot, using 1 bag at a time, alternating with 3 bags, which can still be used when the bag is replaced and dried.
Comment: It is written in Chinese medicine literature that Chuanxiong has the efficacy of moving qi and opening up depression, dispelling wind and drying dampness, activating blood circulation and relieving pain, which is still credible from the pharmacological point of view. According to Chinese medicine, Chuanxiong is a qi medicine in the blood and is good at walking around the body to activate the blood, eliminate bruises and relieve pain. Chuanxiong is also effective and safe for external use, and can be tried.
In addition, soaking the feet in warm water 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time and performing self-massage on the heel helps promote local blood circulation to activate blood circulation, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Wearing flexible soft-soled shoes, or placing sponge heel pads on the bottom of shoes to reduce local pressure can also reduce pain and help reduce local load.
Mugwort egg soup for stomach pain
Guangxi Fengshan County, Huang Mingqin recommended: On March 3 this year, a relative of the neighbor Liu’s family suddenly developed stomach pain, which was very difficult to bear, so he came to my home to seek help, so I introduced an ancestral prescription: wash and chop 150 grams of mugwort leaves, beat 3 eggs in a bowl and mix well, then put the mugwort leaves into the bowl and mix well with the egg mixture, then put oil in an iron pot, and when the oil is hot, put the mugwort leaves into the egg mixture and fry until Add 200 ml of clean water and boil for 5 minutes. Ladle it out and let it cool a little, then take the residue and water together. Take 30 minutes to reduce the pain by half, 4 hours apart and then processed according to the above, and then take 1 time, the stomach pain is cured.
Comment: Mugwort has the effect of dispersing cold and relieving pain, warming menstruation and stopping bleeding. Internal use is mostly used to regulate the treatment of gynecological diseases, external treatment of itchy skin. Folklore has it that mugwort leaves can ward off evil spirits, and collected around the Dragon Boat Festival and placed in the home, actually played a role in air disinfection.
Mugwort leaves have the effect of warming the stomach and relieving pain, and are also good for cold constipation. Mr. Huang recommended the prescription, the efficacy is credible. It is just that as a folk remedy, the dosage is large. We feel that using 10-15 grams of dried mugwort leaves, or 30 grams of fresh, should be able to achieve the therapeutic effect. There is a certain risk of using too large a dose. Readers are expected to be cautious. Modern research has found that mugwort leaves have antibacterial, protective effects on the gastric mucosa, biliary benefits, and relief of smooth muscle spasm. This may be the fundamental reason why the formula is effective.
There is also a folk remedy of mugwort tea, which is also very effective. The method is to use 9 grams of dried mugwort leaves, 10 grams of aromatic herbs, beaten into a coarse powder, wrapped in gauze, placed in a thermos, plus 5 jujubes, brewed with boiling water in the right amount, cover and simmer for 15 minutes and then drink in portions, finished within 1 day. This formula can also warm the stomach and disperse cold, move the qi and relieve pain, can treat pain in the stomach and abdomen caused by cold and drinking cold, preferring warmth to cold, vomiting clear water, loose stools, etc.
Pork soup with Xu Changqing for rheumatic pain
Shanghai Ye Mengsheng recommends: 10 grams of Xu Changqing, 100 grams of lean pork (sliced). Boil Xu Changqing to extract juice, add lean pork and cook, season. Eat meat and drink soup, 1 dose daily.
Comment: Xu Changqing, also known as Liao Diao bamboo, heroic grass, thousand cloud bamboo, is warm, pungent and fragrant. This product has various effects, clinically it is taken to detoxify and eliminate swelling to treat snakebite, to dispel wind and relieve itching to treat dermatitis, and to promote qi and relieve pain to treat rheumatic pain and bruises. This recipe takes its third effect. The addition of lean pork, which is both a delicious food and a health product, has the effect of nourishing kidney yin, nourishing liver and blood, and moistening skin, and can be used for the treatment of rheumatic pains as both an attacker and a tonic.
However, Xu Changqing is only used for rheumatic pain of cold nature, and should not be used for those with heat, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, bleeding is prohibited.
Chronic Inflammation Recipe
Eat raw fishy grass, colitis eight years without recurrence
The two flower tea for chronic pharyngitis, ginger juice for seborrheic dermatitis, loquat honey drink for stubborn cough …… readers recommended for chronic inflammation of the bias single prescription, the effect is good? We asked the experts to evaluate them one by one. Please note: all the prescriptions have applicable and inapplicable people, you check them against. For small inflammations and ailments in the body, you may want to consult your doctor and try it out for the right reasons. The effect will be more obvious if you supplement it with body conditioning, such as not eating and drinking too much, combining work and rest, and moderate exercise.
