(Summary of medical prescriptions)
Oranges: Chinese medicine believes that oranges have the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, resolving phlegm and strengthening the spleen, promoting qi circulation and quenching thirst. It is an excellent fruit for men, women and children (especially the elderly, patients with acute and chronic bronchitis and cardiovascular diseases). Oranges are treasures: not only the pulp has high medicinal value, but also its skin, core, collaterals and leaves are "authentic medicinal materials". Orange peel, medically known as "dried tangerine peel", has the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, relieving cough, strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, and is often used to prevent and treat chest pain, hernia, breast distension, breast lump, stomachache and dyspepsia. Its stone is called "orange stone", which has the effect of dispersing stagnation and relieving pain. Clinically, it is often used to treat testicular swelling and pain and mastitis swelling and pain. Orange collaterals, that is, reticular meridians on orange pulp, have the effects of dredging collaterals, eliminating phlegm, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation, and are often used to treat phlegm and blood stasis cough. Because orange collaterals are rich in vitamin P, it can effectively prevent and treat hypertension, and it is good for the elderly to eat more. Orange leaves have the effects of soothing the liver, regulating qi, reducing swelling and detoxifying, and are important drugs for treating hypochondriac pain and breast swelling pain. The white inner layer of orange peel is scraped off, and only the epidermis is called "orange red", which has the effects of regulating lung qi and resolving phlegm, and is often used to treat cough and hiccup in clinic.
Oranges are rich in sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), vitamins, malic acid, citric acid, protein, fat, dietary fiber and various minerals. A recent study by Australian scientific and industrial research institutions shows that eating/kloc-0 oranges a day can protect people from certain cancers (such as oral cancer, laryngeal cancer and gastric cancer).
Disadvantages: Although oranges have many benefits, you should eat them often instead of eating more. Chinese medicine believes that oranges are warm and easy to get angry when eaten too much, which will lead to symptoms such as aphtha, dry mouth, dry throat and constipation. Because orange pulp contains certain organic acids, it is best not to eat oranges on an empty stomach, so as not to stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. In addition, oranges also contain a lot of carotene. If you eat too much at one time or eat too much continuously in the near future, the concentration of carotene in the blood is high, which will lead to yellowing of the skin. At this time, in addition to drinking more water, we should not eat orange fruits for the time being, and we should also limit the intake of foods rich in carotene. After about 1 month, the skin color will return to normal.
