Eriobotrya leaf is a treasure. The new edition of Materia Medica records: "Eriobotrya leaves are bitter, flat and nontoxic. Enter the lung meridian, stop coughing, reduce breath, stop vomiting and quench thirst. Hair removal is only used to stop cough due to yin deficiency. He can't cough. " However, loquat, like other fruits with dietotherapy function, can't be eaten more. For example, there is a saying in "Resting on Food": "Eating more helps dampness to produce phlegm, and those who have diarrhea due to spleen deficiency should avoid it."

"Many people think that loquat cream is made of loquat, which is a typical meaning. In fact, the main raw material of loquat cream with real cough relieving effect is not loquat fruit, but loquat leaves. This is also one of the reasons why many netizens have poor results after taking it. " Shen Bo, an attending Chinese physician in the Department of Geriatrics, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that loquat pulp was rarely used as medicine in ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions. Then why is the loquat cream prescribed by the doctor sweet? That's not the sweetness of loquat pulp, it's made of honey or other sweet Chinese medicines.

Why is loquat leaf better than loquat fruit in relieving cough? Because in terms of efficacy, loquat leaves tend to relieve cough, loquat fruits tend to moisten the lungs to stop polydipsia, and loquat leaves also have the effect of resolving phlegm, so we often hear that "relieving cough and resolving phlegm" are all said together, and the direct cause of many readers' cough is also because they think that sputum in the respiratory tract is not easy to be discharged.

It should be pointed out that the processing of loquat leaves of real cough-relieving loquat cream is also complicated, and it is necessary to brush off the fluff of loquat leaves, wash them with water, moisten them slightly, shred them and dry them in the sun. To bake loquat leaves with honey, you need to shred loquat leaves, add refined honey and appropriate amount of boiling water, mix well, simmer for a while, put them in a pot and fry them with slow fire until they don't stick to your hands, take them out and let them cool.
