The benefits and effects of Tianshan snow lotus and how to consume it correctly
Tianshan snow lotus is a succulent plant. Although it is often heard of, it is also relatively rare. Next, let us take a look at the benefits and effects of Tianshan snow lotus.
Snow lotus contains protein, amino acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and more. It has effects such as promoting menstruation and blood circulation, dispelling cold and removing dampness, stopping bleeding and reducing swelling, and eliminating toxins from the body. The vitamin C contained in snow lotus can soften blood vessels, prevent aging, remove wrinkles and lipid accumulation, and improve microcirculation. It makes the skin lustrous, can block the process of chemicals causing cancer, and achieves the goals of preventing, fighting, and treating cancer, as well as prolonging life.
Tianshan snow lotus is also a very unique plant that only grows on the cliffs of the high-cold moraine zones near the snow line of the northern and southern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, the Altai Mountains, and the Kunlun Mountains, and its yield is extremely low. Snow lotus takes five years from germination to flowering. Its seeds germinate at 0°C and grow at 3 to 5°C. The seedlings can withstand low temperatures of minus 21°C, yet the actual growth period is less than two months. In just this short growth period, relying on its vigorous vitality, the snow lotus plant can exceed other plants in height by five to seven times.
"Ashamed to keep company with ordinary grasses, how gracefully it stands alone in fragrance! Why is it not appreciated by people, left in deep mountains and remote valleys to endure the severe frost?" More than a thousand years ago, frontier poets of the Tang Dynasty once sang of snow lotus in this way. Snow lotus, also called snow lotus flower, has the effect of promoting menstruation and blood circulation. Due to its special growing environment, snow lotus takes three to five years to bloom and bear fruit, and it has long been a precious Chinese medicinal herb that is difficult to cultivate artificially.
