The efficacy and function of Manshanxiang

Normally, we often see some unknown plants on hillsides or plains. After asking the locals, we find out that they are called Manshanxiang. The name sounds very imaginative, but it looks quite ordinary and nothing too surprising. In fact, everyone does not know that although Manshanxiang looks ordinary, it actually has many functions and medicinal value.

Dietary therapy method: Take 50 grams of Manshanxiang, rinse it with water, and add appropriate amount of pork bones

As the saying goes: There is no mountain without guests, and there is no guest without mountain. Most Hakka people live in the mountains where there are many wild plants and trees. Medicinal herbs grow everywhere in front of and behind houses, and in ditches and ridges of fields. The Hakka people not only fought tenaciously, but also accumulated a lot of economical and effective herbal medical knowledge and experience.

Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, every household takes a herbal bath to prolong health and longevity, and this custom has become a Hakka traditional custom.

In Hakka, most Hakka people live in mountainous areas, where the soil and water are cold and the residents often have weak and cold constitutions. People are often in a state of fatigue after work. If they are not careful, they are particularly susceptible to external evils such as wind, cold and dampness, which can cause symptoms such as headaches and body aches, affecting their future life and work. Bathing with water boiled with sweet vine grass (commonly known as warm water) is a traditional Hakka health care remedy. In Hakka tradition, fragrant vine seeds are also used for postpartum medicinal baths for women. Eggs are boiled at the same time as the bath water. The eggs boiled with fragrant vine seeds have a unique flavor.
