What are the ways to eat fresh Dendrobium?

Dendrobium is a common Chinese herbal medicine. Its nutritional value is very high, and taking it has many benefits for human health. However, different ways of taking Dendrobium have different effects and treat different diseases. When taking Dendrobium, you must eat it according to your own physical needs and taste. So what are the ways to eat fresh Dendrobium?

Dendrobium has many benefits for the body and its effects are quite unique, so it is not in sufficient supply in the market and is also called Qianjincao. In addition, taking Dendrobium also has certain side effects, but the harm to the body is not obvious, and the toxicity is relatively low.

When taking Dendrobium or drinking it in water, be sure to pay attention to the dosage. If you take too much Dendrobium, it is easy to cause poisoning, such as convulsions.

In addition, Dendrobium can restrain evil spirits, so that they cannot be dispersed out of the body. Therefore, if the body suffers from a disease of a warm nature, it is forbidden to take too much Dendrobium, otherwise it will be detrimental to the body's recovery.

Dendrobium also has a certain moisturizing effect, so if you have a damp-heat constitution, it is best not to drink Dendrobium alone in water.

The following foods should be avoided after taking Dendrobium:

1. Some Chinese medicinal materials with laxative effects should not be taken after taking Dendrobium. There are many common Chinese medicinal materials with laxative effects, such as croton, rhubarb, hemp seed and Glauber's salt.

2. Do not touch radishes either, although there is no experiment showing a direct conflict between Dendrobium and radishes. However, the main function of radish is to promote ventilation, which can greatly promote gastrointestinal motility and defecation. This will greatly shorten the time that Dendrobium stays in the human intestine, so that the medicinal effect cannot be completely absorbed by the small intestine, affecting the body's recovery;

3. Avoid contact with more traditional Chinese medicines with dispersing effects, such as mint, cassia twig, magnolia flower, schizonepeta and perilla leaf;

4. Chinese medicinal materials with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, such as honeysuckle, dandelion and Houttuynia cordata, etc.

Pregnant women should be cautious when drinking Dendrobium officinale in water

After a woman becomes pregnant, her body has to take care of the growth of the baby in her belly, so her appetite will increase. Although the appetite of expectant mothers is increasing at this time, it does not mean that they can eat whatever they want or that they can eat all kinds of food. In fact, there are many foods or medicinal herbs that women cannot touch at this stage. Dendrobium has a very good health-care effect on our body. In daily life, it is often used to soak in water, stew soup or make porridge.

There are many ways to eat Dendrobium, whether you chew it directly, make it into tea, or use it to stew soup or cook porridge, all of which have very good tonic effects on the body.

Generally speaking, the amount of Dendrobium used must be determined according to the different physical conditions of each patient. Different physical conditions also determine the different daily intake amounts. For healthy or sub-healthy people, the daily intake of fresh Dendrobium can be controlled at around 10g to 15g; if you are taking the dry product, the amount should be controlled between 2-3 grams, and never exceed the amount.

If it is fresh Dendrobium, you can also take it directly after washing it, but you need to chew it carefully. Dendrobium tastes sweet, but it feels a little sticky. In addition, many people are reluctant to spit out the residue after biting it, which is a mistake. After fully chewing out the gelatinous and fibrous residue, you can spit it out.
