Shengdi generally refers to raw dihuang, which is a traditional Chinese medicine, while lean meat is food and does not have medicinal properties. Therefore, the effect of stewed lean pork as a medicinal meal is the effect of raw huangdi, that is, there is a certain amount of heat and cool blood, yin and Jin efficacy, but the effect is very limited.
The effect of Radix et Rhizoma Dioscoreae is to clear heat and cool the blood, nourish Yin and promote the production of body fluid. It can be used for treating the symptoms of heat in the blood (the degree of invasion of heat into the human body is deep, and the symptoms are more serious), temperature and poisonous spots (the temperature and heat of poisonous evils invading the human body leads to the appearance of skin spots and plaques), blood heat and hemorrhage and heat in the yin, and Yin deficiency fever. Sheng Di Huang should not be used by people with spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation, or with abdominal fullness and loose stools (thin and unformed feces).
Lean meat has some nutritional value and no medicinal effect.
The combination of the above two ingredients makes the stewed lean pork with Radix et Rhizoma Shengdi have some of the effects of Radix et Rhizoma Shengdi as mentioned above. However, the efficacy of the medicinal diet is limited and slow-acting, so it cannot replace the use of medicines to treat diseases. If there is any discomfort, consult a doctor, follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, not self-medication.
