Congee meaning explanation: Morning glory seeds, also known as black and white ugly, two ugly, ugly cow, are the mature seeds of the annual climbing herbaceous plants of the Convolvulaceae family, split-leaf morning glory or round-leaf morning glory. Morning glory is commonly known as morning glory or cup flower, which is generally grown in the mountains, roadsides, and bamboo fences, and is distributed throughout my country. When morning glory blooms, the flower color is darker, purple-red, and its seeds are mostly "black ugly". The flower color is lighter, white, pink, and its seeds are mostly "white ugly". The two have the same function, collectively known as "two ugly" and black and white ugly.

According to Chinese medicine, morning glory is bitter, pungent, cold, and toxic. It enters the lung, kidney, and large intestine meridians, and has the functions of purging water, eliminating accumulation and relieving constipation, killing insects and relieving pain. This product has a strong purgative effect and can also promote urination, so it can remove stagnation, reduce edema, and kill roundworms and tapeworms, and use the purgative force to expel the worms. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "treats water in the lungs, wheezing, fullness and swelling, depression in the lower abdomen, swelling in the waist and back, and wind and qi in the large intestine, and has a special effect. However, if the disease is in the blood and the spleen and stomach are weak and full, it should not be taken for a short time or regularly, as it will secretly damage the vitality." "Famous Doctors' Records" says that it "mainly reduces qi, treats fullness and edema in the feet, eliminates wind poison, and promotes urination." Pharmacological studies have shown that the seeds of morning glory contain morning glory glycoside, morning glory potassium, etc. Morning glory glycoside meets bile and intestinal fluid in the intestine, decomposes morning glory element, stimulates the intestinal wall, enhances peristalsis, and has a strong laxative effect. Morning glory glycoside can accelerate the excretion of inulin in the kidneys, produce a diuretic effect, and is therefore effective for edema.

The seeds of the morning glory are a strong purgative and diuretic, and are slightly toxic. Therefore, cooking them with rice into porridge can not only alleviate the strong nature of the seeds of the morning glory, but also use the tonic effect of rice to protect the spleen and stomach, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil. This is a valuable dietary therapy experience of the ancients, which is worth emulating today.