For stubborn cough, use loquat honey in the throat
Wen Yungui of Guangxi Province recommends: wash and dry fresh loquat, put honey in a cool place after sealing, and soak until the loquat is decolored. Take 1 tablespoon of loquat honey and hold it in the throat and swallow it slowly without drinking or eating. Take 3 times daily.
Comment: Loquat is both edible and medicinal, and when combined with honey, it has the effect of moistening the lung and relieving cough, resolving phlegm and stomach, diuretic and clearing heat, etc. It can be used to treat stubborn cough with certain efficacy. If the evidence is accurate, it is more effective in treating dry cough with little phlegm or sticky phlegm that is difficult to get out of the lungs. However, it should not be taken for coughs with deficiency of yang energy and cold coughs with dilute white sputum.
Chronic pharyngitis Drink a bowl of jasmine tea with honeysuckle
Hubei Zhongxiang Wang Huashan recommends: 3 grams each of honeysuckle, jasmine and wolfberry, 1 fat sea, and the right amount of rock sugar. Steeped in boiling water for 5-10 minutes to drink, 1-2 times a day.
Comment: Chinese medicine believes that chronic pharyngitis can be caused by yin deficiency fire, phlegm blocking blood stasis, yin deficiency and withered. The three medicines work together to nourish the yin and clear the fire, which is more effective for chronic pharyngitis caused by yin deficiency and fire.
It is worth noting that honeysuckle and jasmine are cold in nature and should be used with caution by people with a cold spleen and stomach who are prone to diarrhea. For severe chronic pharyngitis, the doctor should do targeted treatment according to the cause.
The actual fact is that the actual person is not a person who is not a person, but a person who is not a person, but a person who is not a person.
Seborrheic dermatitis Ginger juice rubbing the affected area
Shanghai Pudong Ye Meng Sheng recommended formula: wash and mash fresh ginger, wrap it in gauze and wring out the ginger juice. Wash the affected area with warm water first, dry it, then repeatedly rub the affected area with cotton ball dipped in ginger juice, 1-2 times a day, generally 2-3 days to heal.
The point: seborrheic dermatitis often starts from the head, divided into dry, wet two types. The former manifests as red spots, dry, covered with bran-like scales; the latter is yellow-red or light red spots, covered with greasy scales. According to Chinese medicine, this disease is related to damp heat and external wind. Ginger has the effect of dispersing cold, dispelling wind and removing dampness, and can be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis, which is more ideal for wetness.
The occurrence of this disease is related to digestive malfunction and eating too much sugar and fatty foods. Patients should abstain from alcohol, eat less spicy, fish, shrimp and seafood, beef, mutton and dog meat, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more water. The disease requires patient treatment, do not abuse hormonal drugs.
Colitis Eat raw fishy grass on an empty stomach
Yunnan Jinghong Yang Kai recommended: more than ten years ago, I suffered from colitis, belly button often twisted pain, take medicine is always not good. I followed the method told by an old friend, found some fishy grass, washed and pounded fine, eat raw on an empty stomach, 2 times a day, about 10 grams each time, avoid eating lard and fatty meat. After a month, the stomach pain was gone. After that, I always eat fishy grass as a vegetable, seven or eight years without recurrence.
However, fishy grass is cold, not belonging to the damp-heat poisonous accumulation of intestinal tract caution.
Chronic bronchitis: eat fried tofu with lamb fat on the winter solstice
Shandong Linyi Du Jinbo recommended: early in the morning of the winter solstice, half a catty of lamb oil, half a catty of tofu cut into pieces, first melt the lamb oil, put the tofu block fried until burnt, and then add water to boil soup. Eat tofu and drink soup. If you can’t finish it at once, you can eat it again in the afternoon. Insist on eating once a year to cure chronic bronchitis.
Comment: Patients with chronic bronchitis generally have a deficiency of Yang Qi, and the cause of the disease is mainly phlegm blocking the lung Qi, so the basic rule of treatment is to supplement the temperature and Yang, resolve phlegm and stop coughing. At the same time, we advocate the treatment method of “treating winter diseases in summer” or “warming the Yang at the winter solstice”. Mutton oil is good at nourishing deficiency and moistening dryness, and treating weakness. Tofu can clear lung heat, stop coughing and eliminate phlegm. When fried, both of them are good for warming and moistening the lungs and relieving cough and phlegm, which is very suitable for patients with chronic branch.
In addition, you can also take kidney supplement capsules at regular intervals or from summer onwards during the remission period of slow-onset, which is also effective to a certain extent. Of course, this kind of treatment is on the warm side, not suitable for people with Yin deficiency and internal heat, and this formula should not be used alone during the attack period.
