Introduction to Immortal Porridge

(Note) Immortal Congee is good for nourishing liver and kidney, replenishing qi and blood, strengthening tendons and bones, and blackening hair and beard. It is mainly used to treat liver and kidney deficiency and premature graying of hair and beard. A radiant complexion, black hair and beard, and a brisk pace are often the external signs of health and longevity for middle-aged and elderly people. Gray temples and dry and dull skin are often the symbols of premature aging. Immortal Congee uses Polygonum multiflorum as the main ingredient. "Kaibao Materia Medica" points out: "Polygonum multiflorum replenishes blood and qi, blackens the beard and temples, and makes the complexion bright. Long-term consumption will strengthen tendons and bones, benefit the essence, and prolong life." Li Zhongzi, a Chinese medicine doctor in the Ming Dynasty, emphasized: Polygonum multiflorum is especially important for the elderly, and long-term consumption can prolong life. "Therefore, the pills and elixirs used to prolong life in the past dynasties, such as "Yannian Yishou Bu Lao Dan", "Qibao Meiran Dan", "Shouwu Yanshou Dan", etc., are all based on Polygonum multiflorum. Pharmacological studies have found that its main ingredients can nourish nerves, inhibit the increase of blood cholesterol, and prevent arteriosclerosis. Red dates replenish qi and blood, and benefit the weak. Therefore, this porridge is effective for middle-aged and elderly people with liver and kidney deficiency, premature graying of hair, soreness of waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry skin and flesh, as well as hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. Long-term use can prevent aging and eliminate diseases, prolong life, and make people "immortal", hence the name.

This porridge focuses on nourishing yin, so it should be used with caution by those with yang deficiency.
