Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 29 Herbal Medicine
There are many kinds of traditional Chinese medicine formulas for treating fever, but considering that the prescriptions are readily available but the medicinal materials are not, you have to find them yourself.Coupled with the special nature of desert islands, many medicines may not be available.

Therefore, Wen Xian chose a simple recipe to prepare.

She planned to use three kinds of roots: kudzu root, reed root and Imperata cognac to make soup to make three root soup.It is mainly used to treat exogenous fever and internal heat.

Kudzu root is the root of kudzu and kudzu vine.It is sweet in taste, cold in nature, and enters the stomach meridian.It has the effects of relieving heat and relieving annoyance, producing body fluids and quenching thirst.

Pueraria lobata is suitable for harvesting in autumn and winter and cut into thick or small slices while fresh.Remove impurities, wash, moisturize, dry, and store in a ventilated and dry place.

Reed root, as the name suggests, is the root of the reed.

Reeds grow in rivers, lakes, ponds, ditches and low-lying areas.Sweet in taste and cold in nature, it returns to the lung meridian and stomach meridian. It can clear away heat and promote fluid production, relieve restlessness, relieve vomiting and diuresis.

It is often used for febrile diseases with polydipsia, stomach heat vomiting, lung heat cough, lung abscess and pus vomiting, and hot stranguria and astringent pain.

Reed root not only reduces fever, but also treats vomiting.Especially with Jiang Jingwan, a pregnant woman, in case of morning sickness or something, it is very effective to stock up and prescribe the right medicine.

Imperata cogongrass root is the rhizome of Imperata cogongrass.It is sweet in taste and cold in nature, and has the effects of cooling and stopping bleeding, clearing away heat and diuresis, and clearing away heat in the lungs and stomach.

It is used to treat febrile diseases such as polydipsia, vomiting blood, epistaxis, lung heat, dyspnea, dysuria, edema, jaundice, etc.

Reed root and Imperata cognac root are mainly used to reduce fever, while kudzu root is mainly used to increase clearing and exfoliate. One rise and one fall, forming a cycle, can be used to reduce fever.

Fever is often caused by the blockage of internal and external qi flow, as well as the blockage of upper and lower qi flow.

The three-gen decoction happens to be able to guide heat evil out of the urine from top to bottom.

Therefore, as long as the person does not have an obvious cold constitution, Sangen Decoction can be used to treat various types of unexplained fevers.

Reed roots and Imperata cogongrass roots are easy to find and can be found in the woods. Wen Xian has seen them before.It’s just that kudzu root is hard to find. I didn’t see it all the way in.

But what the wild boar arched up was exactly the kudzu root, and it was a large mature kudzu root.

Logically speaking, kudzu should be harvested in August or September.But when she thought about the various situations on the island that were different from her previous life, Wen Xian quickly felt relieved.

Pueraria lobata is hard to find, but it is readily available now. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, it is reasonable if it exists.

It was precisely because it was difficult to find that Wen Xian was so anxious to jump off the tree to collect it.

The straw basket could not hold such a large piece of kudzu root, so she gave this task to Xia Zhi, letting Xia Zhi hold the pieces of kudzu root alone.

She herself digs wild vegetables and mushrooms while walking. When she sees suitable Chinese medicinal materials, such as dandelions, she will pick some.

Not only that, every time she picked a wild vegetable or medicinal material, she would dig up some of the roots.I plan to take it back first and then open a vegetable patch outside the cave to plant it.

In this way, over time, a little becomes a lot. When the wild vegetables and medicinal herbs outside the cave grow, they will no longer have to risk going into the mountains.

Xia Zhi hugged Ge Gen tightly and followed Wen Xian. She was always calm, but now her eyes were a little panicked.

She was worried that the wild boar or other wild beasts would attack again, so she looked around as she walked.

She always found surprises and surprises when she looked around. She glanced at something and looked again and again.

Finally, he raised his slender fingers with wide eyes and said: "Madam, there, look over there."

"Huh?" Wen Xian looked in the direction of her finger, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Xia Zhi and ran away, "It's fungus. Come on, let's go take a look."

It is normal for fungus to appear in the unexplored mountain forests, but it is a surprise to find it.

Especially after it rained, these fresh fungus look even more delicate.After confirming that the fungus were non-toxic, Wen Xian put down the straw basket and started picking.

The ancients do not deceive me. If you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains, if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea. As long as you work hard, you will never starve to death.

No, it's from the sea or the mountains.These weak women can still survive on these.

Wen Xian was so enthusiastic about picking the fungus, but Xia Zhi was neither holding the kudzu root nor letting it go.

Wen Xian said quickly: "This is not far from the cave. You first take the kudzu and the straw basket back, put the things away, and then bring back the empty straw basket. I will pick them first and wait for you."

She thought for a while and then told her: "If you encounter any special situation, don't worry about these things. Just run or climb a tree by yourself. If the things are gone, you can look for them again. If the people are gone, they are really gone."

Although this place is only about 20 meters away from the woods outside the cave, no one can guarantee that no accident will happen.

Xia Zhi looked tangled, but finally nodded and agreed: "Be careful, madam, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the cave. She only had one belief in her heart, that she should go back early and not leave her alone.

Looking at Xia Zhi's back, Wen Xian raised her lips and smiled. After Xia Zhi's back disappeared, she turned around and continued picking the fungus.

The fungus can be stored for a long time when dried. She plans to pick both the fungus from these two thick trees.

People who have plenty of food at home don’t panic. It’s better to be prepared than not.

Maybe God understood that she was frightened by the wild boar, and her luck was so good at the moment.

Only halfway through picking the fungus, she discovered that there was a clump of taro behind the tree.

Taro!
Between the filling taro and ordinary fungus, Wen Xian decisively chose the filling taro.

Taro, with or without side dishes, can be used as a staple food and can make you full.

But without staple food, no matter how many dishes you eat, you will feel empty inside. You will always feel that you are not full, and you will always want to eat.

If she had to choose one, Wen Xian would rather just have taro.

Not sure how deep the taro was buried, Wen Xian was worried that the dagger would cut the taro, so she simply dug it with her hands.

It had just rained and the soil was loose, making it easy to dig.After a few digs, I saw traces of taro.

Excitement and urgency flashed in Wen Xian's eyes, and she dug around again. When she was almost done, she grabbed the root above and lifted it up, and all the taro in the soil was pulled out.

Just in time to see Xia Zhi coming back with an empty straw basket, she quickly waved and said: "Come on, good stuff."

Xia Zhi was followed by Zhou Hui, who was also holding a straw basket in her hand. She must have followed her previous steps.

"Fourth is here too, just in time. I'm still worried that I can't get the taro back." Wen Xian shook the things in her hands and gestured, "This is called taro. It can be used as dry food. Let's try to dig up all the taro here." Go back and have enough to eat for several days."

She shook off the mud, peeled off all the taros, and put them one by one into the straw basket.

Xia Zhi quickly took the straw basket and picked it up, and asked by the way: "What about the fungus, madam, do you want more?"

Although she didn't know why Wen Xian called cloud fungus fungus, Wen Xian was well-informed and could not make a mistake.

Fungus is a rare thing, and it was rare to eat it in the palace in the past.
