Starożytny suplement

Gao Fang (galaretka ziołowa)

Gao fang to starożytna forma suplementu dietetycznego. Dawniej ludzie sami robili ją w domach, obecnie przygotowują to kliniki i szpitale dla pacjentów chcących jej używać. Sposób przygotowania jest bardzo prosty, podobnie jak przygotowanie zupy czy pieczenie ciasta. Dawniej nie dostrzegano różnicy między kuchnią a medycyną.

Gao fang można zamówić w niektórych większych miastach jak Hongzhow. W Polsce nie jest możliwe to do wykonania ze względów prawnych, ale przy odrobinie chęci każdy może zrobić to sam i wówczas nie ryzykuje naruszenia prawa.

Poniższy tekst powstał na podstawie kilku książek chińskich i jest tylko częściowo tłumaczony. W Europie ten suplement jest nieznany i poza językiem chińskim trudno znaleźć jakiekolwiek materiały na ten temat.

Gao fang jest szeroko stosowany w chińskiej medycynie ze względu na swe właściwości odżywcze i wzmacniające ludzki organizm. W TCM lekarstwa i suplementy występują w ośmiu różnych postaciach: pastylek do ssania, tabletek, wina, proszku, pasty, wina, destylatu i właśnie Gao fang. Może ona być stosowana doustnie, jak i w postaci okładów. Gao fang występuje w postaci gęstej pasty lub półpłynnej cieczy, która powstaje z ziół z dodatkiem miodu lub cukru.

Gao Fang jest szczególnie zalecany pacjentom z chronicznymi schorzeniami, po operacji, z osłabionym organizmem z powodu nieprawidłowego odżywiania lub długotrwałej stresującej pracy, łatwo się przeziębiającym, w średnim wieku i osobom starszym, pozbawionym energii i wigoru. Ułatwia powrót do zdrowia pacjentom po leczeniu z powodu: zapalenia oskrzeli, astmy oskrzelowej, nadciśnienia, chorób serca (zakrzepów), cukrzycy, marskości wątroby, chorób nerek, nieżytu żołądka, anemii, artretyzmu, nieregularnych miesiączek, chorób układu moczowego, lumbago i bólów nóg, niepłodności. Stosują go także pacjenci po operacjach, a także kobiety po urodzeniu dziecka.

Gao fang nie powinny stosować osoby z ostrymi chorobami i infekcjami lub z chronicznymi chorobami w początkowym stadium rozwoju. Osoby z silnymi bólami żołądka, zapaleniem okrężnicy, zapaleniem pęcherzyka żółciowego, kamieniami żółciowymi i kamieniami w nerkach.

W przypadku pojawienia się przeziębienia lub niestrawności w trakcie zażywania Gao fang, leży zaprzestać przyjmowania leku na 3 – 5 dni, do momentu ustąpienia objawów.

Jeśli według diagnozy TCM istnieje wilgoć wewnątrz ciała dampness-turbid interior accumulated (symptomy: utrata apetytu, biały tłusty nalot na języku) lub gorącą wilgoć wewnątrz ciała dampness-heat interior accumulated (symptomami są gorzki smak w ustach, zaparcia, żółty tłusty nalot na języku). Jeśli te objawy pojawią się przed zażywaniem Gao fang lekarz powinien zapisać zioła przywracające równowagę żołądka i likwidujące ciepło i wilgoć. Jeśli natomiast objawy wystąpią podczas stosowania Gao fang należy odstawić ten suplement do momentu ustąpienia objawów.

 

Jeśli zachorujemy podczas stosowania Gao fang należy zaprzestać przyjmowania do momentu zdiagnozowania choroby i dopiero wtedy zadecydować czy przyjmować go dalej.

 

Osoby młode, pełne energii z silnym organizmem, bez jakichkolwiek symptomów choroby, nie powinny zażywać Gao fang.

 

Okres jesienno-zimowy jest najlepszy czasem, aby zacząć zażywać Gao fang, gdyż poziom energii, jaki posiadamy niejako odpowiada porom roku. Simaqian, słynny pisarz z okresu panowania dynastii Han, powiedział: „wiosna powoduje narodziny, lato wzrost, jesień zbiory, a zima zapasy”. Późną jesienią i zimą ludzkie ciało przygotowuje się do adaptacji do niskich temperatur – trawienie jest szybsze niż wcześniej, aby wchłonąć jak najwięcej substancji odżywczych, podczas gdy nasz metabolizm spowalnia. Dlatego zima jest najlepszą porą na robienie w naszym organizmie zapasów, wzmacniających nasz organizm.

