Loquat has the effects of clearing away lung-heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, while rock sugar has the effects of invigorating middle energizer, moistening lung and relieving cough, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, so loquat rock sugar water has the effects of moistening lung and relieving cough and enhancing immunity. Let's take a concrete look at the efficacy of loquat rock sugar water.
Loquat is rich in cellulose, pectin, carotene, malic acid, citric acid, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium and vitamins A, B, C and so on. Rich in vitamin B and carotene, it has the functions of protecting eyesight, keeping skin healthy and moist, and promoting children's physical development, and vitamin B17 contained in it is also a nutrient for cancer prevention. In addition to these functions, it also has the functions of promoting digestion and absorption, moistening lung and relieving cough.
Although loquat has many functions, there are some taboos when eating it. First, loquat is cool, so people with diarrhea had better not eat it; Second, the sugar content of loquat is relatively high, and diabetics fast; Third, eating more loquat is easy to help dampness and phlegm, and you can't eat more; Fourth, try to avoid eating with milk, wheat and liquor.
having said the taboo of eating loquat fruit, let's talk about the making method of crystal sugar water for pipa! First, prepare 5 fresh and ripe loquat fruits and 3-5 pieces of rock sugar. Secondly, clean the loquat fruit, cut it after removing the skin, remove the white inner membrane between the core and the pulp, and then cut it into small pieces for later use. After that, add a proper amount of water to the pot, put loquat and rock sugar into the water, and after the water is boiled, turn it to low heat and cook for another half an hour. Then you can take it when the water is cool. People who often have a dry cough suggest taking it once every once in a while. The effect of moistening lung and relieving cough is better than that of taking medicine.
Maybe this kind of fruit is relatively rare in the north. If you can't buy loquat fruit, I suggest planting one in your own home, which can be planted in a flowerpot. As long as it is not frozen, it will generally not die. Even if it doesn't blossom and bear fruit, boiling water with loquat leaves can also play a role in relieving cough.
