Hi， I’m Zhang Cheng from the Qiansun Town Health Center．
大夫：秋天氣候比較干燥，給大家推薦一些適合潤肺清熱的藥材，這個是浙貝母，這個是瓜蔞，這兩味藥通常要搭配使用，是潤肺清熱的常用組合。
In autumn， the climate is relatively dry． I recommend some medicinal herbs that are suitable for moistening the lungs and clearing heat． They are fritillaria thunbergii miq and trichosanthes kirilowii maxim． These two herbs are usually used in combination and are also a common combination for moistening the lungs and clearing heat．

大夫：茯苓有健脾利濕，還有安神的作用。這個是橘紅，有燥濕化痰的作用，用茯苓和橘紅來組合，可以加強脾的運化，以潤肺燥。
The poria cocos has the functions of invigorating the spleen， removing dampness， and calming the mind． This is tangerine peel， which has the effect of drying dampness and resolving phlegm． Combining with poria cocos and tangerine peel can promote digestion and absorption， and moisten the dryness of the lungs．

This is platycodon grandiflorus， which was first recorded in Sheng Nong’s Herbal Classic as having expectorant property． Platycodon grandiflorum is also one of the first species listed by the state for dual－use in medicine and food．
主播：嗯，新鮮的桔梗根也可作為蔬菜食用。
Well， platycodon frangipani root can also be eaten as a vegetable．
大夫：這是天花粉，有清熱瀉火，生津止渴的功效，它是瓜蔞的根部切片。瓜蔞的果實，果仁和根部等均可入藥。

大夫：有個詞叫作“傷春悲秋”，秋天到了，日照減少人的心情容易不好。從飲食上講，我們要吃一些比較滋潤的東西，當令的水果、當令的蔬菜是最養(yǎng)生的。
There is a saying“sadness can be caused by changes in seasons and scenery”． Autumn has arrived， and people are easy to be in a bad mood with reduced sunlight． In terms of diet， we have to eat some nourishing food， and seasonal fruits and vegetables are the most healthy．
