Magnolia fruits can be directly soaked in water, but the temperature must be high. If you have a cough, take about 40-50g of magnolia fruit and directly soak it in tea. But if you have a severe cough, you can boil it and drink it directly.
If there are patients with severe cough, it is recommended to directly boil the magnolia fruit, about 15g each time. It can also be directly used as an ingredient for soup, with stronger dietary and health benefits.
