Golden harvest season——Cordyceps Flower Duck Soup

Overview

Although autumn is a good harvest season, autumn dryness is a symptom that many people have. I heard an old Chinese doctor say that autumn dryness can be divided into two categories: warm and cool dryness. Autumn belongs to gold in the five elements, which corresponds to dryness evil, and corresponds to the lungs in the five internal organs. Autumn dryness is a disease with mainly pulmonary symptoms (respiratory symptoms) caused by people experiencing dryness in autumn, which is equivalent to diseases such as influenza and acute bronchitis in Western medicine. Generally speaking, the characteristics of dryness evil are that if dryness prevails, dryness will result. That is, dryness evil will lead to depletion of yin and body fluids, resulting in symptoms such as dry skin and loss of body fluids. Clinically, it is divided into warm-dry and cool-dry according to its different properties of cold and heat. The former mostly occurs in early autumn when the air is still hot, or when there is no rain for a long time. In addition to the above-mentioned dry symptoms, it may also be accompanied by symptoms similar to wind-heat and cold, such as headache and body heat, upset and thirst, sore throat, cough with yellow phlegm, red tongue and dry coating, rapid pulse, etc.; The scientific name of Cordyceps flower is Cordyceps militaris, which is a kind of fungus, belonging to the subphylum Ascomycota, order Claviceps, family Clavicaceae, and genus Cordyceps. Cordyceps flower is just a special name for it by people in the southern region. In order to distinguish it from Cordyceps Sinensis, smart merchants gave it a beautiful name - Cordyceps Flower. Suitable people: 1. Mental workers; sub-healthy people; 2. People prone to fatigue, easy to catch colds, overweight or thin, weak, and low immunity; 3. Sore waist and knees, poor kidney function; 4. Facial stains and dullness. It is suitable for diseases such as deficiency of lung and kidney, deficiency of essence and Qi, cough and shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating and night sweats, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, impotence and spermatorrhea, labor cough and bloody phlegm. Because it has a gentle nature and can replenish yin and yang, it is also a good food and medicine for the elderly and infirm, those who are weak after illness and those who are weak after childbirth.
