Nowadays people's living conditions are getting better and better, and many families like to place some flowers and plants in their homes, which are not only beautiful but also cultivate the mind. And many flowers can not only be enjoyed for their beauty, but also be used as medicine! Here, Xiaonong will introduce a few common flowers. These flowers can not only be eaten, but also be used as medicine.
1. Rose
I believe women who love beauty must be familiar with roses. The rose is not only a symbol of love, but its fragrance is also very delicate, making it very suitable for growing. Rose petals are edible. Because of their unique fragrance, rose petals can be made into rose jam, and then the jam can be added to food, which is very delicious. In addition, roses also have medicinal value. Roses have the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and dissolving blood stasis, and regulating menstruation and relieving pain. So it is actually a very good choice for women to drink some rose tea regularly.
2. Lotus
Chinese people have always loved the lotus, and there are many poems praising it. Lotus can be eaten, and many friends probably know this. Especially in southern regions, the habit of eating lotus has a long history. Lotus can be cooked into porridge, and can also be coated in batter and deep-fried, both of which are very delicious. In addition, lotus can also be used as medicine. Lotus has the medicinal values of removing dampness and dispelling wind, clearing the heart and cooling the blood, and relieving heat and detoxifying.
3. Sophora flower
A while ago, it was the season when sophora flowers were in full bloom, and I believe many friends have already gone to pick them. When I was little, I often went to pick sophora flowers around May. Eaten raw, they have a sweet taste, and when steamed they also have the unique fresh fragrance of sophora flowers. My mother sometimes dried the sophora flowers and then used them as dried vegetables in winter to make stuffed buns and dumplings. In fact, sophora flowers also have medicinal value. Sophora flowers have the effects of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, clearing the liver and reducing fire, and fighting inflammation. They can also be used as medicine.
4. Daylily
When eating hot pot, I especially like to add some daylily, as it is very chewy. Before, I only knew that daylily was especially delicious and belonged to the category of dried vegetables. Later I learned that daylily is also especially beautiful. Daylily is actually a kind of Hemerocallis, also called forget-sorrow grass. In any case, it is quite famous. In fact, daylily also has medicinal value. Daylily has the effects of clearing heat and promoting urination, detoxifying and reducing swelling, stopping bleeding and relieving irritability, nourishing blood and calming the liver, and promoting water metabolism and lactation. It can be said that its medicinal value is still very great.
