* Maintaining Healthy Pregnancy : One of the Chinese Medicine books, Ben Cao Jin Ji Zhu, and also modern TCM food diet therapy text books all mention that Lotus Seed can tonify the Spleen and Kidney to build up the body’s energy, Qi and Blood and help to stop bleeding associated with miscarriage.Women who have a history of miscarriage with the symptoms mentioned above can eat some Lotus Seeds while undergoing their treatment. I suggest dishes like Lotus Sticky Rice Porridge and Lotus Red Dates Porridge.
*Combination Formulas : Lotus seeds are often a vital component when combined with other herbs to create traditional formulas within Chinese medicine. Dharmananda lists several on the Institute for Traditional Medicine website. The Sheng Ling Baizhu San blend is well known and is said to help weak digestion and alleviate diarrhea. The formula Qingxin Lianzi Yin can be used for urinary and reproductive disorders, including urinary tract infections and prostatitis.
