1. Asthma dietary prescription

Ingredients: 1 small watermelon, 150g fresh ginger, 150g honey, 150g sesame oil, 8~12 red dates.

How to use: Wash the soil outside the melon rind, make a small opening on the watermelon, take out the pulp and set it aside, leaving only the watermelon rind. Wash and chop the ginger, wash, core and slice the red dates, put one piece into the watermelon, and put the honey and sesame oil into the watermelon. Stir the ingredients in the watermelon evenly, cover with a small piece of watermelon rind cut out, and put it into a large bowl or stainless steel basin. With the notch facing up, fix it so that the ingredients inside the watermelon don't fall out. Steam it in the pot for 75 to 90 minutes.

After steaming, take out the ginger and red dates meat, and pour out the juice from the watermelon. After drying to the appropriate temperature, eat ginger, jujube, and drink honey and sesame oil soup. There is no need to eat watermelon rind. During the steaming process, the active ingredients in the watermelon rind will penetrate into the honey sesame oil soup. In addition, the watermelon rind plays a sealing role, which can prevent the active ingredients in ginger, red dates, honey, and sesame oil from evaporating during the heating process, so the watermelon rind needs to be tightly covered.
