Little Uses for Orange Peel

Tiny orange peels have various wonderful uses and many medicinal effects.

Treating Cough

Use 5 grams of dried orange peel, add 2 cups of water and simmer into a decoction. Then, add a small amount of ginger and brown sugar and drink it while hot. Alternatively, take an appropriate amount of fresh orange peel, chop it, and steep it in boiling water. Add sugar to drink as a tea substitute; it has the effect of resolving phlegm and stopping coughs.

Treating Chilblains

Roast the orange peel until it is charred, grind it into a powder, and then mix it evenly with vegetable oil. Apply it to the affected area to help chilblains heal quickly.

Preventing Motion Sickness

One hour before getting in a car, take a fresh orange peel, fold it in half inwards, and hold it to your nostrils. Squeeze and pinch the peel with your fingers. The orange essential oil mist from the peel can effectively prevent motion sickness.

Cleverly Treating Constipation

Take 12 grams of fresh orange peel or 6 grams of dried orange peel, simmer it in water to make a decoction, and drink it to treat constipation.

Cleverly Sobering Up

Use 30 grams of fresh orange peel, add a little salt, simmer it in water to make a decoction, and drink it. The effect of sobering up is quite good.

Cleverly Treating Teeth Grinding During Sleep

10 minutes before bed, place a piece of orange peel in your mouth and then go to sleep. It is best not to spit it out; only do so if you feel discomfort.

Cleverly Preventing "Sour Teeth"

People with sensitive teeth are particularly sensitive to sour oranges. In fact, as long as you drink a cup of water steeped with the remaining fresh orange peel immediately after eating a sour orange, you can prevent your teeth from becoming overly sensitive.
