For a cough, many people choose to find some cough syrup at home, which has a certain effect, but compared to diet therapy and health preservation, there is still a gap.
Roasted Orange
TCM experts have a tip for everyone: you can treat cold symptoms by eating roasted oranges, which can also reduce phlegm and stop coughing. To use it, you need to eat it with the peel while it's hot.
Method: Wash one orange, soak it in 40°C~50°C hot water for 3 minutes, wipe it dry with a cloth, then roast it until slightly charred. Eat one (with the peel) in the morning, at noon, and in the evening each day.
The entire orange is medicinal. The orange pulp has the effect of stimulating appetite, regulating qi, quenching thirst, and moistening the lungs; the orange peel (dried tangerine peel) strengthens the spleen, removes dampness, stops coughing, and transforms phlegm, and is a key medicine in Chinese medicine for phlegm removal; the orange network can unblock the meridians and eliminate phlegm accumulation.
Eating roasted oranges can relieve coughing and reduce phlegm, which is mainly due to the effect of the orange peel. Roasted oranges do not affect the taste and nutritional value, but also enhance the effect of reducing phlegm and stopping coughing. For those with an early stage of wind-cold cold, eating roasted oranges with the peel while hot can reduce the amount of phlegm and significantly alleviate coughing. A new study abroad has found that eating roasted oranges can also prevent coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.
Reminder: The main symptoms of wind-cold cold include: low coughing voice, excessive white foamy phlegm, aversion to cold and cold limbs, clear nasal discharge, pale complexion, aversion to cold without sweating, white and slippery tongue coating, and a slippery pulse.