 

Podczas innych pór roku, gdy organizm pacjenta jest słaby po operacji lub długotrwałych chorobach należy łączyć Gao fang z innymi ziołami tak, by jak najszybciej przywrócić organizmowi równowagę. Takie połączenie przyspiesza leczenie choroby i zgodnie z zasadami TCM stopniowo wzmacnia organizm.

Zazwyczaj Gao fang przyjmujemy na pusty żołądek, aby ułatwić organizmowi wchłanianie. Jeśli jednak okazałoby się, że dla pacjenta jest to niewygodne lub jeśli miałby on problemy żołądkowe, wówczas można spożywać Gao fang pół lub godzinę po posiłku.

Sposób przygotowania Gao fang:

1. Gotujemy wywar z ziół, do którego dodajemy inne, niezmielone produkty np. orzechy, sezam. Produkty, które ulegają rozpuszczeniu dodajemy do wywaru na samym końcu i nie gotujemy ich. Kosztowne zioła takie jak np. renshen, fengdou, haima, hailong, lurongpian, dongchongxiacao, hongjingtian, jinqianbaihuashe, itd. gotujemy w oddzielnym naczyniu, 3 razy, na wolnym ogniu. Nie należy ich łączyć z innymi ziołami, by te nie wchłonęły najcenniejszych ich składników. Po odlaniu wywaru wyciskamy wszystkie soki i jego resztki. Wszystko filtrujemy, zagęszczamy oraz

dodajemy do wywaru z ziół na chwilę przed tym jak będzie gotowy. Sproszkowane zioła takie jak: shanshen, hupo, lingyangjiao, ziheche, gejie, zhenzhu, xihonghua, sanqi powinny być dodane do wywaru tuż przed zakończeniem gotowania. Niektóre zioła: heizhimahu, hutaoren, longyanrou, dazo (bez pestki), powinny zostać zmielone zanim zostaną dodane do wywaru. Kleiste zioła moczymy z dodatkiem żółtego wina ryżowego, następnie gotujemy do momentu rozpuszczenia.

2. Moczenie: Zanim włożymy podstawowe zioła do garnka, należy je moczyć przez 24 godziny a poziom wody powinien wahać się na ok. 10 cm nad warstwą ziół.

3. Przyrządzenie wywaru: Do momentu zagotowania się wywaru, zioła gotujemy na silnym ogniu, potem gotujemy zioła około 1 godziny na średnim ogniu i kolejne 3 godziny na bardzo małym ogniu. Te same zioła gotujemy 3 razy, później filtrujemy, odcedzamy je i wywary z wszystkich ziół mieszamy razem.

4. Zagęszczanie: wlej wywar do czystego garnka, gotuj do momentu, aż będzie gęsty i później dodajemy wywar z kosztownych ziół uprzednio wyciśnięty. Należy kontrolować siłę ognia, aby wywar w momencie gęstnienia nie wykipiał.

5. Na końcu dodajemy rozpuszczone, kleiste zioła. Cukier lub miód powinny być rozpuszczone i ciepłe. Należy cały czas mieszać wywar, aby nie przywarł do garnka. Następnie dodajemy sproszkowane zioła. Kiedy wywar jest bardzo gęsty Gao fang jest gotowy.

Zamiast cukru lub miodu można dodać ksyliton.

1.What is gaofang?

Generally speaking,gao includes oral and external application .It is one of eight preparations in TCM which include pill, powder, paste,dan,wine, distillate, decoction ,lozenge.Gaofang, also called oral thick paste formula, is decocted extract for oral application. It is semi-liquid form of preparation made by decocting the drugs in water repeatedly,discarding the dregs,then concentrating and adding to it refined honey or sugar.It is widely applicable to patients with chronic diseases of internal,surgery, gynecology, paediatrics , osteotrauma or  five sensory organs and weak constitution due to its nourishing action.

It is increasely welcome to people due to its convenience and notable curative effect.  According to traditional knowledge and clinical experience in TCM theory,gaofang is a kind of patent with the function of nourishing and tonifying human body ,treating and preventing disease.

2.Who is suitable to gaofang?

1.People who is in sub-health condition:a.somebody who with no chronic disease,but with weak constitution due to long-time tired work or heavy pressure ,easily to get cold;b.middle aged and old people, with less physical capacity and vigour, unable to competent enough for the busy work.

2.People with chronic disease were treated and their symptoms were controlled or weak condition due to long-time disease. These chronic diseases include:chronic bronchitis, emphysema of lungs, bronchial asthma, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipemia, diabetes,chronic gastritis,chronic col onitis, chronic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis in earlier stage, chronic nephritis,chronic urinary system infection, anaemia, rheumatoid arthritis, frequency night urine, lumbar and leg pain, sexual disturbance, irregular menstruation, infertilitas feminis.

3.People who are post-operation, post-bleeding, after serious diseases, or post-childbearing are in rehabilitation course.

