For many elderly people with weak spleen and stomach, the maintenance of spleen and stomach is a long-term process.
“Qing Palace Medical Records” records a longevity prescription, Bazhen Cake, which can be taken for a long time to “cultivate the spleen and stomach, lighten the body and endure old age”. According to records, Qianlong and Cixi also took this prescription all year round. The ingredients of Bazhen Cake are white lentils, yam, barley, poria cocos, lotus seeds, Gorgon seed, Codonopsis pilosula, and Atractylodes macrocephala. It strengthens the spleen and kidneys, nourishes the spleen and stomach, and is suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
However, the traditional Bazhen cake is time-consuming. This is an improved version of the salty Bazhen cake, which is more convenient to make at home and is especially suitable for breakfast.

At the same time, perilla also has the effect of harmonizing the stomach, relieving vomiting and dispelling cold, and can also relieve the greasyness of chicken.
