1. How to roast oranges to treat cough

1. Roast directly with fire

Choose fresh, ripe oranges and wash and dry them in advance. When roasting oranges, place the oranges about 10 cm away from the core of the fire. You can set up a wire mesh, which will be more convenient. Keep turning the orange peels over during the baking process until they are dry and slightly charred.

2. Roast in a pan

Choose fresh, ripe oranges and wash and dry them in advance. Put the pot on the fire and dry it, then put the prepared oranges in and heat them over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula until the oranges are slightly charred, steaming and fragrant.

2. How to control the temperature when roasting oranges

It is very important to control the temperature when roasting oranges. Roast them slowly over low heat. It is best to bake the oranges until the peel is dry and slightly charred. This way, the effective ingredients in the peel will basically seep into the orange flesh, and the vitamins and minerals in the flesh will not be destroyed. At this time, if you want to eat the peel together, it will not be very bitter. If it is roasted too lightly, very few effective ingredients in the orange peel will penetrate into the orange flesh, making the peel difficult to swallow and not having much effect. If the orange flesh is too burnt, the vitamins and minerals in it will be destroyed.

3. Should orange peel be eaten?

Tangerine peel can be eaten. It contains more effective ingredients for treating cough. The effect will be better if you eat it together with the orange peel. However, during the baking process, the effective ingredients in the orange peel will basically seep into the orange flesh, so if you think the orange peel is too unpalatable, you can just eat the orange flesh. Also, don't eat the orange peel if it's burnt.

1. Pay attention to the right medicine for the right condition

Although cough is a very common symptom of discomfort, there are many types of coughs. In traditional Chinese medicine, coughs are divided into exogenous coughs and endogenous coughs, and exogenous coughs are further divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. Different cough medicines are completely unnecessary. Roasted oranges are suitable for cold coughs, and the right medicine must be used. Moreover, the medicinal properties of roasted oranges are not strong, and they can only be used as an auxiliary means or dietary therapy for treating coughs. If there are also superficial symptoms such as fever, fear of cold, soreness and laziness, seek medical attention promptly.

Each orange weighs about 50 grams, so you can eat 1 to 2 oranges a day. You don’t need to eat too many, as eating too many may cause getting a sore throat. Be careful not to eat the oranges immediately after roasting as they may burn your mouth. Wait until the temperature is right before eating them.

Although roasted oranges are very effective for coughs, they are not suitable for everyone. After being roasted, orange peel will become similar to tangerine peel. Tangerine peel is suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, and phlegm and dampness constitution, but it is not suitable for people with strong fire and no obvious phlegm and dampness symptoms.
