A, gastrodia elata nourishing the liver to treat dizziness

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "Gastrodia elata is a medicine for liver meridian and qi circulation". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gastrodia elata is pungent and warm, and enters the liver meridian, which has the effects of nourishing the brain, calming the liver and calming the wind, expelling wind and removing dampness. It is suitable for dizziness, hypertension, cerebral thrombosis, insomnia, neurasthenia, numbness of limbs, rheumatism, physical weakness, qi and blood stagnation, otogenic vertigo, infantile convulsion and epilepsy. Western medicine believes that Gastrodia elata is rich in gastrodin, vanillin, protein, amino acids and trace elements, and it is also a good food. Gastrodin is one of the main components of Gastrodia elata, which has a good sedative and hypnotic effect and has a certain curative effect on neurasthenia, insomnia and headache.

In addition, Gastrodia elata is also the main medicine for treating headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs and convulsions.

Second, gastrodia elata is forbidden to eat too much.

Zhang Lu, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, pointed out in Ben Feng Jing Yuan: "Gastrodia elata is not dry. After all, people with blood deficiency, excessive internal heat, headache and dry mouth should not be used indiscriminately."

Modern pharmacological experiments have also confirmed that Gastrodia elata has certain toxic and side effects. The toxic dose of single gastrodia elata is more than 40 grams, and the incubation period is 1~6 hours. Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of gastrodia elata.

In addition, gastrodia elata should not be fried for a long time. Gastrodia elata is mainly composed of gastrodin, which is extremely volatile when exposed to heat. Gastrodia elata and other drugs will lose their effective components of sedation and analgesia due to heating. Therefore, it is best to moisten gastrodia elata with a small amount of water, soften it and cut it into thin slices, or soak it in boiling water to nourish the liver.

Third, be careful about fake gastrodia elata.

There are many gastrodia elata in the market, and there are also many fakes. Not only do they not have the function of gastrodia elata, but some of them are even poisonous. There are mainly the following kinds of fake gastrodia elata: 1. The root tuber of Phytolacca acinosa (rough skin and long chewing tongue); 2. Mirabilis jalapa root (uneven section, light taste and prickly throat); 3. Dahlia (chrysanthemum) root (white in cross section, smelly and light in taste); 4. Grass roots of Eriocheir sinensis (grayish brown surface, translucent, obvious links); 5. Potatoes (smooth, with longitudinal wrinkles and shallow grooves, and no circular scars at the bottom).

So how to tell? From the appearance, the fake Gastrodia elata (Gastrodia elata) is composed of horizontal circular patterns, without spots, "Ying Ge mouth" and "belly button".

Authentic gastrodia elata is hard, not easy to break, and the section is slightly flat; The taste is slightly bitter and sweet, and it is crisp and sticky when chewed; It smells like horse urine after steaming.
