1. The weight loss effect of lotus leaf ash
Lotus leaf ash is a traditional Chinese medicine that mainly promotes digestion, aids in weight loss, and removes phlegm and dampness. It has a strong effect on weight loss and can help slim the waist. The lotus leaf has the functions of clearing heat, eliminating dampness, promoting hair growth, and clearing yang. It is good at draining dampness, reducing swelling, and lowering fat, especially for patients with stubborn obesity. The weight loss principles of lotus leaf ash mainly include:
1. Lotus leaf ash can remove phlegm and dampness
Phlegm and dampness are important concepts in traditional Chinese medicine, and in fact, traditional Chinese medicine believes that phlegm and dampness are the main causes of obesity. Therefore, the first step in weight loss is to remove phlegm and dampness.
2. Lotus leaf ash can naturally adjust your diet structure
Some experts believe that after drinking lotus leaf ash for a period of time, you will naturally no longer like to eat greasy food, and your appetite will also decrease.
2. Rice soup and lotus leaf ash, the combination of both
In fact, the use of lotus leaf ash for weight loss has been popular since the Song Dynasty. However, at that time, it was not used for weight loss, but for feigning illness, because taking lotus leaf ash would make the body become thin. When someone read it in the historical records, they started to use it. In traditional Chinese medicine, lotus leaf ash is called "duan he ye". When we buy it, we can also call it "duan he ye".
Lotus leaf, as a traditional Chinese medicine, is now recognized and accepted by the public, so the trend of using rice soup and lotus leaf ash for weight loss has emerged. So why add rice soup? First of all, it is difficult to eat lotus leaf ash directly, and the fat content of rice soup is basically zero, so the combination of the two can achieve a weight loss effect, and there will be no rebound after successful weight loss.
The original text of lotus leaf ash in "Zheng Zhi Yao Jue" is: "Use burned lotus leaf to make ash, grind it into powder, mix it with rice soup, and take it to show a slim figure." Lotus leaf ash is burned lotus leaf. Burning lotus leaf is one of the methods of processing Chinese medicine. It means burning the medicine until the outer part is charred and the inside is golden brown, so that the surface of the medicine is carbonized while the inner part can still emit the original smell, which is called "storage property".
3. Precautions for lotus leaf ash
Special attention: Authentic lotus leaf ash is dark yellow in color.
What we call lotus leaf ash is not directly burning the lotus leaf into ash, which is a wrong way of making it. The lotus leaf ash made in this way has completely lost its residual ingredients and becomes a carcinogenic substance. Therefore, we should not try to make it ourselves. It is best to buy it from a traditional Chinese medicine store, because this kind of lotus leaf ash can at least guarantee that it is not carcinogenic. Don't end up with not losing weight successfully and instead getting a bunch of diseases.
Also, the production method of lotus leaf ash is quite complicated, and it requires many tools. We don't know if it is successful in the end, so it is not recommended for everyone to make it themselves.
