Chenpi is the orange peel that we often talk about in our daily life. Many people habitually throw away the orange peel after eating oranges. However, the orange peel is not useless waste, but a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with multiple effects. After drying and storing the orange peel, it becomes Chenpi, which we often use to make herbal tea at home. Chenpi water does have many benefits for the human body.
1. Promotes digestion and increases appetite
Chenpi contains limonin, which helps promote intestinal peristalsis and digestion. In addition, it contains volatile oils, hesperidin, vitamin B, and vitamin C. The volatile oils have a mild stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, promoting the secretion of digestive fluids, relieving bloating, and increasing appetite.
2. Relieves phlegm and cough
Chenpi is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It has a bitter and warm taste and has the effects of invigorating the spleen, drying dampness, resolving phlegm, refreshing the mouth, and stopping vomiting. It is suitable for people with symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, poor appetite, and cough with excessive phlegm.
3. Relieves stomach bloating
Chenpi has a mild stimulating effect on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which can promote the secretion of digestive fluids and relieve intestinal gas.
4. Prevents vomiting
Prepare Chenpi, rice, and ginger juice. Then boil the ginger juice and Chenpi in water and drink it, or add them to rice to make porridge. This can effectively treat vomiting.
5. Beauty and anti-aging
Orange peel contains a large amount of vitamin C and essential oils that are beneficial to health. Drying the orange peel and taking it with tea can not only refresh and invigorate the body but also make the flavor more appealing. In addition, taking Chenpi can help eliminate toxins in the body, promote better circulation, improve the skin, and make a person more beautiful.
