Women's health care: Palace secret recipe teaches you to "eat vinegar" and stay away from gynecological diseases

As early as in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" recorded the use of vinegar to treat diseases, and called vinegar "bitter wine." The Compendium of Materia Medica records the medicinal effects of vinegar: "Vinegar can cure various sores, swellings, heart and stomach pain, phlegm, blood diseases, kill fish, meat, vegetables, and insect poisons. It is simply because of its sour and astringent properties, and it also has the function of dispersing blood stasis and detoxifying." The Essentials of Materia Medica states: "Vinegar can remove dampness, dissipate blood stasis, detoxify, and relieve gas, as well as help digestion and stimulate appetite."

According to legend, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty would drink a cup of vinegar before going to bed every night. It was considered one of the "imperial recipes" for longevity and was quite effective. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acid enters the liver and the liver governs blood. Many gynecological diseases are caused by discomfort in the liver meridian. Vinegar is sour and specifically enters the liver meridian. It can enhance the drug's effect of soothing the liver and relieving pain, and can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and relieve blood stasis and relieve pain.

"Vinegar processing" is an important processing method of traditional Chinese medicine. In clinical Chinese medicine, vinegar is often used together with various medicines. For example, common gynecological medicines such as vinegar bupleurum, vinegar angelica, vinegar white peony, etc. are used to treat gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and leukorrhea.
