Magnolia flower porridge

As the saying goes, "illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out." Whether it is a major or minor illness, it is very annoying to encounter such a situation. For example, for a cold, some people have taken medicine and received injections, but the cold still does not heal well. Not to mention the headache and fever, just the stuffy or runny nose is unbearable.

A stuffy nose is often a manifestation of a cold. Also, don't think that colds only occur in winter. In fact, in summer, most people like to stay cool, so they rush into an air-conditioned room right after intense exercise, but they should also be careful of catching a cold.

Colds are mainly caused by the invasion of wind and cold outside, and the accumulation of heat inside the body, which leads to the obstruction of the Qi of the body, the inability of the lung Qi to be released and descended, and the Qi and blood on the skin surface to be unblocked, which turns into heat and steams up to the throat. Therefore, after catching a cold, you will either have a sore throat and cough, or a higher body temperature than normal, and be afraid of cold, often accompanied by muscle aches and other symptoms. Most people know that after taking cold medicine, you should let yourself sweat a little, so that the cold will be almost cured. Why is this so? In fact, the main purpose of sweating is to release the lung Qi, unblock the Qi and blood on the skin surface, and naturally clear the stagnant heat, and the disease will naturally be cured.

Introduction to the efficacy of magnolia flower porridge

It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that "magnolia is pungent and warm, and it can move qi and enter the lungs, which can help the clear yang in the stomach to move upward, so it can warm the middle and cure facial and nasal diseases." It is pungent and warm in nature, enters the lungs and stomach meridians, and has the function of dispersing wind and cold and clearing the nasal passages. Therefore, if you really have a cold and have a stuffy nose, you might consider this flower. The pungent, fragrant and warm magnolia flower is light in nature and can move qi and enter the lung meridians to relieve depression and clear the orifices. It is an important medicine for treating sinusitis or headaches and stuffy noses caused by various reasons.

Magnolia flower porridge takes advantage of this characteristic and integrates its efficacy into our lives. It is delicious and can improve nasal congestion. Prepare about 10 grams of magnolia flowers and 100 grams of rice. Then clean the magnolia flowers, put them in a bowl, and soak them completely in about the same amount of clean water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then boil them in water to extract the juice, put the prepared rice in the juice, and cook it into porridge. If you think this method is troublesome to soak and cook, you can wash the fresh magnolia flowers first, cut them into thin strips, and put them directly into the porridge when the rice is boiled into porridge. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Eat 1 to 2 times a day for 2 to 3 consecutive days. It can basically clear the nose. It is especially suitable for those with nasal congestion and headache caused by exogenous wind and cold, or nasal congestion, inability to smell fragrance and odor, and runny nose caused by sinusitis.

In fact, whether you have wind-cold or wind-heat, whether it is the main symptom or a secondary symptom, you can use magnolia flowers to cook porridge. The only thing that is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and excessive fire or liver yang is because magnolia flowers are pungent and warm. In addition, most people may like to buy dried flowers from the pharmacy. If you buy dried magnolia flowers, it is best to wrap them in gauze when boiling, because there are usually some small hairs on the dried material, and these hairs are mixed into the medicine juice, which will inevitably cause coughing in some people.

Magnolia flower diet therapy can be used not only to make porridge, but also to drink soup. Adding some magnolia flowers to the water for boiling eggs is also a good choice. Prepare 10 grams of magnolia flowers and 1 egg. Wash the magnolia flowers and put them into the pot with the eggs (note: don't rush to break the eggs, we need eggs with shells here), add 500 ml of water and boil over low heat. When the water is only half full, scoop out the eggs with a spoon, peel off the eggshells, and put them back to boil for a while. It is enough to eat once a day, both eggs and soup can be eaten. It can also clear the lungs and clear the orifices, and is also suitable for rhinitis, sinusitis and nasal congestion and headache caused by it.

The magnolia flower is white and fragrant. Although it is not as beautiful as roses and peonies, it is better in its elegance. Therefore, in life, everyone must have a pair of eyes that can discover beauty, and also a heart that can live and understand life.
