The fruit of the Chinese toon tree is a medicinal and edible ingredient. Drinking tea made from the fruit can not only relieve cough and phlegm, but also promote digestion and nourish the stomach. Let's learn about the benefits and usage of the Chinese toon fruit!
【Benefits and Usage of Chinese Toon Fruit】
The Chinese toon fruit is very common in our daily life, but its main value lies in its medicinal use and cannot be eaten fresh directly.
It is a highly effective Chinese herbal medicine. You can directly boil the fresh fruit, add some rock sugar for flavoring, and drink it in the morning, noon, and night. It can help clear heat, cool down, and dispel cold, as well as aid digestion and prevent constipation.
You can also prepare the Chinese toon fruit and steep it in boiling water daily to make tea. Drink it like regular tea to improve your health and treat cough, although the effect may be slower.
For patients with severe cough, it is recommended to boil the Chinese toon fruit directly, about 5 qian each time. In addition to the above methods, you can also use the Chinese toon fruit as an ingredient for soup, which has stronger dietary and health benefits.
