Floating wheat is more effective when used fried than raw, and is good for storage.
Floating wheat is the dried, flaccid, thin caryopsis of wheat, family Gramineae. It is sweet in flavor, cool in nature, and belongs to the heart meridian. It has the efficacy of fixing the surface to stop sweating (stopping sweating by consolidating the muscle surface), benefiting qi, and removing heat.
Floating Wheat is used for spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by slight movement), night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, stopping sweating after waking up), and fever due to yin deficiency. It is not to be used for those who have sweated due to epidermal evil (evil qi on the surface of the muscle).
Frying floating wheat is to take clean floating wheat, put it in a pot, heat and fry it to brownish yellow color with mild fire, take it out and let it cool. By stir-frying, it is easy to decoct the effective substances, and the therapeutic effect is stronger. In addition, after frying, the moisture content is reduced, so it is not easy to mold, or kill the eggs of insects, so it is not easy to be moth-eaten.
If there is a need for medication, it is recommended that it be used under the guidance of a professional physician, not blindly self-medication.
