The efficacy, effects and consumption methods of ginger pinellia

The history of Chinese medicinal materials in China has been hundreds of years, and people have used them to treat their diseases since ancient times. People always say bitter medicine tastes good, how can the disease be cured without taking the medicine? So after taking Chinese medicine for a week, the taste in my mouth was gone. That’s true. Although the medicine is bitter, it can cure the disease, and that is the most important thing. Getting rid of diseases in the body requires a process, and Chinese medicine focuses on regulating the human body.

Ginger and Pinellia are a common Chinese medicinal material, but people who are not familiar with this Chinese medicinal material do not know what effects it has. They usually go to the hospital and get it prescribed by a doctor. But how can you know what ginger and Pinellia are when so many medicinal materials are mixed together? However, I will introduce to you the effects and functions of ginger and pinellia below.

1. Used for cough with excessive phlegm.

Pinellia is dry in nature and has the function of resolving phlegm. The phlegm it resolves is mainly caused by the spleen's failure to resolve dampness, which accumulates and forms phlegm. It is an important medicine for treating damp phlegm and is suitable for symptoms such as stagnation of phlegm and dampness, cough and shortness of breath. It is often used in combination with tangerine peel, Poria cocos, etc.; for treating cough due to excessive phlegm, it is often used in combination with Fritillaria. Because of its warm nature, it can also be used to treat cold phlegm, and it is suitable to be used together with white mustard seeds, ginger, etc.; because of its good phlegm-resolving ability, it can also treat hot phlegm and wind phlegm, and it can be used with Trichosanthes kirilowii, Scutellaria baicalensis, etc. to treat hot phlegm; if it causes wind phlegm, it should be used together with Arisaema consanguineum, etc.

2. Used for chest and abdominal distension, chest pain, chest congestion, etc.

Pinellia has the functions of dispersing heat, unblocking, resolving phlegm and drying dampness, so it can be used for internal phlegm obstruction, chest and abdominal distension and can be used together with tangerine peel, Poria cocos, etc.; if cold and heat are combined, it can be used together with Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, dried ginger, etc., to achieve the effects of pungent opening, bitter descending, dispersing stagnation and removing distension (such as Banxia Xiexin Decoction). In addition, it is often used for chest pain, and is used together with Trichosanthes kirilowii, Allium macrostemon, etc.; it can be used together with Trichosanthes kirilowii, Coptis chinensis, etc. to treat chest congestion.

3. Used for goiter, scrofula, sores, swelling and pain, plum pit qi and other symptoms.

Pinellia can also resolve phlegm and disperse nodules, and can be used to treat goiters, scrofula, phlegm nodules, swelling and pain in the genitals caused by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness, or plum pit qi caused by the accumulation of phlegm and qi. It is used to treat goiters, scrofula, and phlegm nodules, and can be used together with seaweed, Coptis chinensis, and Fritillaria thunbergii. For carbuncles that have not yet ulcerated, you can grind raw Pinellia ternata and raw Arisaema consanguineum together, mix with vinegar and apply externally, which has the effect of dispersing the nodules and reducing swelling. It can be used to treat plum pit qi, and can be used together with Magnolia bark, Perilla frutescens, etc.
