Dr. He Haochen
The benefits and effects of drinking water infused with chicken gizzard membrane (Ji Nei Jin) and lotus leaf (He Ye) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. **Stimulates digestion and appetite**: Chicken gizzard membrane promotes digestion by enhancing gastric juice secretion, improving gastrointestinal digestive function, and accelerating gastric emptying, thereby significantly alleviating indigestion.
2. **Promotes dissolution and excretion of stones**: Chicken gizzard membrane also aids in dissolving and expelling stones in the body, offering certain benefits in the prevention and treatment of calculi (stone-related conditions).
3. **Clears heat and detoxifies**: Lotus leaf has heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, helping to relieve symptoms of febrile diseases, colds, and pharyngitis. It also provides some relief for edema and swelling.
4. **Aids in weight loss**: The dietary fiber in lotus leaf promotes digestion and increases satiety, which can assist in weight reduction.
