Three Benefits of Eating Lilies in Autumn

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, lily bulb is sweet and cold in nature, and it affects the heart and lung meridians. Its functions and indications are: nourishing yin to moisten the lungs, and clearing the heart to calm the spirit. It is used for dry cough due to yin deficiency, chronic cough with hemoptysis, vexation and palpitation due to deficiency, insomnia with many dreams, and mental confusion. Autumn has arrived, and the temperature has dropped sharply. Is it a good time to eat lily bulb?

I. Nourishing the Lungs

We know that autumn becomes relatively dry, and the amount of dust in the air also increases. Therefore, our respiratory tract is easily affected, and we may be susceptible to some lung diseases. Therefore, in autumn, we should focus on the maintenance of the lungs. Lily bulb, as a medicinal herb, contains a lot of mucus-like substances, which have a good effect on clearing impurities and bacteria from the lungs.

II. Detoxification

We know that the weather is hot in summer, and our bodies can produce some "heat toxins" during this season. These toxins can still exist in autumn, and the temperature at noon in autumn is also relatively high, so heat toxins may accumulate. At this time, eating lily bulb can enhance lung function, allowing the lungs, which are vulnerable to toxins, to strengthen their resistance and maintain physical health.
