009 The first battle to get rid of bad breath

Banxia, the dried tuber of the medicinal plant Banxia of the Araceae family. Also known as three-leaf half-summer; Half Moon Lotus; Three-step jump; Eight beans; King Fruit; Swallowtail.

It is mainly used for the treatment of phlegm cough and wheezing, phlegm drinking dizziness, wind phlegm dizziness, phlegm syncope, headache, vomiting and nausea, chest tightness, plum nuclear gas syndrome; Raw external treatment of carbuncle sputum nucleus. Ginger Banxia is mostly used to reduce inversion and stop nausea; Fabanxia is mostly used for dampness and phlegm.

After Li Banxia was born, one day, her grandfather was sitting in the courtyard, holding a Banxia. Li's father asked him what name he should give her when his children were born.

Grandpa thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't name it.

At a glance, I saw the lush Banxia in my hand, and the calloused fingers flicked lightly, and said with a kind smile: "Yes, it's called Grandchild Banxia!" ”

So, Li Banxia had the name Banxia.

On Li Banxia's fifth birthday, her grandfather took her to plant Banxia in front of the house and behind the house. It was on that day that she was given her first lesson in medicine.

Semi-summer has strong fecundity, can tolerate cold, does not tolerate drought, avoids scorching sun exposure, and likes a warm and humid environment. It grows in sandy soil, and the front stubble is suitable for leguminous and corn, and it is avoided to clay heavy soil.

In a blink of an eye, Li Banxia has been in Dayang Village for almost a month, and in addition to Zhang Luo's family's three meals a day, washing clothes and tidying up the room, he is also happy and relaxed. Only when the farm is busy, help go to the fields, hand things and pull grass, and so on. Life is hard, but it is also very leisurely.

Liu Dongshan is a person who can hurt people, in his mother's local saying: As long as he can move, he will never call others. He likes to do everything himself, and he doesn't like to ask women and children to do things.

I went out early every morning and didn't come back until dark. The fields of a family of ten people all depend on him and his uncle Zhang Luo, and they don't need to think about it to know how heavy the burden is.

Compared with Li Banxia, she feels that she has become a wife who will not feel sorry for her husband. The younger sister Xia Shanxiang thinks about eating like this and eating like that for her uncle every day, and if there are any good things at home, she will be the first to move them over and say that they will be kept for your uncle. When he was busy eating, he was busy with vegetables, soup and water for him, and kept asking him to eat more and eat more.

It's no wonder that my mother is satisfied with her younger siblings everywhere, and she feels that something is wrong with her.

Li Banxia's temperament is cold, especially when he gets along with living people, he talks even less. Coupled with this unusually strong bad breath, it made her feel inferior. It's an exaggeration to say that you have low self-esteem, but it's true that you don't want to annoy people.

After she arrived here, she also thought of some solutions to her own problems. The preliminary diagnosis of the peculiar smell in her mouth is related to the heat of the spleen and stomach, and if the root cause is treated, she needs to be prescribed the right medicine, and the effect is slow.

Until then, it's not that nothing can be done. In order to alleviate the taste in his mouth, Li Banxia made a tea bag for himself with Huang's, lotus leaves, mulberry leaves, cassia seeds, coptis, chrysanthemums, and honeysuckle. Brew tea quotes to help freshen the breath in your mouth.

However, due to the lack of multi-flavored medicinal materials, and the fact that the mother paid close attention to her every move, the effect was not obvious. In desperation, Li Banxia started the road of taboo in order not to want the taste in his mouth to become more and more intense, and regained the good habit of "brushing his teeth in the morning and evening, and rinsing his mouth after meals".

Speaking of this, Li Banxia remembered an incident that happened two days ago. That day, I don't know who provoked Ma's, and he has been very angry since he came back. Seeing her make a cup and rinse her mouth outside after eating, she frowned irritably, and she couldn't stand it after watching it for a while, so she walked into the house with her back and said coolly: "I've never seen a girl like you, who brushes her teeth twice a day and rinses her mouth seven or eight times ten times." Don't pay for salt, don't pick water, how expensive it is! ”

Li Banxia's movements paused, flashed, spit out the water in his mouth, and went back to the house.

If she doesn't let her brush her teeth and rinse her mouth, then she can't say anything about her own taboo, right?

If you want to freshen your breath and eliminate the meaning, you should not eat starchy foods such as sugar and biscuits before going to bed. Li Banxia doesn't have to worry about this, he can't eat even if he wants to.

It is advisable to eat more foods that clear the stomach and liver, such as pumpkin, watermelon, water chestnut, celery, radish, etc. Watermelons are scarce, and Ganoderma lucidum loves to eat, so it is impossible for her to grab food with a child. Water chestnuts are eaten in winter and spring, and they are not yet in season. She didn't eat celery, and the rest of the choice was pumpkin and radish.

With Ma's permission, vegetarian fried shredded radish became the most common dish on the Liu family's dinner table with various potatoes, such as fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, potato chips, shredded potatoes, and potato egg soup.

What discouraged Li Banxia was that after more than ten days of taboo and hard work, he was so hungry that the taste in his mouth had not diminished a bit, and he didn't know what was wrong. It is likely that the time is too short, and the effect is mild, perhaps due to a constraint. If she wants to further resolve the bad breath that even she can't stand herself, she can only wait for the relaxation at hand or the conditions permit, and treat it with medication.

In the past two days, she came up with a medicine and developed it into a powder to take. To clear the stomach fire, it is advisable to use the stomach to disperse. Coptis chinensis, cimicifuga, raw land, danpi, gypsum, angelica, grind into powder, and take with water.

After living in Dayang Village for almost a month, Li Banxia took the opportunity to go up and down the fields, and also observed the surrounding and nearby mountains. To her ecstature, this little-known small mountain village is still a miscellaneous Chinese medicine shop. In addition to the common Chinese medicine plants, there are many rare and rare medicinal materials. Such as cat's claw grass, stone calamus, wild spirit seed and so on. There were many others she had seen and couldn't name at once.

Because of this, Li Banxia has a good impression of this place. It doesn't matter if the rest is that she can take materials nearby and delve into pharmacology, she will be very happy. In the past, due to the limitations of her location, she had never seen many medicinal herbs in person, let alone observed their growth. Some listened to their grandfather, and some simply took shriveled Chinese medicine to explain to her the efficacy and usage, taboos and dosage.

Paying attention to this, Li Banxia was the first to think of his bad breath.

Every time he had free time, Li Banxia would carry the medicine basket up the mountain to find the medicinal herbs he liked.

Angelica sinensis and cimicifuga have been found successively, and there are still a few flavors left, which are still in progress.

Li Banxia's side was in full swing, and everyone else didn't know what she was tossing around. The things under her name have been done again, and Ma Shi can't say anything more, so she has to "toss poorly".

That's how Li Banxia began her long and interesting ancient medical practice-
