#一用就靈的中藥#
微博不知道什么時(shí)候就莫名其妙掛了，以后還是長(zhǎng)文發(fā)簡(jiǎn)書?
朋友送的新鮮馬齒莧。比芝麻還小的黑顆粒就是它的種子。我們小時(shí)候用它編過(guò)手鏈，還有朋友說(shuō)以前拿這個(gè)喂豬。
似乎是隨處可見的雜草，但卻是一味頂好頂好的應(yīng)季好東西。
特性：入心，肝，肺，大腸，清火解熱毒。
功效：清熱利濕，解毒消腫，消炎利尿。
特別適合今年濕熱重，腸胃系統(tǒng)和皮膚系統(tǒng)大量出問(wèn)題的情況。
“馬齒莧，又名五行草，以其葉青，梗赤，花黃，根白，籽黑也?！毙⌒∫恢暌安荩瑓s五行俱全，厲害吧。
之所以叫它長(zhǎng)壽菜，除了五行俱全，應(yīng)該也與它擅清腸道濕熱有關(guān)，若要長(zhǎng)生，腹中常清。這腹中也可說(shuō)是腑中吧。腑宜常清。
我自己臨床上用得最多最靈的是：便秘，腸炎，帶狀皰疹，青春痘。大多都是濕熱造成的。
市面上也有提取過(guò)的保健品賣，其實(shí)不用這么麻煩，生命力超強(qiáng)的野菜，挖一把洗干凈焯一下當(dāng)涼菜吃，也是棒棒的。比如哪一天熬夜眼睛紅了，吃一點(diǎn)這個(gè)涼血降肝火。
和前段時(shí)間介紹過(guò)的紅莧菜不一樣，馬齒莧涼拌吃草腥味兒更重些，略酸略咸，因此清腸毒效力更強(qiáng)，被列入中藥，并且孕婦和腸胃寒涼的人慎吃。
它的英文名叫Purslane，這個(gè)英文網(wǎng)站organicfacts列出了馬齒莧的營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分：

保護(hù)心臟健康，減肥，促進(jìn)兒童發(fā)育，治療腸胃疾病，護(hù)理皮膚（祛皺，修復(fù)疤痕及斑點(diǎn)），幫助抗癌，提高視力，壯骨，促進(jìn)血液循環(huán)。
這個(gè)網(wǎng)頁(yè)更詳細(xì)些，我粗略翻譯一下：http://t.cn/Ai0QZxvH
1.卡路里和脂肪低，膳食纖維，維他命，礦物質(zhì)豐富。This wonderful green leafy vegetable is very low in calories (just 16 kcal/100g) and fats; nonetheless, it is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
2.富含Omega-3，遠(yuǎn)超任何其他綠葉蔬菜。Fresh leaves contain surprisingly more omega-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) than any other leafy vegetable plant. 100 grams of fresh purslane leaves provide about 350 mg of α-linolenic acid.
3.因此這種食物可以降低心腦血管疾病，中風(fēng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，并且?guī)椭A(yù)防多動(dòng)癥，自閉癥和其他兒童疾病的發(fā)展。Research studies show that consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and help prevent the development of ADHD, autism, and other developmental differences in children.
4.富含維他命A，抗氧化，有益視力，保護(hù)黏膜和皮膚。It is an excellent source of Vitamin-A, (1320 IU/100 g, provides 44% of RDA) one of the highest among green leafy vegetables. Vitamin-A is a known powerful natural antioxidant and an essential vitamin for vision. It is also required to maintain healthy mucosa and skin.
5.維他命A豐富的天然食物和水果也有助于預(yù)防肺癌和口腔癌。Consumption of natural vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin-A is known to help to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
6.富含維他命C和B族維生素，富含礦物質(zhì)，例如鐵，鎂，鈣，鉀，錳。Purslane is also a rich source of vitamin-C, and some B-complex vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and carotenoids, as well as dietary minerals, such as iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and manganese.
7.富含甜菜紅色素生物堿，抗氧化。Furthermore, present in purslane are two types of betalain alkaloid pigments, the reddish β -cyanins, and the yellow β -xanthins. Both pigment types are potent antioxidants and have been found to have antimutagenic properties in laboratory studies. [Proc. West. Pharmacol. Soc. 45: 101-103 (2002)].
