What are the uses of white lentil flowers

Today I will introduce some common knowledge about white lentil flowers to you, so that you can understand them better:

Lentil flower usage and dosage

For internal use: decoct in water, 1.5-3 qian; or grind into powder.

For external use: mash and apply.

Clinical Application

To treat bacterial dysentery, 100 grams of dried white lentil flowers can be made into a 100% decoction.

The oral dosage is calculated as 0.5-1 ml per kilogram of body weight each time, once every 6 hours, and a course of treatment is 7 days.

13 cases were observed. After 3-7 days of treatment, 7 cases were cured (clinical symptoms disappeared and stool culture was negative for two consecutive times), 3 cases improved (clinical symptoms partially disappeared or alleviated), and 3 cases were ineffective.

No side effects were observed during the treatment.

Experiments have shown that 62.5 mg of lentil flower decoction per milliliter of Taiwanese herbal medicine can inhibit the growth of Shigella sonnei and Shigella flexneri in a test tube.

Function and indications

1. Hemorrhage. Dry and grind the white lentil flower into powder. Take 2 qian each time, on an empty stomach, with fried rice and a little salt.

2. Diarrhea. Roast the white lentil flowers (those that are just opening), select the clean ones, do not wash them with water, just blanch them in boiling water, then mix them with a piece of pork loin, a scallion, seven peppercorns, and sauce, mix them well, mix the scalding water with flour, make small wontons, roast them and eat.

Lentils are annual twining herbs of the Leguminosae family. Their flowers contain protein, vitamin C, and carbohydrates, making them an ideal beauty product and a treatment for menorrhagia and leucorrhea. Collect the unopened white lentil flowers between July and August each year and dry them for later use.
