In modern times, the skin care effects of Centella Asiatica have been fully promoted by major skin care products, and it has become the "Taiwan Balm" in the beauty industry.
For example, what is anti-aging? It delays skin aging, prevents wrinkles and spots, and has moisturizing effects.
Repair water-damaged skin, reduce scars, remove acne, regulate skin texture, shrink pores, fade spots, whiten, increase the thickness of the dermis, and achieve anti-aging effects.
There's nothing you can't think of, nothing you can't do, it's simply an invincible treasure!
However, Centella asiatica is indeed used as both medicine and food. You can eat the young leaves and make soup or meals.
Boil Centella asiatica, Dashengchi, raw hawthorn and rock sugar in water and drink it, which can nourish the skin and delay aging.

The Sanjin Tablets often taken by patients with nephritis is a compound preparation of Centella asiatica.
The busyness during this period, starting with wheat harvesting, inevitably left everyone tanned. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Jiang Zhi was going to use Centella asiatica for skin care.
Centella asiatica can be boiled in water to wash your face and extract its essence.
In the absence of various sterile operating conditions and antiseptic additives, Jiangzhi used the simplest method: directly pound it and apply it on the surface.
She had just pounded the grass pulp, and Chunfeng had already leaned over, her naked body white in the moonlight.
Jiang Zhi gave her a scolding look: "Scrub clean and then put on clothes. The water is cold. Don't take advantage of your youth to catch cold."
Chunfeng giggled and said, "Auntie, I'm in good health, I'm not afraid!"
After living in the mountains for a year, Chunfeng's body has been restored to very good health. She is still in her early twenties and still feels the wind every day when she walks.
"Auntie, Qiaoyun said that she will live in the mountains from now on and not enter the village!"
As Chunfeng spoke, he took the mashed grass mud and applied it to his arm, where he had scars from eczema and scratching while escaping from famine last year.
Aunt Jiang said that applying this grass would dissipate it, but Chunfeng didn't want to leave these dark brown marks.
Qiaoyun also came over, took grass mud and applied it on her back, and then said: "Sister-in-law Chunfeng, I don't want to go into the village. Last time I went to the village, those sisters-in-law seemed to want to swallow me up. It was so scary. !”
She wasn't exaggerating.
Last time I went to the village to deliver clothes to my mother-in-law and husband, several aunts and sisters-in-law who were familiar with her from the village made her cry, laugh, and ask questions, which made Qiaoyun, who was already timid, blushing.
Caixia was even rushed to be hugged by several little girls.
As soon as Er Rui said he wanted to go back to the mountain, she immediately took the child away, for fear of being caught talking again.
Jiang Zhi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. The women in Liu's village were all extremely surprised when they saw Qiao Yun and their children.
The intimacy here is naturally half-truth and half-false.
Mrs. Jiang is not easy to get close to, so when she rarely sees her junior, she naturally has to win over her.
Mrs. Liu and the others really had mixed feelings when facing Qiaoyun.
After a catastrophic disaster, Qiaoyun did not follow everyone to escape. Not only did she give birth to a child smoothly, but she also raised her child cleanly and without any hardship at all.
If it were Mrs. Jiang from before, they might have said something to speculate on jealousy.
But thinking about Village Chief Jiang's methods and these ways to fill his stomach, it must be very easy to take good care of these children.
Now they are also jealous, and more than anything they are envious. If it had been back then... Oh, forget it!
Qiaoyun didn't want to go back to the village, except for the fact that the villagers were overly enthusiastic and scared her.
Another reason is that if you live in a village, you cannot bathe in the open air like this.
The canals here lead to mountain springs to store. After a day of sunshine during the day, the water is no longer cold.
There was no one around, and the women could bathe freely. Chunfeng and Qiaoyun were shy at first, but they let themselves go under the leadership of Aunt Jiang.
In fact, whether to return to the village or not, the two families began to discuss this issue when they started building houses in the village.
Xiao Manye is very satisfied with the current situation. Xu Dazhu is unwilling to return to the village, and Chunfeng naturally wants to stay in the mountain.
There was land and water here, and it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the village. The couple decided to stay.
Jiang Zhi also thinks it is good to live in the mountains, as the poem says:
There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.
Don't worry about other things, it's a good time in the world.
But this is just her personal feeling. Living on the mountain also has its shortcomings.
Traffic is not smooth, information is not well-informed, and supplies are scarce. Nini and Xiao Caixia will grow up and have their own lives, and cannot be isolated from the world since they were young.
It’s good to have a place to recuperate, but it’s also a place to retreat to when faced with a major disaster.
Qiaoyun and Chunfeng put on their clothes, applied their facial masks, and sat under the stars and moon, blowing the night wind, chattering, talking about their future life and their children.
Jiang Zhi also applied it on her face. Although she was already a grandmother, she still wanted to be a grandma with gray hair and a childish face.
The next day, the weather became more and more muggy, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
Er Rui and Xiao Man re-strengthened the roof on the mountain and tied several pieces of wood.
The storm when Xiao Caixia was born last year is still vivid in my mind. Although there was no heavy rain on the child's birthday this year, it will eventually happen again.
The ditch on the cliff has been rerouted, but Mr. Man still digs a deep ditch under the back wall of his house to ensure that flash floods will not penetrate the house again.
The wind gradually picked up, and the leaves on the mountain were overturned, and the sound was like waves crashing on the shore.
Er Rui ran back from the field with a hoe. He had just opened the gap in the field to release water to prevent the heavy rain from washing away the terraces and destroying the seedlings.
Xiao Man was also opening the drainage gate of the canal with Master Xiao Man at this time.
Little Man looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, but he didn't have the slightest worry: "It would be nice to have some rain. It's time for the weirs and ditches in the fields to store water!"
He was talking about the ditches in the village. Farming requires a lot of water. As a rule, dams with earth and rocks are built at regular intervals in the ditches to store water.
Although there has been plenty of rain this year, it is suitable for dry land plants, but not enough for paddy fields.
It's better now. Once midsummer comes, the fields will need a lot of water, so water from the weirs and dams will have to be released.
This water is the life of the farmer. There is no need for more or less, and it must be managed just right.
Jiang Zhi carried a bundle of firewood into the kitchen. Qiao Yun rolled up her sleeves and said, "Mom, I'll do all the work. Caixia has already fallen asleep."
Jiang Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's going to rain soon. I'd better cook, steam some wheat cakes, and make a pot of rice. That's all."
Although the roof had been renovated, she was still worried.
Last year's thunderstorm blew off the roof, making it difficult to cook.
This year I’m going to make a pot of rice that lasts a day.
When Qiaoyun saw that her mother-in-law wanted to cook, she didn't argue and went to the woods to look for chickens.
Finding chickens to bring home when it rains is something that even farm children are nervous about. If they don’t count enough, they will be beaten.
Hens that can raise chicks are better off. They usually know how to find a shelter from the rain and protect the chicks with their wings.
But when the chickens are disobedient and want to play, the hen can only get wet in the rain and become a drowned rat.
Usually after a night, the chicks with wet feathers will get sick and die, which is a huge loss to the family.
