How to boil pear water to cure cough

1. Material preparation: a bag of polycrystalline rock sugar. No single crystal. (I heard this from an aunt when I was shopping in a supermarket 2 years ago.) The difference is: single crystals are translucent pure white regular small square grains; while polycrystalline ones are irregularly shaped yellowish blocks like crystals.

2. 2 pears. Try to get one that is juicy and thin-skinned. Chop the pears into small pieces.

3. Add appropriate amount of water into the pot. Heat until almost bubbling. Put appropriate amount of rock sugar into the water. Continue to heat over low heat. You can hear the crackling sound of rock sugar in the water.

4. Add pear cubes and continue to simmer over low heat. Turn off the heat after about 40-60 minutes. Drink it when it is slightly hot or cool down. I put the leftovers in the refrigerator and took them out to drink the next day. It was so refreshing! It was delicious.

Why should we drink pear water in autumn?

Pear juice contains sufficient water to relieve coughs caused by dryness, but it does not contain any special cough suppressant ingredients.

No research report on antitussive components was found in the literature on pear component analysis. It means that the glycosides in pears are the ingredients that suppress coughs. In fact, the full name of the glycosides mentioned here is "glycosides". They are a type of substance that can be hydrolyzed into sugars and are widely distributed in plants. Moreover, there is nothing special about the glycosides in pears. This bioalkali does have an antitussive effect, and the ingredients in Laiyang pears are mostly used to balance the taste. It is not difficult to find that large pears can replenish water and can relieve coughs caused by dryness to some extent. Especially for those who suffer from pharyngitis, eating two duck pears and replenishing water should be effective. But when it comes to cough relief, it is safer to find a reliable medicine.
