Essence is the guarantee for maintaining human life activities, nourishing the five viscera and irrigating the six viscera. If the generation of essence in the organs is insufficient and cannot meet the body’s needs step by step, it will naturally become weak and sickly. Today, I will introduce a traditional Chinese medicine called Dodder Seed, whose main function is reflected in its ability to collect essence. Above, gather the essence of both eyes; In the middle, absorb the essence of the spleen and stomach; Below, it can collect kidney essence.
Since the record in the Shennong Bencao Jing, dodder has been used in clinical practice for thousands of years. Since ancient times, it has been an essential medicine for tonifying the kidneys, promoting yang, nourishing essence and yin, and strengthening and protecting Chong Ren. Unlike other medicines that nourish kidney yang and nourish kidney yin, this product not only nourishes yang and yin, but also nourishes without being too harsh or too moist. It can work independently and can also be combined with other drugs to achieve results.
Most elderly people suffer from cataracts, and their vision becomes increasingly blurred, which is actually due to blurred vision. The liver opens to the eyes, while the dodder can enter the liver meridian, benefiting the liver yin and nourishing the liver blood. If the essence and blood are sufficient, the eyes should be marked. It has a good improvement effect on symptoms such as blurred vision, blurred vision, and blurred vision. Especially suitable for elderly people with gradually declining vision. The spleen is responsible for the transportation and transformation of water, grains, essence, and micro substances that we consume, and distributes them to various organs. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the transportation and transformation are weak. Before the water grain essence can be transported, it will leak out of the body, causing it to pull whatever it eats. The phrase ‘finishing the grain without melting’ is what it means.
Dodder seeds enter the spleen meridian and collect spleen essence, which has a significant effect on diarrhea, perennial loose stools, emaciation and weakness, and limb hypothermia caused by spleen deficiency. The kidneys are the foundation of innate nature. Dodder seeds have a pungent and sweet taste, a mild nature, and can also nourish kidney yin and kidney yang. It can alleviate symptoms such as lower back pain and erectile dysfunction caused by kidney deficiency, nourish the liver and kidneys, consolidate essence and reduce urine, promote yang and benefit essence, and treat symptoms such as nocturnal emissions, excessive urination, or premature ejaculation.
The efficacy of dodder is not limited to this, it can also be used for other purposes such as vitiligo and lowering blood pressure. It belongs to a type of Chinese medicine with a sweet and mild taste, which can be soaked in water for drinking or decocted into soup for consumption, and can quickly promote the absorption and application of medicinal effects. Both making tea with dodder seeds and soaking mulberries in water have the effect of strengthening yang and nourishing kidney. Long term consumption of Dodder Seed tea may have some side effects, such as excessive heat, dry stools, and other symptoms. Mulberry, on the other hand, can produce fluids to quench thirst, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. The combination of the two can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, making it the best combination for tonifying the kidneys with dodder seeds.
