Ze Xie is a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine that can be used to treat various diseases in humans. It not only has the effect of clearing heat and promoting blood circulation, but also can relieve summer heat when consumed in summer. Here are several methods for preparing Ze Xie!


【Methods for preparing Ze Xie】

Remove the stems, leaves, and root hairs, wash them clean, dry them with low heat, and then remove the root hairs and rough skin.

1. Ze Xie: Remove impurities, sort by size, soak in water until 80% transparent, drain, sun-dry, and then moisten until the internal and external humidity is even. Slice and air-dry.

2. Bran preparation: Take bran, sprinkle it into a pot, wait for smoke to rise, add Ze Xie slices, stir-fry until yellow, remove, sift out the bran and let it cool. For every 100kg of Ze Xie slices, use 10kg of bran.

3. Salted bran preparation: Take Ze Xie slices, moisten them with salt, sun-dry, then add honey-prepared bran, and prepare them according to the bran frying method. For every 500kg of Ze Xie, use 6kg of salt and 60kg of wheat bran. Add appropriate amount of water.

4. Wine preparation: Add Ze Xie slices to a hot pan at 100 degrees, stir-fry several times, spray evenly with wine, stir-fry until dry, and then take out and let it cool. For every 100kg of Ze Xie, use 5kg of wine.

5. Salted Ze Xie: Take Ze Xie slices, sprinkle them with salt water and mix well, let them sit for a while to moisten, put them in a pot, stir-fry over low heat until the surface turns slightly yellow, and then air-dry. (For every 100 catties of Ze Xie slices, use 2 catties 8 taels of salt, dissolve it in appropriate amount of water until clear)


【Dosage and usage of Ze Xie】

Ze Xie has the functions of promoting urination, clearing dampness and heat. It can be used for urinary tract obstruction, edema, diarrhea with reduced urine, phlegm-dampness dizziness, and hot and painful urination. It can be used in decoction with a dosage of 5-10 grams. It also has the effects of reducing blood lipids, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-fatty liver.

Because Ze Xie itself has the effects of lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood lipids, for middle-aged and elderly people, appropriately using Ze Xie to make decoction can not only clear dampness and heat, promote urination, but also control the rise of cholesterol in the body.

If it is used for invigorating the spleen, resolving phlegm, clearing dampness, and reducing lipids, you can choose 30 grams of Ze Xie, 10 grams each of Ban Xia, Ju Hong, Shan Yao, Bai Zhu, Shan Zha, and Gou Qi Zi, 15 grams each of Yi Ren, He Shou Wu, and Che Qian Cao. Boil them in water and take the decoction twice a day.

After improvement, you can continue to use 15 grams each of Ze Xie, Che Qian Cao, and Sheng Shou Wu, 12 grams each of Shan Zha and Gou Qi Zi, boil them in water and drink it like tea, drink it frequently every day, and persist in taking it for 3 months to achieve good results.
