Anmerkungen
- In Southern China, Su Ya is marketed as Germinated Rice Gu Ya because the two share similar actions.
- It mildly reduces and transforms Food Stagnation caused by an accumulation of grains and starches.
- As a topical paste, it lends the skin a glossy sheen.
- Su Ya and Massa Medicata Fermentata Shen Qu both reduce Food Stagnation, but Su (Gu) Ya is gentler, more harmonizing and more tonifying — it strengthens the Spleen and tonifies Qi, making it the better choice when a weak Spleen and Stomach cannot properly digest food and anorexia results.
- Gu Ya's digestive action is milder than that of Mai Ya, so the two are usually combined to strengthen the overall effect.
- It is especially suited to retention of grains.
- The two most effective herbs for Food Stagnation from grains are this herb and Fr. Hordei Germinatus Mai Ya, which aids digestion and has some Spleen-strengthening ability and works best for Cold Food Stagnation with poor absorption. This herb's digestive action is weaker, so it does not injure the Stomach Qi, making it most effective for Hot Food Stagnation accompanied by pronounced Spleen Deficiency.
- Unprepared (raw) Millet/Rice Sprouts Sheng Su/Gu Ya best assist the digestion of starches.
- Dry-fried Millet/Rice Sprouts Chao Su/Gu Ya, when only lightly roasted, come close to matching Sheng Su/Gu Ya in digesting grains and starches.
- Distillate of Millet/Rice Sprouts Su/Gu Ya Lu reduces Food Stagnation, strengthens the Spleen, stimulates the appetite, harmonizes the Middle, generates Fluids and benefits Qi; taken as a tea substitute it makes a fine beverage for those with weak Spleen function, since it both tonifies and clears Food Stagnation.
