This invention discloses a medicinal and edible composition that clears heat from the upper body and warms the
lower body, and its preparation method. This invention relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine technology. The medicinal and edible composition is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight:
Gardenia 4-8 parts, Chrysanthemum 4-8 parts,
Oyster shell 6-10 parts, Cinnamon 8-12 parts, Dried ginger 10-14 parts,
Eucommia ulmoides 8-12 parts, Poria cocos 6-10 parts, Malt 3-7 parts,
Tangerine peel 3-7 parts, Hawthorn 3-7 parts, Fried radish seed 3-7 parts,
Coix seed 6-10 parts, and
Codonopsis pilosula 6-10 parts.
Gardenia and chrysanthemum clear away the deficiency heat in the upper burner, while cinnamon and dried ginger warm and tonify the deficiency cold in the lower burner. Combined with Poria, malt,
tangerine peel, hawthorn, stir-fried radish seed,
coix seed, and
codonopsis to strengthen the middle burner and restore the ascending and descending balance, this formula achieves a comprehensive conditioning effect that balances cold and heat, and combines
attack and tonification. It avoids the drawbacks of simply clearing heat, which may worsen the lower cold, or simply warming and tonifying, which may aggravate the upper heat. At the same time, the
small molecule extraction technology significantly improves the
dissolution rate and
bioavailability of active ingredients such as geniposide,
cinnamaldehyde, and
gingerol compared to traditional decoction, resulting in faster
onset of action.
