As spring is the season when the energy of all things rises, it is also the time when people start taking care of their health by supplementing the energy they consumed throughout the year. In particular, it is also an effective way to supplement the energy with a healthy diet containing spring energy.
In response, we introduce five spring greens that can take care of both health and taste during the spring season 'Oxinban(Five 辛盤)'. Osinban refers to five vegetables eaten in early spring or early spring. Since ancient times, it has been said that the royal court offered 'Ipchun Oh Shin-ban' to the king every day of spring.
The types of herbs included in the Oshinban vary slightly depending on the time and region, but they originated from the custom of wishing for good health and good luck for the year in common. The oriental and nutritional effects of spring greens that revitalize this year were summarized with the help of Hong Soon-sung, director of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital.
◇ Dallae: Helps blood circulation and prevents hypertension
First of all, soothing 'Dongui Bogam' means 'Garlic growing in the mountains' and is referred to as 'Oxygen (蒜)'. It is named because it has a pungent spicy taste, aroma, and shape similar to garlic. In particular, it contains 'alicin' that gives off a unique spicy taste, which is effective in preventing cardiovascular disease by helping blood circulation.
It also lowers cholesterol levels and helps prevent arteriosclerosis and hypertension. It is also rich in vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and prevents respiratory diseases. However, people with a lot of fever or inflammatory diseases should avoid excessive intake. This is because the warm nature of soothing is likely to worsen the symptoms.
◇cress: Special for eye health…It also has a high hemostatic effect
Cress contains a lot of vitamin A, which relieves eye fatigue and helps prevent night blindness and dry eyes. In addition, it is used as a food ingredient to stabilize blood pressure and enhance immunity. Cold noodles are also effective in hemostasis, so they are good for menstrual irregularities, nosebleeds, and postpartum bleeding, and are also effective in managing skin and bone health due to their high calcium, potassium, and iron.
In particular, in oriental medicine, naengi helps lower the liver's fever and detoxifies it, and is used as an herb to improve indigestion by strengthening gastrointestinal function. In particular, if you drink it with warm tea, it has a great detoxification effect, and if you drink it with juice, it helps you recover from fatigue. However, coldness is a food with cold energy, and excessive consumption can make the bodies of cool people colder, so be careful.
◇씀: Help to relieve dyspepsia and relieve spring pain
It is recorded that it has the effect of lowering the body's heat and removing toxins in 'Dongui Bogam'. In fact, 'inulin', which is contained in a large amount in the corner of the hand, promotes gastric juice secretion, helps digestion and helps keep the stomach healthy. For this reason, Baengbi is a very useful herb for those who have a bloated stomach or complain of indigestion. In addition, Sponge contains a lot of vitamin C and protein, which facilitates energy metabolism in the body, which is effective in relieving spring fever in spring.
◇Minari: Toxin removal, hangover relief, and anti-cancer effects
Minari, which is written as 'water 芹' or 'water 英' in the medical book 'Hyangyak Jipseongbang' compiled during the King Sejong period of the Joseon Dynasty, is cold and contains a lot of water. It is useful for relieving toxins in the body and lowering fever. In addition, it has the effect of removing and discharging phlegm because it has a expectancy effect.
In addition, drinking water parsley on a day with a severe hangover can quickly recover the liver damaged by alcohol, helping to relieve hangovers. It also has the effect of promoting diuretic action to expel waste products from the body and maintain water balance in the body. This is not the end. Some ingredients in water parsley are effective in preventing colon and lung cancer by inhibiting cancer cell growth.
◇ Chives: Vitality for men and anemia for women
Chuchu is a representative vegetable that strengthens lamb and is known to be good for men's health. This is because vitamin B group and vitamin C, which are abundant in leeks, promote metabolism and are effective in recovering fatigue and blood circulation. In addition, iron contained in leeks prevents anemia and facilitates oxygen supply in the body, which is also beneficial to women and growing children. In addition, the antioxidants abundant in leeks contribute to preventing body aging and increasing immunity.
In oriental medicine, leeks are also treated as herbs that boost yang energy and strengthen the stomach and kidneys due to their warm properties. For this reason, leeks have the effect of rejuvenating and warming the body of people with weak energy. However, a constitution with a red face and frequent fever can cause indigestion symptoms due to increased body heat when eating chives.
Hong Soon-seong, director of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, said, `If you eat fresh spring greens according to your constitution, it will make up for the nutrients that you lacked during the winter, which will help boost your metabolism and strengthen your immunity,' and added, `I hope you will have a lively spring by properly balancing your body and improving your health during the spring season.'
