Explanation of the meaning of porridge: Wumei, also known as green plum, plum fruit, and plum meat, is the fruit of the plum tree, a deciduous tree in the Rosaceae family, which is processed and smoked. It is a specialty of my country, and the ones produced in Hexi, Zhejiang and Anxi, Fujian are the best. Plums are both edible and medicinal, and are one of my country's traditional exported Chinese medicinal materials, and are very popular with foreign businessmen.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, black plum is sour, astringent and flat in nature, and enters the liver, spleen, lung and large intestine meridians. It has the functions of astringing the lungs and relieving cough, astringing the intestines and relieving diarrhea, promoting fluid and relieving thirst, and harmonizing the stomach and calming ascaris. It is suitable for chronic cough caused by lung deficiency, chronic diarrhea and dysentery, deficiency heat and thirst, abdominal pain caused by ascaris, etc. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "restrains the lungs and astringes the intestines, stops chronic cough, diarrhea, dysentery, ascaris, syncope and vomiting". "Ben Jing" says that it "relieves qi, eliminates heat and fullness, calms the mind, and stops limb pain". "Famous Doctors' Records" says that it "stops diarrhea and relieves dry mouth". Nutritional analysis shows that black plum is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin C and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, etc. In addition, it also contains citric acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, etc., which can promote bile secretion and have an inhibitory effect on Shigella dysenteriae, Staphylococcus, hemolytic streptococci, Escherichia coli, and Pneumococcus.

Animal experiments have shown that black plum decoction has an inhibitory effect on mouse sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich ascites cancer; it can enhance the function of reticulocytes, improve phagocytic function, and has anti-allergic effects. In vitro tests showed an inhibition rate of more than 90% on human cervical cancer TTC-26 strain. The compound "Ginseng Qingfei Decoction" containing black plums can increase the lymphocyte transformation rate of tumor patients and enhance the body's immune function. Black plums can be used as an adjuvant treatment for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer, penile cancer, etc. The method is to boil 250 grams of black plums twice in water, combine the two liquids, concentrate them, add an appropriate amount of honey, boil and bottle them, take them twice a day, 5-10 ml each time, add them to the liquid medicine for drinking, or take 10-30 grams of black plums, decoct them with Chinese medicine, or cook them into porridge for consumption.
