Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that there is often a plant shaped like a pine tree growing on old tiled houses. Especially in the rainy season, many of these plants will pop up on the roofs. In the arid areas of the Loess Plateau, it completes its entire life cycle before the next rain and quickly dries up and withers. This plant is so common that people don't even notice its existence and let it fend for itself. Occasionally, I hear old people say that this is a traditional Chinese medicine that can cure diseases, but it is not known what diseases it can cure. What is the use of the shingles on the roof? When I was a child, I was very curious about this fleshy plant growing on the roof. I once climbed up to the roof to pick some of it. It tasted very sour and astringent. Since it doesn't taste that good, I no longer pay attention to it. Later, when I was studying, I chose Traditional Chinese Medicine as my major. When I was studying Chinese medicine, I learned that this thing growing on the roof is called Wasabi, and it is indeed a Chinese medicine. The name of the tile pine varies in different regions, and it is also called sky-grass, tile flower, tile tower, sky-bush grass, tile frost, and house pine. It is a succulent herb of the Crassulaceae family. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses the whole plant as medicine. It is often harvested in August and September, dried, and stored for later use. What is the use of the shingles on the roof? The herb is cool in nature and sour in taste. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, and astringing sores. It can be used to treat hematemesis, epistaxis, bloody stools and other hemorrhagic diseases, as well as surgical wounds that do not heal and hemorrhoids. It is particularly good at treating hemorrhoids and is a commonly used medicine in traditional Chinese medicine surgery. As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids." Modern research has found that the high incidence of hemorrhoids is largely related to the fact that humans walk upright, because hemorrhoids are rarely found in animals that walk on all fours. Although walking upright freed the hands, it also brought hemorrhoids and varicose veins to humans, which can be said to be a "small price" paid for human evolution. There are many ways to treat hemorrhoids in traditional Chinese medicine, and there are countless prescriptions and Chinese medicines, but treatment with isoflurane is undoubtedly the simplest and cheapest method. Usage: 50g-100g of fresh Oriole, decocted in water, fumigated and washed the affected area, and sat in the bath for 15 to 30 minutes, once a day, one course of treatment is 14 days. Avoid spicy or cold food during medication. Of course, there are many types of hemorrhoids, and severe cases require surgical treatment. |
