【Wood Lotus Fruit for Treating Cough】
We all know that although Chinese herbs have very good therapeutic effects, some people do not know how to use them correctly, and eventually, the efficacy of Chinese herbs is completely lost. So, let me tell you how to use wood lotus fruit to treat cough.
Wood lotus fruit is a spherical or blunt conical fruit of the wood lotus family. It looks like a pinecone. It is hard and not easy to peel. It is about 4cm long and 3-4cm in diameter. The surface is brown with small wart-like protrusions. The base usually has a short reddish-brown stalk about 5mm in diameter, and it is covered with yellow circular spots, which are the traces left after the stamens fall off.
Most of the fruit is cracked, and the inner surface is brown. Unopened wood lotus fruit has a raised longitudinal ridge on the back and a yellow-brown color on the side, with 4-6 ridges. When the fruit peel is removed, there are 1-4 seeds inside. It has a fragrant smell and a spicy taste. Its main edible value is for medicinal purposes and cannot be eaten fresh directly. It is a type of Chinese herbal medicine with remarkable therapeutic effects.
For patients with severe cough, it is recommended to directly boil the wood lotus fruit, about 5 qian (around 15 grams) each time. It can also be used as an ingredient in soup for stronger health benefits.
