Almond is also called apricot fruit. Almond is rich in protein, fat, sugar, carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin P, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. Among them, the content of carotene is second only to mango in fruits, and people call almonds anti-cancer fruits. Almond is rich in fatty oil, which can reduce cholesterol. Therefore, almond has a good effect on preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, almond has the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, moistening lung and relieving asthma, and is often used for health care and treatment of patients with lung dryness, asthma and cough. A recent study by American researchers shows that people with normal or slightly higher cholesterol levels can use almonds to replace foods with low nutritional density in their diet, so as to reduce blood cholesterol and maintain heart health. Researchers believe that almond is rich in various nutrients, such as vitamin E, monounsaturated fat and dietary fiber, which can effectively reduce the risk of heart disease.
Almond is a beauty product for both internal and external use. There are two kinds: bitter and sweet. Bitter almond, also known as North Apricot, mainly contains amygdalin, protein and various amino acids, which can relieve cough and asthma, moisten intestines and relax bowels when taken orally. Sweet almond contains vitamin A, vitamin B 1, B2, C, fat, protein, iron, calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements, and has the function of tonifying deficiency and moistening lung. Almond mainly acts on lung meridian, and "lung governs fur". Almond is a natural plant skin care product whether taken orally or externally.

Fatty oil can moisten skin, and volatile oil can stimulate blood vessel expansion of skin, improve blood circulation and nutritional status of skin, moisturize face, reduce facial wrinkles and delay skin aging; It can also play an anesthetic and antipruritic role on the local meridian-replenishing ends of the skin. The cream made from it can form a sebum film on the skin surface when applied to the face, which can not only moisturize the skin, keep the skin elastic, but also treat various skin diseases such as pigmented nevus. Almonds are also excellent raw materials for modern beauty masks. The method is to soak almonds in hot water for 2 hours, dry them and grind them into very fine powder, then mix them with water to form a thin paste, apply them to the face for 20 minutes, then wash them with warm water, and apply nutritional moisturizer once a week to make the facial skin smooth and delicate.
