Little orange has great uses for scientific health care, it all depends on it

　　In this golden autumn of October, round, yellow-orange oranges gradually come into our sight. Oranges are sweet and sour, and many people love this fruit. Slowly break open the golden orange peel, look at the fragrant pulp, and eat it. It is full of fragrance and is loved by everyone. According to traditional Chinese medicine, even though an orange may be small, it is full of treasures. So, what are the uses of oranges and what benefits do they have to the human body?

　　Orange, some people abbreviate it as "orange". Although the words are different, they mean the same thing. Oranges are native to my country and are evergreen trees of the citrus genus Rutaceae. Because they have relatively high requirements for temperature, humidity and soil environment, they are mainly produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, oranges are red and golden, while green and yellow ones are mostly citrus. Citrus is similar, the skin and flesh are easy to separate, and there are orange veins in the middle of the skin and flesh, but this is not the case with oranges.

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that oranges are warm in nature and sour and sweet in taste. If eaten in moderation, they can nourish the spleen, lungs, and body fluids; if consumed in excess, they will cause fire and produce phlegm, which can cause erosion of the corners of the mouth, swelling and pain in the throat, oral ulcers, thickened tongue coating, rumbling phlegm, dry stools, and yellow urine. Too much acid can also induce nodules and tumors. Oranges contain a large amount of carotene. If you eat too much at one time or take too much continuously, the high concentration of carotene in the blood will cause the skin to turn yellow.

　　It can be said that oranges are treasures all over the body: not only the pulp has high medicinal value, but its skin, core, collaterals and leaves are all "authentic medicinal materials".

　　Orange peel is used as medicine, called tangerine peel, and is one of the commonly used medicines in traditional Chinese medicine. The white inner layer of the orange peel is scraped off, leaving only the epidermis, which is called "orange red". It mainly enters the lung meridian and has the functions of regulating lung qi and eliminating phlegm. It is mostly used clinically to treat coughs, asthma and other symptoms. Intact orange peel also enters the spleen and stomach meridian and can treat coughs caused by food accumulation and phlegm. Therefore, orange peel can cure both cough and cough.

　　The most authentic origin of tangerine peel is Xinhui, Guangdong. Therefore, Xinhui peel is often used to refer to tangerine peel in traditional Chinese medicine. The older the tangerine peel is stored properly, the higher its medicinal value will be. In Guangdong, the most common use of tangerine peel is in dietary therapy. People use tangerine peel in daily soups, stews, and dishes because of its aromatic, qi-regulating, and digestion effects.

　　In life, for the sake of our health, everyone should pay more attention to a balanced diet and eat more seasonal fruits that are beneficial to the body and mind, so that their bodies can be healthier.
