#一用就灵的中药#
微博不知道什么时候就莫名其妙挂了，以后还是长文发简书
朋友送的新鲜马齿苋。比芝麻还小的黑颗粒就是它的种子。我们小时候用它编过手链，还有朋友说以前拿这个喂猪。
似乎是随处可见的杂草，但却是一味顶好顶好的应季好东西。
特性：入心，肝，肺，大肠，清火解热毒。
功效：清热利湿，解毒消肿，消炎利尿。
特别适合今年湿热重，肠胃系统和皮肤系统大量出问题的情况。
“马齿苋，又名五行草，以其叶青，梗赤，花黄，根白，籽黑也。”小小一株野草，却五行俱全，厉害吧。
之所以叫它长寿菜，除了五行俱全，应该也与它擅清肠道湿热有关，若要长生，腹中常清。这腹中也可说是腑中吧。腑宜常清。
我自己临床上用得最多最灵的是：便秘，肠炎，带状疱疹，青春痘。大多都是湿热造成的。
市面上也有提取过的保健品卖，其实不用这么麻烦，生命力超强的野菜，挖一把洗干净焯一下当凉菜吃，也是棒棒的。比如哪一天熬夜眼睛红了，吃一点这个凉血降肝火。
和前段时间介绍过的红苋菜不一样，马齿苋凉拌吃草腥味儿更重些，略酸略咸，因此清肠毒效力更强，被列入中药，并且孕妇和肠胃寒凉的人慎吃。
它的英文名叫Purslane，这个英文网站organicfacts列出了马齿苋的营养成分：

这个网页更详细些，我粗略翻译一下：http://t.cn/Ai0QZxvH
1.卡路里和脂肪低，膳食纤维，维他命，矿物质丰富。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，远超任何其他绿叶蔬菜。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.因此这种食物可以降低心脑血管疾病，中风的风险，并且帮助预防多动症，自闭症和其他儿童疾病的发展。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.富含维他命A，抗氧化，有益视力，保护黏膜和皮肤。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.维他命A丰富的天然食物和水果也有助于预防肺癌和口腔癌。Consumption of natural vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin-A is known to help to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
6.富含维他命C和B族维生素，富含矿物质，例如铁，镁，钙，钾，锰。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.富含甜菜红色素生物碱，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)].
