Benefits of drinking Dendrobium officinale every day for women

Dendrobium is a species of Dendrobium with high efficacy and function among Dendrobium officinale. It is famous for the emerald green outer skin of its stem, and is called black knot grass because the space between nodes is gray-black. For women with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, drinking water soaked with sulphated dendrobium is beneficial, but as a traditional Chinese medicine, drinking dendrobium should be based on one's own needs and cannot be drunk every day. Let’s take a look together below.

Benefits of drinking Dendrobium

Herbalist Xie Zongwan once described the effect of Dendrobium officinale as follows: "It is rich in fat and has a strong yin-replenishing effect." Although taking Dendrobium directly cannot cure a disease, for people who are in sub-health, they can add Dendrobium to their diet for conditioning. Dendrobium candidum is more suitable for people who need to maintain gastrointestinal health, replenish yin, have internal fire, suffer from dry eyes and sore eyes due to staying up late, and have poor skin. "Shennong's Herbal Classic", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Ming Yi Bie Lu" and other books all have the record that "long-term consumption of Dendrobium officinale can thicken the stomach and intestines", which is also a recognition of its gastrointestinal health benefits.

Women with poor gastrointestinal function can make soup with dendrobium, ophiopogon japonicus, yam and other foods, because these ingredients are commonly used to strengthen the spleen and stomach. People with cold stomach, weak stomach, and frequent dry mouth can take these foods with dendrobium. People with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat too much greasy and spicy food when consuming Dendrobium. Instead, making soup with spleen-strengthening and stomach-nourishing herbs such as Dendrobium officinale is in line with the health concept of "diet therapy". The light-tasting Dendrobium soup has little irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and is easy to digest. People with poor gastrointestinal function should pay attention to regular and quantitative meal analysis, eat small and frequent meals, and relax their mood. They should take a short rest after meals before starting work. Dendrobium candidum itself is cold in nature, so people with cold stomach must take it with warm foods such as wolfberry, ginger, and jujube.

The weather is dry in summer. For those who need to reduce internal heat, produce body fluid and quench thirst, they can take Dendrobium with Ophiopogon japonicus, Lilium, Red Peony Root, etc. This combination can relieve summer sweating, dry mouth at night, etc. Dry mouth in summer is not a big problem, but it is very annoying. It is because the hot climate causes sweating, which in addition to irritability, will also cause a certain degree of "getting angry". At this time, we can use Dendrobium officinale and some cool ingredients to make tea to "remove dryness" and replenish water and moisturize. In addition, in summer, you can make juice with fresh dendrobium and add rock sugar, and drink it icy for three minutes. It is very rare and delicious. It is also a unique way for friends to make juice with fresh dendrobium and melon.

Some ways to eat Dendrobium suitable for women

Dendrobium, red dates, longan and red bean syrup: Dried longan and jujube are also top-grade products for nourishing blood, qi and mind, very suitable for women to take. When paired with Dendrobium officinale, it has the effect of nourishing yin. 10 grams of dried Dendrobium officinale, 20 grams of dried longan, 20 grams of jujube, 10 grams of ginger slices, 10 grams of old rock sugar (or old brown sugar), and one liter of cold water. After cleaning the raw materials, simmer for 2 hours.

Dendrobium, wolfberry and millet soup. On a cold winter night, drink a bowl of hot Dendrobium, wolfberry and millet soup, which is nourishing, healthy and warm! 5~10g Dendrobium, 20g Lycium barbarum, 150g millet, 500g cold water, 3g vegetable oil. Just make it as you would any other porridge dish.

Some misconceptions about women drinking dendrobium

1. Eating Dendrobium alone cannot be used to treat illness, so if you feel unwell, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Many people ask about the effect of Dendrobium on Helicobacter pylori. Dendrobium is not an ideal antibacterial food. The currently popular "triple therapy (OAC)" cannot 100% eliminate Helicobacter pylori. It is unrealistic to rely on Dendrobium to eliminate or even inhibit Helicobacter pylori.

3. Can I drink Dendrobium candidum during menstruation? Dendrobium is cold in nature, so it is not suitable for women during menstruation. In addition, it is not suitable for consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

4. Can I drink water soaked with Dendrobium officinale every day? A big problem with drinking Dendrobium tea is the dosage. Excessive consumption of Dendrobium will cause harm to the human body. Under normal circumstances, it is appropriate to consume no more than 5 grams (5 grains of Dendrobium officinale) per day. One fresh Dendrobium can be consumed per day. It is only necessary to drink Dendrobium soaked in water two or three times a week. Drinking too much in a short period of time will cause stress to the internal organs and cause discomfort such as getting angry.
