Doctors are most afraid of people having this thing at home

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I took my wife and children to visit my elder sister's home in the countryside. My sister has seven or eight fig trees planted in her yard. It is harvest season now, and the fruits are abundant and fragrant, which is very tempting. There is a scarecrow next to each fruit tree. Some long plastic ribbons are wrapped around the scarecrow. When the wind blows, the ribbons make a rustling sound. This is what my sister uses to drive away birds.

My sister said that the scarecrow is of limited use. The birds outside the yard are very cunning. When they see that there is no movement in the yard, they come in to steal the fruits. It is hard to guard against them, especially now that the figs are ripe, the birds come especially frequently. I said, figs are not some particularly delicious "magic fruit", birds will steal some of them, so just let them eat some, it's no big deal. My sister said, this is something you don’t know, figs can not only be eaten fresh, but also dried and eaten, they have high nutritional value, especially medicinal value. Then, my sister told me several examples of using figs to treat diseases. After listening to it, I couldn’t help but give the fig a thumbs up and looked up to it in my heart.

My brother-in-law is a graphic designer. He sits more and does less exercise all year round, which has led to "internal hemorrhoids due to years of constipation". He has blood in his stool and difficulty defecating, and he is in horrible pain. The hospital has treated the disease many times, but the disease has relapsed many times. It can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Later, an old Chinese doctor said that the fundamental way to treat this disease is to regulate the stomach and intestines, and to treat both internally and externally.

An old Chinese doctor gave my sister a prescription: eat fresh raw figs forty minutes before meals, three times a day, 1 to 2 figs each time, and persist for half a month to see the effect; or cook lean pork or large intestine with dried figs, add appropriate amount of salt for seasoning, drink the soup and eat the meat. An old Chinese doctor said that figs can invigorate the spleen and stomach, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, and are very effective in treating diseases such as gastroenteritis and hemorrhoids. My sister then followed the old Chinese medicine doctor's method and made fig and pork ribs soup for my brother-in-law. Half a month later, my brother-in-law's internal hemorrhoids were cured, and it has been one or two years now, and there has been no recurrence. For this reason, my sister planted seven or eight fig trees in her yard.

My nephew is a lecturer in a company's training department. Every time the company has new employee training, he always has dry mouth, sore throat, and hoarseness. Whenever this happened, my elder sister would always see it and feel anxious. In order to clear away heat and reduce internal heat for her nephew and moisten his throat, the elder sister used pear water, chrysanthemum tea and old duck soup, but the effect was minimal. After having figs, things are different. My sister is no longer anxious about it. She just needs to make several cups of tea with dried figs every day and urge her nephew to drink more, so that her throat will not be dry and her voice will not be hoarse. Because figs can clear away heat, promote salivation, detoxify and reduce swelling, they are a good medicine for relieving sore throats. My sister said that she figured out on her own how to make fig tea to cure sore throat, and she was quite proud of it.

My sister also told me mysteriously that figs have another magical effect – promoting lactation.

One of my elder sister’s nieces-in-law had no breast milk after giving birth. In order to stimulate lactation, her mother-in-law prepared many lactation-inducing soups, including turtle soup, pig's trotter stewed with peanuts soup, fish head and tofu soup, soybean and pork ribs soup, octopus and papaya soup, black chicken soup, crucian carp and pork bone soup, etc. However, breast milk just could not come out. The child often cried for hunger, and the mother-in-law was heartbroken. Later, I don't know where her mother-in-law got the recipe from, but she went to her elder sister's house and asked for half a basket of dried figs. She used dried figs, milk vine, sweet potato roots, day lily roots, etc. to make pig's trotter soup for three meals a day. As a result, milk gushed out, and her mother-in-law was very happy. To thank my elder sister for the dried figs, her mother-in-law specially sent two bottles of good wine as a reward when the child was one month old.

When talking about this, my sister's face was full of pride and satisfaction. It's a pleasure to help others! From then on, my sister took even better care of her fig plants and treated them as treasures.

My sister said that in order to learn more about the effects and functions of figs, she went online to look up some relevant information. She was shocked to find out that figs can lower blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and prevent coronary heart disease. The serum and juice of figs contain substances that can prevent and fight cancer and enhance the body's immunity, which can prevent the occurrence of many cancers. It can be used clinically to treat various malignant tumors such as tongue cancer, parotid cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, and colon cancer.

I said, this is too magical. If this is the case, no one will have to go to the hospital anymore, and hospitals should close down. My elder sister said proudly, of course, if we grow figs at home, the hospital will also be worried.
