Can Fritillaria cirrhosa be eaten directly?
It's best to cook it before eating it, and it's also ok to take it with water, but it's a little wasteful.
Suggestion: I suggest that you can grind it into powder, soak it in boiling water and drink it together, which is better. It is best not to mix it with porridge, which will reduce the efficacy.
Can Fritillaria cirrhosa be soaked in water to drink?
Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae can be soaked in water to drink, and Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae can also moisten the lungs, relieve cough and phlegm, relieve asthma, and clear away heat and phlegm.
The general method of soaking in water is to smash Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae into powder and take it with a small amount of boiling water.
Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae tastes slightly bitter. It is acceptable for adults to soak Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae in water. If it is a child, it is estimated that it will not be eaten because of its bitter taste. Mothers can make Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae powder into a paste with a small amount of boiling water, and then add some white sugar, and the baby will drink it.
However, Fritillaria cirrhosa is best stewed with pears, which has the best cough relieving effect. Because Chuanbei is hard, the effect of soaking in water will be slower.
For office workers, it's better to have a slower effect than to have no conditions to drink stewed pears with Chuanbei, so choose according to the actual conditions.
