🌿 Folk Prescriptions

In various dessert soups, fresh fruits are commonly used, adding vibrant colors and health benefits. It's evident that many fruits and vegetables are highly nutritious, and when combined with herbs like southern and northern apricot kernels, Fritillaria, snow fungus, and figs, their nourishing effects are enhanced.
Hot Mango Coconut Black Glutinous Rice
Mango has a sweet-sour taste and is slightly cooling, containing vitamin C and mangiferin, which benefit digestion, quench thirst, relieve nausea and dizziness, and promote urination. Choose mangoes that are uniformly sized, plump, and yellow-white. Dried mango pits can detoxify, aid digestion, and relieve cough.
Hot consumption warms the stomach and benefits blood and qi. The sweet, refreshing taste of mango paired with rich coconut aroma and blood-warming black glutinous rice creates a chewy, satisfying texture. Since mango flesh is prone to dampness, when preparing this dessert, first boil the dried mango pit to extract broth, discard it, then add black glutinous rice and cook until soft. Only then add mango flesh and finally pour in coconut milk—this ensures greater health benefits.
Green Apple and Aloe Vera Stew
Aloe vera is famed for its beauty benefits. Combined with green apples, this stew is moisturizing, sweet, and refreshing, offering benefits such as tonifying the middle energizer, generating body fluids, strengthening the stomach, beautifying skin, and clearing liver heat. A comforting bowl brings comfort to heart and lungs. Due to a slight bitterness in aloe juice, those sensitive to bitter tastes can use less (2–3 grams).
Green apples contain carbohydrates, malic acid, citric acid, beta-carotene, vitamins B and C. Malic acid stabilizes blood sugar; vitamin C prevents myocarditis. Green apples nourish the heart, generate fluids, quench thirst, strengthen the stomach, and stop diarrhea. Additionally, apples aid in weight loss—obese individuals eating more apples can reduce intake of other foods, achieving weight loss results.
Fig, Southern & Northern Apricot Kernel, and Apple Stew
Figs have a naturally sweet taste, complementing the sweetness of apples, resulting in a gentle, natural sweetness. Figs clear the intestines and moisten the throat and lungs. Drinking a bowl during hot weather helps relieve constipation and reduce internal heat.
Fritillaria Snow Fungus Stewed Papaya
Papaya has a sweet taste and neutral nature. Its fruit contains papain, papaya proteinase, rennin, and beta-carotene, used to treat vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rheumatic joint pain, and lower back and knee soreness. Choose firm papayas with a pleasant fragrance.
The sweet, tender taste of papaya pairs beautifully with crisp snow fungus, enhanced by Fritillaria (3 grams), which helps dissolve phlegm, relieve cough, and moisten the lungs—resulting in a refreshing, irresistible flavor.
Fresh Milk Stewed Papaya and Pear
First, heat fresh milk with sugar, then add cubed papaya and pear (seed and skin removed), cook for 30 minutes. Fresh milk plus papaya delivers dual whitening effects, paired with the heart-soothing pear—truly beautiful inside and out.
Raw Papaya, Southern & Northern Apricot Kernels, and Snow Fungus Stew
This stew uses fresh papaya, southern and northern apricot kernels, and snow fungus. Papaya aids digestion and fights bacteria and heat; southern and northern apricot kernels relieve cough and moisten lungs; snow fungus nourishes yin, moistens lungs, and generates body fluids. The soup is sweet and fragrant, equally delicious hot or cold. Do not use excessive southern and northern apricot kernels—around 10–15 grams is ideal. Snow fungus should be large, thick, intact, yellow-white, and glossy.
Pears have a sweet taste and are slightly cold in nature, containing malic acid, citric acid, vitamins B1, B2, C, and beta-carotene, with functions of generating body fluids, moistening dryness, clearing heat, and resolving phlegm.
Snow Frog and Soybean Soup Balls
Combining the kidney-tonifying, essence-nourishing snow frog paste with soy milk to make sesame soup balls, filled with pear pieces, yields a fragrant, chewy treat. Highly effective for post-illness or postpartum weakness, or for those suffering from forgetfulness due to overwork.
Sea Coconut Stewed Pear
Sea coconut is renowned for its throat-moistening properties. Paired with sweet pears, it effectively relieves cough and phlegm—ideal for smokers!
Raw Pear, Southern & Northern Apricot Kernels, and Snow Fungus Stew
The main ingredient is still snow fungus, but the secondary ingredient is replaced with pear, making the entire stew even more refreshing, generating body fluids, quenching thirst, clearing internal heat. Excellent for calming mental agitation and reducing heart fire.
