Flower King - Peony

Peony is known as "the most beautiful flower in the world" and "the king of flowers". In late spring and early summer, the flowers bloom at the top, colorful and elegant, and have been praised by literati and poets of all ages. In addition to its ornamental value, the flowers and bark of peony also have medicinal value. Peony flowers have the effect of regulating menstruation and promoting blood circulation. For symptoms such as irregular menstruation and abdominal pain during menstruation, you can use peony flowers and safflower to boil water and drink it. It can also be used for those with abdominal pain during menstruation caused by blood stasis. In addition, use peony flowers, tonka bean, and nard in a ratio of 10:1:1, grind them into fine powder, put them into a gauze bag, and store them in a cloth bag. It has the effect of fumigating the body. Brewing peony flowers into wine is a high-end nourishing beverage, which has the effect of improving eyesight and refreshing the brain if consumed for a long time. In fact, the main medicinal part of peony is the root bark, called "Danpi". It has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood. It can be used to clear away heat and as an auxiliary treatment for hypertension.

Jasmine, the crown of fragrant flowers

I remember a song that goes: "What a beautiful jasmine flower, what a beautiful jasmine flower, no flower in the garden is more fragrant than it..." Young girls often pin this flower in their hair or adorn their chests to add fragrance and charm. Jasmine is a treasure from head to toe. The scented tea smoked with it is a famous tea garden treasure both at home and abroad. Refined jasmine oil is a high-end spice for food and cosmetics. Jasmine itself regulates the body's qi and has the functions of relieving depression, avoiding filth and detoxifying. Use jasmine flowers, green tea, patchouli leaves, and lotus leaves, brew them with boiling water and drink them as tea, which has the effect of clearing away heat and stimulating appetite. In addition, it can also be used for conjunctivitis, sores and other diseases.

Rose, the symbol of love

Every year on February 14th, people in love will never forget this special holiday - Valentine's Day. Gentlemen often express their love to the Venus in their hearts with roses. This Western festival is gradually becoming popular in our country. In fact, roses are native to my country. Rose has the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain. It can be used to treat diseases such as irregular menstruation and leucorrhea. Soak rose flowers in hair oil and apply it to your hair every day. It is effective for dandruff and other diseases. Soak rose, safflower and angelica in white wine and drink it in moderation, which has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on rheumatic pain.

The poet's aspirations - chrysanthemum

“When the Double Ninth Festival comes, I will come back to enjoy the chrysanthemums.” Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the sight of them evokes love. Opinions vary. Li Qingzhao's "Don't say it's not heartbreaking, the curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and I am thinner than the yellow flowers (chrysanthemums)" expresses a kind of sadness, while Tao Yuanming's "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains" expresses a rare kind of leisure. The cultivation of chrysanthemum has a long history in my country and there are many varieties. Chinese medical scientists of all dynasties have regarded chrysanthemum as the best medicine. It has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, improving eyesight and detoxifying, and can be used for hypertension, colds, headaches and other symptoms. Brew chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, hawthorn slices and mulberry leaves in boiling water and drink it frequently instead of tea, which has a preventive and therapeutic effect on atherosclerosis. Take equal parts of chrysanthemum, black sesame and Poria cocos, grind them into powder, make them into honey pills, and long-term use will have a certain effect on gray hair. Chrysanthemum wine and Guiyuanqiju wine, which are made with chrysanthemum as the main medicine, are both nourishing and health-preserving products.

Aloe Vera - the universal herb

Nature gave birth to human beings and also prepared the most magical medicinal plant for human health and beauty - aloe vera. Aloe vera juice is a natural extract that contains a variety of moisturizers and nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. Analysis shows that aloe vera contains 75 elements that are almost completely consistent with the substances required by human cells. It contains 7 of the 8 essential amino acids for the human body, as well as the hydration products of polysaccharides such as glucose, mannose, a small amount of glycophenolic acid and calcium. In addition, it also contains a small amount of hydrated protease, biological hormones, saponin, hormones, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and some other trace elements. It is a treasure for beauty and skin care. Therefore, it is known as the "universal herb that protects health". The most authoritative "Chinese Materia Medica" in my country summarizes its pharmacological effects as: skin protection, tissue damage repair; laxative, liver protection and anti-gastric damage effects; antibacterial and anti-tumor effects; and immune regulation.

Aloe vera has long been a natural skin care and beauty product, and the story of Cleopatra, the ancient Egyptian queen, using aloe vera for beauty is widely circulated. In Japan, the use of aloe vera for beauty is almost known to every household, and 80% of cosmetics in the European and American markets contain natural extracts. Women in Fujian, Yunnan and other places in my country have had the traditional custom of using aloe vera for beauty since ancient times.
Acupressure and massage are beauty methods for aloe vera face. Bathing in the bathtub with aloe vera juice can be said to be one of the best whole body beauty methods. Aloe vera ingredients penetrate into the body through water, making blood circulation smooth throughout the body. At the same time, it can eliminate internal organ diseases, make the muscles of the whole body shiny, and the skin looks like new life.
