Proper "winter tonic" can make the body strong and keep it slim.1. Eight Treasures: Angelica sinensis, Rehmannia root, Lycium barbarum, Peony root, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Jujube, and Licorice. 2. Four Gods (also known as "Four Ministers"): lotus seeds, Euryale ferox, Chinese yam, Poria cocos 3. Four ingredients: Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Paeonia lactiflora, and Rehmannia glutinosa. 4. Single prescription: Ginseng, Chinese angelica, Panax notoginseng, Eucommia ulmoides, etc. Cooking method: Put the prepared Chinese medicine, such as eight, four, two or one, into a large pot. Then prepare poultry (chicken, duck) or wild birds (pheasant, dove, etc.), as well as pig's feet (elbows), pig stomach, kidneys, eels, turtles, etc. After processing, put them into a large pot, and then pour in water and wine, or use only wine to slowly stew them. After the winter tonic is cooked, the effective ingredients will seep into the soup, the cartilage in the meat will become so soft that it melts in the mouth, and the unique flavor of Chinese medicine will fill the room with fragrance. The winter solstice is the day with the shortest day and longest night in the year. There is a saying in the "Book of Changes" that "Yang is born at the winter solstice". Specifically, when the solar terms reach the winter solstice, the yin is at its extreme and the yang is born. At this time, the yang energy in the human body is flourishing and is most easily absorbed from the outside, which can better exert its nourishing effect. This fully demonstrates that it is most appropriate to take tonic around this day.

Generally speaking, hot foods are suitable for warming and tonic, which is used for qi deficiency; cold foods are suitable for nourishing, which is used for blood deficiency; if there is no qi deficiency or blood deficiency, neutral foods are suitable, which is called neutral tonic. Normal tonic: pork and its liver, kidney, lung, etc., eggs, hen, duck, tofu, celery, radish, longan, mushrooms, honey, royal jelly, etc. Nourishing: soft-shelled turtle, crucian carp, mussels, kelp, jellyfish, pear, orange, apple, banana, lily, sesame, mung bean, red bean, pea, day lily, white fungus, bird's nest, etc. Warming tonic: lamb, beef and their offal, dog meat, rooster, goose, sea cucumber, squid, venison, jujube, walnuts, lentils, potatoes, onions, garlic, leeks, ginger, broad beans, wheat flour, wine, etc. |
