Source of the following Chinese article:

http://home.educities.edu.tw/doggyinn/health/olera.htm

馬齒莧的好處在大陸版「抗癌中草藥」一書如此描述:「全草含去甲基腎上腺素〈noradrenaline〉和多量鉀鹽•有治療腫瘤的作用。由於含豐富維生素A樣物質,故能促進上皮細胞的生理功能趨於正常,並能促進潰瘍的癒合。對痢疾桿菌﹐大腸桿菌﹐傷寒桿菌及常見致病性皮膚真菌均有抑制作用。」

這個看來既藥既菜的植物,既無毒又有防癌功能,何嚐不可?而在民間習慣上,是使用於吃壞肚子﹐下痢等症,效果不輸西藥,臨時抓不到西藥,可用這個應急。野外求生,當然也要會認而用之。

另彰化秀傳醫院公開的預防腸病毒方,即含有馬齒莧一方,抄錄供參考如下:「薏苡仁一兩﹐滑石六錢﹐馬齒莧三錢﹐板藍根三錢﹐白茅根三錢﹐生甘草二錢﹐大棗一錢﹐薄荷五分〈快煮好時再下〉」,加清水一千毫升〈按,一瓶大礦泉水〉,以大火煮沸後加冰糖適量,改轉小火熬三○分鐘。一歲以下三毫升〈按,約半湯匙〉;一至二歲五毫升;二至三歲七毫升;三至四歲九毫升,依此類推,十六歲以上則可當開水喝。

虛弱體質可能有腹瀉作用〈按,本劑性冷〉,須減量或另食蘋果改善。藥劑不可隔夜。 」。以上藥方中,板藍根及馬齒莧對感染症貢獻較大;白茅根則在退燒方面較顯著。

編者按﹕加糖可能不適合﹐因為糖能促進組織內的液體進入大腸內而增加腹瀉。
