Sand参粥
Recipe composition: 15–30 grams of Adenophora stricta, 1–2 liang (about 50–100 grams) of glutinous rice, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.
Therapeutic effects: Moistens lungs, nourishes stomach, removes phlegm, and relieves cough. Suitable for lung heat and dryness, dry cough with little phlegm, or chronic cough due to lung qi deficiency and yin deficiency in the lungs and stomach, accompanied by dry throat, or thirst after febrile illness due to fluid depletion.
Cooking method: First boil 15–30 grams of Adenophora stricta to extract juice, remove residue, then add glutinous rice to cook porridge. When the porridge is nearly done, stir in rock sugar and continue cooking until thin and smooth. Alternatively, use fresh Adenophora stricta (30–60 grams), wash and slice, then extract concentrated juice and combine with glutinous rice and rock sugar to cook porridge.
Precautions: This porridge can be taken continuously for 3–5 days as a course of treatment. The porridge should be cooked thin rather than thick. Avoid consumption in cases of wind-cold common cold with cough.