3.What cases are not suitable to gaofang?

1.Acute disease or infection or chronic diseases in period of onset.The chronic diseases such as stomach pain,colonitis, cholecystitis, gallstone, kidney stone etc .

2.If common cold or indigestive in or before taking gaofang,patients  should stop taking it for 3 to 5 days until all symptoms are improved.

3.The syndrome of dampness-turbid interior accumulated (symptom: abdominal distention,poor appetite,white greasy tongue coating),or dampness-heat interior accumulated (symptom: bitter mouth,constipation,yellow greasy tongue coating).If these symptoms occur before taking gaofang,the doctor should prescribe some herbs to eliminate turbidity,regulate qi and harmonize stomach,or clear away heat and dampness. If these happen in the course of taking it,patients should stop until all symptoms are improved.

4.If new diseases onset during taking gaofang,patients should stop taking it and the disease should be diagnosed clearly ,then to decide to continue to take or not.

5.Strong constitution without other unwell manifestation or young people full of vigour needn’t take gaofang.

4.When to take gaofang?

1.Generally speaking,winter is the best season to take gaofang.Why? Human’s vital movement is closely related to nature environment. Simaqian,a famous literatus in Han dynasty,said:“spring administers borning, summer administers growing, autumn administers receiving,  winter administers storing.”In late autumn and winter,human body will make corresponding adjustment to adapt the increasely cold wether—-digestive function is stronger than before to absorb more nutrition and meanwhile the body metabolism is slower to lower consume.So,this season is suitable to store.In other word, it is suitable to tonify.

2.In other seasons,weak constitution can use gaofang due to some serious chronic diseases or post-operation.But in these cases,gaofang  should be combination with other decoction to regulate qi and blood, harmonize middle jiao,eliminate turbidity,relax the bowel,tranqulize mind,astringing and removing obstruction from meridian according to differentiation of symptoms and signs.Combinating with gaofang has three effects:First,it is used to treating the diseases;Second,it is convenient to take; Third,it is in line with the TCM principle that weakness should be tonified step by step.

3.Usually,we take gaofang on an empty stomach to strengthen the absorption.If the patient feels uncomfortable taking on an empty stomach or with stomach disease,he can take it 0.5-1 hour after meal.

A case: In late autumn. The patient suffered from stomach cancer,post-operation. Symptom: asthenia,short breath after acting,poor appetite,dry stool,pale tongue,wiry slow and weak pulse.First,decoction to tonify spleen and stomach,regulate qi and harmonize middle jiao was used.Two weeks later,the gaofang replaced decoction to tonify,and a week after that,continue the decoction……Two months later,all symptoms were improved.

5. composition of gaofang

There are five compositions to make gaofang:decoction pieces,fine material, glue,sugar,and adjuvant.

1) decoction pieces:It is main composition of gaofang which has the effect for treating dieases according to TCM differentiation of symptoms and signs.For example,renshen,dangshen, xiyangshen,huangqi, fuling, baizhu,hongjingtian etc to tonify qi;shudihuang,danggui,baishao, e’jiao,heshouwu to tonify blood; Guiban,biejia,fengdou,maidong,shashen,gouqi to tonify yin;buguzhi,roucongrong,bajitian, duzhong,gejie,taoren to tonify yang;and some other medicine to promoting qi circulation,resolve phlegm,clear heat etc.

The quantity of decoction pieces is bigger than the normal decoction which is about 3kg,no more than 5kg.The gaofang can be taken for 30-50 days to treat disease and tonify deficiency.

2) fine material: It is refers to some precious material such as renshen,lurong etc to tonify deficiency in the gaofang.It includes:

a)The kinds of shen:shengshaishen,xiyangshen,hongshen,chaoxianshen

b)The precious animal medicine:lingyangjiao powder,lurongpian, haima, hailong,ziheche powder,gejie powder,zhenzhu powder.

1. c) The precious mineral medicine:feihupo
2. d) The precious plant medicine:xihonghua,chuanbei powder,sanqi powder,fengdou.
3. e) The precious algae medicine:dongchongxiacao,lingzhi.

f)The medicines also are food:heizhima,hutaoren,zaoni,longyanrou.

3) glue:It not only can tonify but also fix and take shape of  the gao such as   e’jiao,guibanjiao biejiajiao and lujiaojiao.Gererally speaking,the quantity of gule is about 200-400g with only one or many kinds of glue together according to TCM differentiation of symptoms and signs.In some gaofang with no sugar or little sugar,the quantity of glue can reach to 400-600g.The gaofang without glue is for vegetarian, which we call “sugao”.

