Calming and nourishing recipe

1. Lily Glutinous Rice Porridge

30 grams of fresh lily, 50 grams of glutinous rice, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Peel the lily bulbs into petals, wash them, and cook the glutinous rice into porridge as usual. When the rice is almost cooked, add the eight lilies and cook until the porridge is done. Add rock sugar for seasoning. If there are no fresh lilies, you can use 10 grams of dried lilies instead and cook them directly with the rice into porridge.

Take twice a day, warm in the morning and evening. Lily has been used as a tonic since ancient times and can be used as both food and medicine. "Shennong's Herbal Classic" lists it as a top-grade product.

It is sweet and mild in nature, and has the effects of nourishing the middle and moistening the lungs, clearing the heart and calming the mind.

2. Jujube and Scallion Drink

20 jujubes and 10 grams of green onion. Wash the jujube, split it, and boil it with the scallion in eight pots. Add water and boil it for 15-20 minutes. Remove the jujube from the pot, filter the soup, and drink it once a night while warm.

Jujubes are sweet and moist, good at strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, nourishing blood and calming the mind. They are often used to treat symptoms such as palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, and deficiency of the heart and spleen.

Scallion white is the bulb near the root of the allium of the Liliaceae family, also known as scallion white head. Pungent, warm and dispersing, promoting the flow of Yang Qi upward and downward. There is another meaning behind the use of scallion whites in this recipe. Jujubes are moist and nourishing, and the addition of scallion whites has a pungent and dispersing effect, which can enable the jujubes to exert their tonic effects without contributing to dampness and heat, which would make people feel full and stuffy.

This drink replenishes the middle and replenishes Qi, nourishes the blood and soothes the mind. It is suitable for people who suffer from deficiency of both heart and spleen, palpitations, fatigue, poor appetite, tiredness, and insomnia.

Be more open-minded and don't complain about the world. Keeping a good mood is the proof that you are living better and better.
