Pear has been honored as the "Sect of Hundred Fruits" since ancient times, which can cure cough and moisten the lungs. It's a pity that everyone only knows its efficacy and ignores whether its nature is suitable for their own physique. Pear has the function of clearing heart and moistening lung, but it is cold. People with cold and cough due to deficiency should not eat it raw. They must be steamed with water, or put in soup, or stewed with herbs.

The most popular pear diet can be regarded as boiling sugar water or soup with apricots, pears and tremella, which is quite effective for dry mouth. However, it should be noted that this recipe is cold in pear and cold in snow ear, which is more suitable for people who need to clear away heat due to excess heat or deficiency fire. In case of physical weakness and cold, you don't need snow ears. If this prescription is slightly modified, it can strengthen the effect of 3 yuan (9g) Fritillaria cirrhosa on invigorating lung qi. If matched with lily, it can nourish yin and soothe the nerves.

Speaking of the problem of pear coldness, more in-depth research shows that different kinds of pears have different degrees of coldness. For example, Tianya pear, which we often eat, is almost as cool as small and exquisite fragrant pear and large tribute pear, while thick-skinned sand pear and imported pear are even colder.
