【Cold Houttuynia cordata】The best wild vegetable to clear the lungs

Overview

Have you ever eaten Houttuynia cordata? Are you used to this fishy smell? I was buying vegetables at the market that day and found this. I quickly went back and bought a pack. The vegetable seller was very familiar with it and asked: Would you eat this? Isn't it fishy? I laughed. In fact, for people who know how to eat this, this taste is exactly the aroma of wild vegetables. I grew up eating this. When I was a child, when spring came, our friends would walk on the field stalks with baskets to pick Houttuynia cordata. Moreover, we wanted to pick the young seedlings that had just broken the ground and not yet opened their leaves. We took them home, washed them, mixed them in a big bowl, and the whole family ate them up in a while. Houttuynia cordata, also known as Zheergen, is the best wild vegetable for clearing away heat from the lungs. It is also one of the best foods for nourishing the lungs. It has a good conditioning effect on respiratory diseases. Last year, my daughter always had phlegm in her throat after she caught a cold. I used this to boil water for her to drink for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Houttuynia Cordata has a pungent and slightly cold taste when used as medicine. It returns to the lung meridian and has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and being a diuretic. Use this product with reed root, platycodon, melon wilt, etc. to treat lung abscesses; use this product with scutellaria baicalensis, Fritillaria, etc. to treat lung-heat cough; use this product with wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, honeysuckle, etc. to treat heat-induced sores; It can be used to treat damp-heat gonorrhea with Plantain Seed, Imperata Imperata Root, Sea Gold Sand, etc.; it can be used to treat damp-heat dysentery with Coptis Rhizoma, Pulsatilla, White Peony, Scutellaria, etc. It can also be used for external application of fresh products to treat heat sores and ulcers. In addition, pharmacological research also shows that this product has good antibacterial, immunity-improving, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostatic, antitussive, diuretic and other effects, and can even prevent gastric cancer and lung cancer.
