What are the medicinal properties of fried Gorgon fruit?

Gorgon fruit is a large aquatic herb that can be used as a medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the dried mature fruit of the Gorgon plant of the Nymphaeaceae family. Gorgon fruit can be found in most parts of our country, and it can help to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the essence. In daily life, the most common food is fried water chestnut, which many people like to eat. So the question is, what are the medicinal properties of stir-fried Gorgon fruit?

Gorgon fruit can be used raw and fried. Raw Gorgon fruit is mainly used to nourish the kidney and astringe the semen, while fried Gorgon fruit is mainly used to strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite. The nature and flavor of Gorgon fruit are sweet, mild and astringent, and non-toxic. Meridians: Enter the heart, kidney, spleen, and stomach. Efficacy: Strengthens the spleen and removes dampness, consolidates the kidney and improves essence. Indications: chronic diarrhea, incontinence, pain in waist and knees, dampness and arthritis, stranguria and spermatorrhea in men, and leucorrhea and vaginal discharge in women.

It is worth noting that although Gorgon fruit has the function of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, it tastes astringent and is difficult to digest. Eating too much can easily damage the spleen and stomach, cause congestion, and easily damage the stomach qi of infants. Whether Gorgon fruit is eaten raw or cooked, it is best not to eat too much at one time, otherwise it will be difficult to digest. People who usually have abdominal bloating symptoms should avoid eating it. This is the difference between raw water chestnut and fried water chestnut. Next, let’s take a look at the specific effects and functions of fried water chestnut.

The main effects of stir-fried Gorgon fruit are to treat spermatorrhea, stranguria, leucorrhea, incontinence and diarrhea. It is not advisable to eat too much, it can be decocted and taken orally. Fried Gorgon fruit is warm in nature and fragrant after frying, and has enhanced spleen-tonifying and astringent effects. It is divided into stir-fried Gorgon fruit with plain sauce and stir-fried Gorgon fruit with bran, but the functions of the two are similar, both of which are good at tonifying the spleen and astringent effects. It is often used for diarrhea due to spleen deficiency and spermatorrhea due to kidney deficiency and weak spermatorrhea. However, for general spleen deficiency and diarrhea, fried products with bran can be used. For spermatorrhea caused by weak semen, not only can stir-fried products be used, but also fried water chestnut with bran can be used.

Here I would like to remind everyone that fried water chestnuts are not suitable for everyone. If you have difficulty urinating or defecating, you should not eat fried water chestnuts. Moreover, people with poor digestion should eat less fried water chestnuts. The best way to eat Gorgon fruit is to stew it over a slow fire until it is thoroughly cooked before eating. Chew it slowly and eat it in moderation. This way of eating is good for your body.
