Why eat oranges to get angry, but drink orange peel water to get rid of the fire?

It's right to eat oranges and get angry, but drinking orange peel water is not to get rid of the fire. On the contrary, Chinese medicine believes that orange peel is inflamed, but the degree is extremely slight. A small amount of orange peel water gives people the feeling of removing fire, because drinking water and drinking boiled water when getting angry also have the feeling of removing fire; If you drink a lot of orange peel water, or even eat orange peel directly, it will lead to excessive internal heat (note that there are many).

Chenpi is a traditional Chinese medicine. Commonly used functions include regulating qi, invigorating stomach, resolving phlegm, and stopping vomiting. It is not eaten in large quantities, and there is no problem of getting angry without getting angry.

But! Now most orange peels contain preservatives and pesticides, so don't soak them in water-especially pregnant women and children. If you need dried tangerine peel, find a reliable Chinese medicine shop to buy ready-made dried tangerine peel. Tongrentang is recognized as the best in China. The quality of raw materials is very strict, and of course the price is relatively expensive.

Add:

1. The road to health should be treated dialectically. There are many amateur experts, and the media are also good at taking programs out of context.

2. The so-called "eating food, try to eat a whole one, so that the nutrition is balanced and will not hurt the body. This is the theory of Chinese medicine. "

This is not a theory of Chinese medicine, but a view taken for granted by laymen who have never studied Chinese medicine.

3. The so-called "a whole food is neutral, but it has different attributes when viewed separately."

Traditional Chinese medicine clearly divides drugs into cold and heat, and any cold drug refers to the function of clearing away heat and purging fire, cooling serum and detoxifying heat. Any medicine that warms the interior to dispel cold, tonifies fire to help yang, warms meridians and unblocks collaterals, and restores yang to save the adverse. It can also be applied to food. But only part of it is "Ping" (so-called "neutrality", a word unknown to Chinese medicine, invented by amateur health experts).

Note: According to Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, the four qi mainly refer to four aspects: cold, hot, warm and cool. Li Shizhen improved this statement in Compendium of Materia Medica, and put forward "five natures, cold, hot, warm, cool and flat", which was more recognized by later Chinese medicine practitioners.
