[cold Houttuynia Cordata] The Best Wild Vegetable for Clearing Lungs

Have you ever eaten houttuynia? Are you used to this "fishy" smell? I found this when I bought a good vegetable at the vegetable farm that day. I hurried back and bought a package. The vegetable seller was familiar with it and asked, "You can eat this? Isn't it fishy?" I laughed, but it is actually for people who can eat this. This taste is exactly the scent of wild vegetables. I grew up with snacks. When I was young, when spring came, our friends would walk on the field stalks with baskets to pick houttuynia cordata, and what we want to pick is freshly broken soil. The tender seedlings that have not yet opened their leaves are taken home and washed, mixed in a large bowl, and the whole family will eat them up in a while.
Houttuynia cordata is also called Zheergen. It is the best wild vegetable for clearing lung heat and one of the best foods for nourishing the lungs. It has a good conditioning effect on respiratory diseases. Last year, my daughter always had phlegm in her throat after a cold. For a long time I used this boiled water for her to drink. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that houttuynia cordata has a pungent and slightly cold nature as a medicine, and it returns to the lung meridian.
