"Pig brain supplements brain" comes more from the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine, which belongs to the experience of the ancients. However, it is almost difficult to find the view that pig brain supplements brain by looking through ancient Chinese medicine books. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that "the brain marrow is damaged by yang and spermatorrhea". At the same time, Li Shizhen thinks that pig brain is sweet, cold and toxic. "Qian Jin Fang" records: sheep brain, pig brain, men eat a fine loss, fewer children. If you want to eat it, it is better to grind it into powder and dip it in vinegar. "The Book of Rites also says that eating dolphins will kill the brain. It is recorded in "Sun Zhenren's food taboos" that the pig brain damages others' yang Tao and cannot act for the time being. Especially after drinking, you can't eat it. " "Life-prolonging Book" also records that people who eat salt, wine and pig brain today are recruiting thieves themselves. All the viewpoints in the above ancient books think that pig brain is not a tonic. Long-term use can not only replenish the brain, but even damage the kidney yang and essence of men, which is not conducive to health. Li Shizhen even thinks that pig brain is poisonous, and Fang also thinks that if pig brain is not eaten, it can be avoided as much as possible.
As for pig brain tonic, you can contact it. In the Annals of Sichuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we can find such a record: "Pig brain supplements bone marrow, benefits fatigue, cures neurasthenia, and corrects dizziness in the elderly. Sichuan Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine also records that pig brain can cure dizziness and tinnitus in the elderly: pig brain marrow, hemp for tomorrow, bell grass, wolfberry fruit and steamed soup. But it also points out that pig brain has a certain effect of distributing bone marrow and benefiting fatigue in the treatment of senile diseases. Nor did it say that pig brain is suitable for all ages as a tonic. Modern scientific research shows that pig brain is rich in cholesterol, and long-term consumption can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents in middle-aged and elderly people.
Pig brain is not a tonic, so please don't take it as a tonic for a long time, which is harmful and useless.
