行氣食材助疏肝
「疏肝」是廣東話抒發鬱結、心情暢快的意思，究竟與肝有何關係？其實「疏肝」一詞出自中醫，中醫理論認為肝主疏泄、調節情志，角色就像體內的交通督導員，專責保持全身經脈道路暢通，如果肝功能失調導致肝鬱，就會令情緒鬱悶，出現頭痛、多嘆氣、多打嗝或放屁、胃痛、大便不調、失眠等症狀；如果肝能順利疏泄，精神情緒就能愉悅。
當人遇上壓力或不快事情，容易氣頂或氣結難下，這種鬱悶感覺直接令體內氣血不順，阻礙肝臟的疏泄工作。所以遇上情緒問題，除了控制及發洩情緒，適量進食行氣食物，例如白蘿蔔、陳皮、五指毛桃、金桔、玫瑰花等，有助氣血運行，改善肝鬱氣滯的情況。

白蘿蔔 — 性寒，具順氣寬中、健胃消食、清熱利尿、生津止渴的功效，尤其適合氣滯、血瘀體質人士食用，有行氣功效；而氣虛體弱、虛喘氣短、容易腹瀉、陽虛體質不宜食用，正在服用補氣中藥亦要避免，否則影響藥效。

陳皮 — 性溫，能理氣健脾、燥濕化痰，紓緩寒痰、腹部脹痛、孕婦及宿醉人士的作悶欲吐等，適合有壓力、氣滯、血瘀、痰濕體質人士服用。

五指毛桃 — 性平，有健脾補肺、行氣利濕、舒筋活絡功效，尤其適合氣虛、脾虛人士服用。

金桔 — 性溫，有理氣解鬱、消食化痰的作用，對於有胸悶氣結、心情鬱悶的人最為適合，同時可紓緩因肝氣鬱結而引起食慾不振。脾胃氣虛者不宜多吃。

玫瑰花 — 性溫，有疏肝解鬱、行氣活血作用。因為有活血功效，月經期間不宜飲用。

Relieve stress with ingredients that improve qi circulation
Soothing the liver, or ‘soh gon’ in Cantonese, means to relieve stress and improve our mood, but what has this got to do with the liver?

The term ‘soh gon’ actually derived from Chinese Traditional Medicine. According to its theory, liver is the central system that promotes circulation and dispersion, as well as regulates the emotions. It functions like a traffic warden of the body, who is in charge of ensuring the smooth circulation of the Meridians.

Individuals whose liver lose the function to regulate the body will experience emotional stress, headache; tend to sigh, burp or fart; suffer from stomach upset, abnormal stool consistency, and insomnia. If the liver is able to perform its functions well, our emotions will be stable and we will be in better spirit.

When we are stressed or experience unhappy events, we would experience the stagnation of the qi and blood, and this will inhibit the liver from performing its duty. Therefore, when we encounter emotional problems, we should learn to control ourselves and vent our frustrations appropriately. At the same time, consume food that will help improve qi circulation, such as white radish, dried citrus peel, hairy fig root, kumquat and rose flower, as these ingredients can improve the liver’s function to circulate and disperse, thus relieving the problem of stagnation.

White radish – cold in nature; can improve qi circulation, strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, induce diuresis and quench one’s thirst. It is especially suitable for individuals with conditions such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, as it promotes the qi circulation. It is not suitable for individuals with weakness of qi and body, as well as people who experience shortness of breath, prone to having diarrhea, and are deficient of the yang energy. Individuals who are taking Chinese medicine to replenish qi should avoid eating white radish, as it will inhibit the medicinal effect.

Dried citrus peel – warm in nature; can improve qi circulation and strengthen the spleen, dispel dampness and clear phlegm; relieve phlegm caused by cold, bloating, as well the nauseous feeling pregnant women and individuals who get hangovers would experience. It is also suitable for individuals who are under a lot of stress, experience qi stagnation, blood stasis and those with the phlegm-dampness body condition.

Hairy fig root – mild in nature; can strengthen the spleen and nourish the lungs; improve the circulation of qi and dispersion of dampness in the body, stimulate the circulation of the Meridians. It is especially suitable for individuals who experience qi deficiency and with a weak spleen.

Verified
Kumquat – warm in nature; can improve qi circulation and relieve stress, aid digestion and clear phlegm, suitable for individuals with chest tightness and with emotional problems. Kumquat can also improve appetite loss, which is caused by the qi stagnation in the liver. Those with qi deficiency in the spleen and stomach should limit the intake of kumquat.

Rose – warm in nature, can soothe the liver and relieve stress, improve the circulation of the qi and blood. Women during the menstrual period should not consume, as it promotes blood circulation.

✔Beauty Tea Recommendation:
Stress
Ingredients: Rose, Sweet Osmanthus, Fingered Citron, Fingered Citron Flower

Note：Not suitable for pregnant or menstruating women.

【旅遊小貼士】米水傍身，脾胃無有怕！

#bluemonday
#水肚不服會過去的
#帶著米水去旅行

水土不服？
聖誕快樂！相信不少朋友早已身處世界各地，過著開心無憂的真·假期。開心還開心，不少人在旅行頭幾日明明不似生病，也沒有特別吃過甚麼易出事的食物，偏偏就出現突發性的肚瀉甚至是嘔吐，其實這就是俗語中的「水土不服」，意思是人到了一個陌生地區，未可適應地理環境、食水或食物而出現的短暫性的不適症狀，多數是腸胃不適。但又為甚麼不是人人會出現這個狀況？這就是因為你的脾胃比較虛弱，才特別容易出現這些症狀！建議你帶著即沖米水去旅行，每朝飲一杯溫暖的米水可補中養脾，避免出現水肚不服；假如真的沒有準備的話，也建議你在早餐時選擇吃碗溫熱的米粥或麥皮。有欲吐症狀時，又未能及時看醫生的話，不妨袋著幾粒薑糖在身，以備不時之需，因為薑有和胃止嘔的作用！

Not used to your surroundings?

Merry Christmas! Most people are likely already out of town traveling during the holidays. Some people are not sick during their vacation and did not eat anything out of the ordinary, but they would have sudden onset of diarrhea or maybe even vomiting. This could likely be due to adjustment to the new surroundings and a lot of people end up with abdominal discomfort. Why doesn’t this happen to everyone? For people with weaker spleen and stomach, this could easily happen! We suggest you bring instant rice water with you on your vacation. Have a cup every morning to nourish your spleen and avoid adjustment issues. If you forgot to bring rice water, then have warm congee or oatmeal for breakfast. If you feel nauseous and don’t have access to doctor, try bringing some ginger candy with you to help relieve nausea and warm the stomach.

Yeah～
