Roasted oranges are good for relieving cough and reducing phlegm? Oranges are full of treasures

Science Fiction Network, December 20th: Recently, many netizens have used roasted oranges to relieve cough and reduce phlegm. Roasted oranges are one of the methods used to treat cough. Oranges themselves have the effect of moistening the lungs and promoting the production of body fluids. After roasting, they can reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and are easier to digest and absorb. Experts remind that the correct way to roast oranges is to use a slow fire to roast them until the orange peel just turns charred and black.

The flesh, skin, core and veins of oranges can all be used as medicine. The dried outer peel of oranges is called "Chenpi" (because the older the orange, the better the medicinal effect). The white mesh-like veins on the orange pulp are called "Chenpi", which contain a certain amount of vitamin P and have the effects of dredge meridians, resolve phlegm, regulate qi, and eliminate stagnation. The orange core is bitter and non-toxic, and has the effect of regulating qi and relieving pain. It can be used to treat hernia, back pain and other symptoms. Even orange roots and leaves can be used as medicine, with different functions such as soothing the liver, strengthening the spleen, and harmonizing the stomach.

In addition to roasting oranges, you can also soak the orange peels in water and drink them, which can not only relieve coughs and moisten the lungs, stimulate appetite and regulate qi, but also have a certain cough-relieving effect. The orange peels also have a certain taste, which can promote digestion and prevent vomiting, and can also relieve symptoms such as coughing and sputum.

You can also steam orange peels. Peel the orange peels, add a little salt, and steam them in a pot for about 20 minutes. After steaming, you can eat them directly. Eating a moderate amount every day can help relieve cough and reduce phlegm. It should be noted that for severe coughs, eating roasted oranges or orange peels alone is not enough. You need to follow the doctor's instructions and take oral medications to improve the condition. (Editor: Qin Yingying)
