What are the benefits of orange peel?
Orange peel, also known as tangerine peel, is a common Chinese medicine for regulating qi, strengthening stomach and resolving phlegm. It has the functions of clearing away heat, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but it is not good for health.
With the improvement of planting technology and the application of fresh-keeping technology. In recent years, most of the oranges picked by fruit farmers are soaked with preservatives and then put on the market. The preservative is a kind of chemical agent. The soaked orange has no effect on the pulp, but the residual preservative on the orange peel is difficult to wash off with water. If such orange peel is used to make water instead of tea, the damage to health is obvious.
Even if the fresh orange skin instead of tea without preservative can not play its due effect. Orange peel is also known as orange peel, which means that the longer orange peel is aged, the better. Generally, it should be placed for another year before it can be used. Tao Hongjing, a famous physician in the northern and Southern Dynasties, proposed that "the orange peel with old age is better". According to the research, there is adrenaline like component in the decoction of tangerine peel, but it is more stable than adrenaline, and will not be destroyed when boiling. The content of volatile oil in tangerine peel decreased greatly after the next year, while the content of flavonoids increased relatively, then the medicinal value of tangerine peel can be fully developed.
