Farmers Are Prone to Illnesses
Etiology: Farmers work hardest, with heavy labor daily, often experiencing hunger. They frequently endure hunger until mealtime, depleting their blood and energy reserves. Over time, they commonly develop gastric diseases, back pain, and numbness in hands and feet. Fortunately, there are established cures.
Spring
Formula: (1) Morning: Farmers going to work can carry a 1-foot-long sugarcane to eat when hungry.
(2) Afternoon: Carry a 1-foot-long sugarcane to eat around 4 PM, providing nourishment and preventing gastric discomfort.
(3) Before bedtime: Eat some dried longan to prevent gastric pain and bone ache.
Summer
Etiology: Summer is the hardest season for farmers. Hot weather makes eating difficult, and labor is intense. At this time, nature provides special items to relieve fatigue.
1. During Lychee Season
Formula: (1) Eat 10 lychees at 10 AM to replenish blood.
(2) Eat 8 lychees at 4 PM to satisfy hunger and replenish blood.
(3) Drink 1 cup of lychee seed tea before bedtime to eliminate bone ache. Preparation: Crush 18 lychee seeds, add 3 bowls of water, boil for 10 minutes, add sugar, making "Lychee Seed Tea." Only consume 1 bowl; excessive intake is ineffective.

Winter Season
In winter, farmers must focus on tonification. Numerous nutritious foods are naturally abundant, valuable yet unknown to many. Hua Tuo knew the secret prescriptions.
Formula: (1) Wash sweet potato (red yam), cut into slices without peeling, avoid flour contact. Heat peanut oil first, do not add ginger slices—adding ginger renders it ineffective. Once oil is hot, fry sweet potato slices until heated, consume 5 pieces at once. Excessive consumption is counterproductive.
Note: This formula must be consumed before bedtime to effectively tonify qi and blood, treat bone ache.
(2) Wash red (carrot) radish, cut into slices (do not peel), heat peanut oil until smoking, then add radish slices, fry until heated, consume 10 pieces at once. Excessive consumption is ineffective.
Note: This formula must also be taken before bedtime to promote qi and blood circulation, suitable for those suffering from chronic bone ache.<Secret Formula>
