香茅擊退小病痛
常言道：「小病是福」，小病不想看醫生，就可以利用食材的天然功效，例如食東南亞菜常見的香茅，除了味道清香，其實功效甚多，香茅性溫，能疏風解表、祛瘀通絡，用熱水沖泡香茅茶飲用，有助紓緩初起風寒感冒，症狀包括怕冷、頭痛、頸部肌肉痠軟、喉嚨痕癢、咳嗽痰色白、鼻塞流清鼻涕等；亦有助紓緩不時發作的風濕痺痛、胃痛。
呈長條狀的香茅該用哪一部份？香茅整條都能使用，其葉片和莖外層較硬，剝開後也可以用來泡茶，而入廚則多數取用內裡較嫰的部份，一般取用後2/3段的香茅莖，斜切片或粒使用，切之前先用刀背拍一拍，有助香味散發。

香茅 ── 又名檸檬草，性溫，有疏風解表、祛瘀通絡的功效，適合風寒感冒咳嗽、胃痛、泄瀉、風濕痺痛時食用。

Lemongrass against minor ailments
‘Minor ailments are considered blessings’, if we do not wish to consult a doctor, we can opt for natural remedy like lemongrass, which is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. 

Besides its pleasant fragrance, lemongrass has many effects. It is warm in nature, can expel wind to relieve exterior syndrome, promote the meridian and clear blood stasis. Drinking lemongrass that has been boiled in hot water can relieve cold-related flu at the early stage, which carries symptoms such as aversion to cold, headache, sore neck muscles, itchy throat, white phlegm, nose block and clear mucus. Lemongrass can also relieve pain that is caused by rheumatism and gastritis.
Which part of the lemongrass should we use then? We can use the entire stem, but the outer leaves tend to be thicker. Once they are peeled off, we can use the outer coat to make tea, and save the softer inner part for cooking. The last 2/3 of the stem is normally used in cooking, and they will be sliced diagonally or diced into small bits. Smack the lemongrass with a knife’s back to release the fragrance. 

Lemongrass – warm in nature; expels wind to relieve exterior syndrome, promotes the meridian and clears blood stasis; can be consumed to relieve cold-related flu, cough, gastric pain, diarrhea and pain caused by rheumatism.
