      When ordinary people eat loofah, they must consider its cold nature. Stir-fried loofah, and sprinkle some white pepper when taking it out of the pan. On the one hand, it can enhance the flavor, and on the other hand, you can use the heat of pepper to balance the coldness of the loofah, so that you will not have diarrhea or stomachache after eating it. Another way is to stir-fry loofah with minced garlic and eat it, which can also balance cold and heat.

      The luffa used in traditional Chinese medicine is made from old luffa, that is, after the luffa is old, it is air-dried. At this time, the flesh of the luffa is removed, leaving a densely woven mesh-like luffa sac, also called a loofah. The nature of loofah is no longer cold, but flat. In addition, its effect is not only to resolve phlegm, but also to penetrate deep into the meridians to treat the sticky phlegm or mucus that is blocked in our subtle interstitial structures, which are called meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, to treat red, swollen, hot and painful breasts of pregnant women, but unable to produce milk, if you use loofah decoction to stew crucian carp or pig's trotters and give it to the mother, you can produce milk.

      Loofah is generally used to decoct soups, and when combined with other drugs for resolving phlegm and dissipating stagnation, it can treat some common diseases. skin The appearance of phlegm cores, fibromas or lipomas has a good effect of resolving phlegm and unblocking meridians and activating meridians.

      In addition, beauty is popular nowadays, and everyone puts cucumber slices on their faces. In fact, cutting loofah into thin slices and applying it on the face is far better than cucumber. Because loofah is rich in collagen, pectin and other effective medicinal ingredients, this kind of moisturizing, whitening and anti-wrinkle effect is the best. 》》》 A must see!
