The Correct Way of Yuling Ointment
1.
To prepare longan meat, it is best to choose natural dried meat. Longan enters the heart and spleen, nourishes the heart and nourishes the blood, soothes the mind and calms the mind. It is the best blood-filling material with the same medicine and food.
2.
Prepare American ginseng. It is best to use imported ones. Because the domestically produced American ginseng has a mild temperature and the imported coolness, it matches the sweetness and warmth of longan. Use a copper scale or electronic scale accurate to 1 gram to weigh 45 grams.
3.
Make American ginseng powder to give full play to its properties of nourishing yin, moisturizing dryness, nourishing qi and promoting fluid.
4.
The original text of Yuling paste is "steamed on a rice pot every day, steamed a hundred times". Therefore, rice should be enlarged under the steamer. Rice is the best natural ingredient to replenish the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Our body's qi, blood and body fluid depend on the spleen and stomach's movement and transformation. The main purpose of magnifying rice is to increase the spleen and nourishment effects of Yuling Ointment. The steaming effect with plain boiled water is definitely compromised here.
5.
Mix longan and American ginseng according to the ratio, and add 20 grams of sugar to each portion. White sugar enters the spleen meridian, moisturizes the heart and lungs, nourishes the spleen and the middle, can introduce medicine into the meridian, make the taste more mellow, and increase the yin and blood nourishing effect of Yuling ointment. Note that white sugar cannot be omitted. Wang Mengying wrote that the ratio of longan, American ginseng and white sugar is 10:1:1. However, considering that he lived in the years of war and frequent famines, modern people eat more fat, sweet and greasy food, and the spleen and stomach are overburdened. , After my verification and comparison, it is more appropriate to reduce the white sugar to 20 grams.
6.
"Bowl mouth power with a layer of silk wool" means to cover the steaming pot with several layers of cotton cloth. Please pay attention: You must not seal the Yuling paste here, and make sure that the Yuling paste can absorb the steam of the rice when it is steamed. If the jar is sealed, the steam cannot penetrate, which lacks the spleen-tonifying effect of rice. In fact, after my comparison, the cover cotton cloth is better in terms of taste and efficacy. The sealed steamed Yuling ointment has a heavy jerky American ginseng taste even if it is steamed for 40 hours, and lacks peace of mind.
7.
Put the lid on the pot, turn to a low fire after the water boils, pay close attention to the changes in the water, and prevent the pot from drying out! ! Yuling ointment needs to be steamed for a total of 40 hours, enough time to get rid of the greasy warmth of longan, and the taste will gradually change from sweet and greasy to bitter and sweet, so that Yuling ointment will not be absorbed by the fire. (Be careful, longan and American ginseng have not changed much after only steaming for a few hours. At this time, eating not only does not have the effect of nourishing blood, but it is also easy to get angry and indigestion). But 40 hours is not enough. The best way is to steam 4-8 hours at a time according to the amount of water. Change the rice every time you change the water, and make it in a few days.
8.
That's it! Smell the full-bodied scent of rice and Yuling ointment, experience the magic of time, and taste the qi and blood-filling things that you have made yourself. Isn’t it a sense of accomplishment?
9.
Fill it in a bottle and seal it in the refrigerator. Take lychee-sized boiled water every day and take it once a day. Women can take it normally during their menstrual period. Be careful not to eat cold, spicy, irritating, fat, sweet, and greasy taste during the period of taking.