4)sugar: Usually ,we use sugar to masking the bitter taste ,to tonify, to fix and take shap of gaofang such as candy sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, cerealose,honey.The quantity of surgar is about 0.5kg.If the patient can’t intake too much sugar, for instance,the diabetes,we use the yuanzhen sugar instead (ksyliton).

5) adjuvant:It is necessary to use yellow rice wine to soak glue to remove offensive smell of glue and help the absorption of gaofang. The property and flavor of wine is sweet, pungent and heat,which has the function of promoting blood circulation to remove obstruction from meridians, strengthen the effect of gaofang,eliminating cold, modifying the taste.We soak glue with yellow rice wine,then stew till it melts,mix it well with decocted extract before finish the gaofang. The quantity of wine is 0.25-0.5kg.

6.How to make gaofang?

There are five maily steps to make gaofang:

1.preparation:The five composition should be preparated respectively to educe efficacy, especially the fine material.If the fine material decocted with decoction pieces,its effective ingredient will be absorbed by the decoction pieces. So it should be simmered alone, be decocted alone, or melting.For example,the fine material should be simmered or decocted alone for 3 times such as renshen,fengdou,haima,hailong,lurongpian,dongchongxiacao, hongjingtian,jinqianbaihuashe,etc; then crush to take juice,mix the juice with decoction well, filtering, concentrating,then add to the decocted extract when be going to finish the gaofang. The powder and juice should be mixed with decocted extract well when be going to finish the gaofang such as shanshen powder,hupo powder,lingyangjiao powder,ziheche powder,gejie powder,zhenzhu powder,xihonghua powder,sanqi powder etc. Some fine material should be grinded to add to the decocted extract when be going to finish the gaofang such as heizhimahu,hutaoren,longyanrou and dazao without core.The glue should be soaked with yellow rice wine,then stew till it melts.

2.Soaking:Examing all the drugs and picking out glue drug before putting all the other drugs into a clear pot.Add water to infiltrate drugs making them absorb water fully,later add water 10 centimeter higher than the plane of drugs,soak 24 hours.

3.Decocting:Usually strong fire is used until the water boils,followed by mild fire for 1 hour,then milder fire to keep the water boil for 3 hours.It should be decocted for 3 times,then filter the decoction and mix all together.

4.Concentrating:put the decoction to a clear pot,decoct till it becomes thick and mix the juice of fine material well with it.It is called “decocted extract”. Caution:when the decoction is getting thicker,the fire should be control in order to avoid fluxing out of pot.

5.completing the gaofang:Add sugar and glue to the decocted extract.The sugar and glue should be melted and warm.Meanwhile,it should be heated and agitated fully in order to avoid sticking to the bottom..Meanwhile,put the powder of fine material to it.When the decocted extract is very thick(when put it to the cold water,it won’t melt immediately),the gaofang finishes.

7.How to conserve gaofang?

1)Cool the complete gaofang,put it into a cleaning, sterile container.It is best to use the container of vitreous enamel or with large mouth.Caution:Don’t put the cover immediately in order to avoid mustiness due to the water vapor falling down to the gaofang from the cover.

2) Don’t put all the gaofang in one container.The gaofang not eating in the near future should be sealed and put in a cool and vent place or refrigerator.

3) The spoon to get gaofang should be cleaning,dryness and sterile.If the spoon is not dry,it is easily to mustiness.

4)If there is a little mold in surface layer of gaofang,you can remove it and re-heat the gaofang.

8. Dietetic restraint during taking gaofang

1)Turnip, mung bean and some greasy food are prohibited during taking Gaofang,especially when taking Renshen.

2) Coffee and Coca cola are prohibited.

3)Tea is prohibited.

4) Alcohol abuse is prohibited.

9.How to deal with the case during taking gaofang?

1)Constipation:stop taking gaofang temporary or decrease the quantity of gaofang every time till the symptom improved.During these time, the patient should take more fruit,vegetable ,water and honey.

2)Diarrhea: stop taking gaofang temporary till the symptom improved and find out the cause of diarrhea.There are many causes such as damp-cold,damp-heat, improper diet,or deficiency of spleen and stomach can’t endure the glue and some tonifying drugs.The patient should be treated according to the causes.

3)Indigestion: decrease the quantity of gaofang every time till the symptom improved,and drink some herb tea to promote digestion such as chenpi tea,shanzha tea.

4)Cough with phlegm:It is caused by failure of spleen to transport and transform due to   deficiency of spleen and stomach..So the patient should stop taking gaofang temporary till the symptom improved and take some drugs to invigorate the spleen, regulat qi and resolve phlegm.

5)Common cold and fever: stop taking gaofang temporary till the symptom improved.

6)Too deficiency to tonify:The symptom will occur after taking gaofang such as poor appetite,dry mouth, epistaxis, bleeding from gum, itch of skin.
