The efficacy and function of loofah

Although loofah is a simple dish, in fact, loofah leaves have certain functions and effects.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that loofah is mild in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation, cooling blood and detoxifying. In particular, the tendons of old loofahs are similar to the meridians of the human body. With the help of the qi of old loofahs, the meridians of the human body can be unblocked and the qi and blood can flow smoothly, so that the menstrual blood will naturally flow smoothly.

Here are a few loofah recipes:

1. Beauty: Sponge gourd juice is known as "beauty water". Cut the growing sponge gourd vines, and use gauze to dip the juice and apply it on the face or skin, which can moisturize the skin and prevent wrinkles. You can also squeeze the juice directly from the sponge gourd and add appropriate amount of honey or glycerin to apply, which is also effective.

2. Uterine bleeding: The remaining loofah after burning is called loofah frost, grind it evenly and set aside. Take 3-6 grams each time, take it with salt soup or rice wine, twice a day, it is effective for uterine bleeding or hemorrhage. Fry loofah seeds or loofah leaves until they are black, grind them into powder, take it with salt water, it can also treat menorrhagia.

3. Menstrual disorders: Dry the loofah seeds, boil them in water, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, and drink after mixing with warm rice wine, twice a day.

4. Excessive menstruation: burn 1 old loofah to ashes, grind into powder, take 9 grams each time, and drink with salt water. If taken with rice wine, it can promote lactation.
