Is it true that bayberry can be used to make medicine?

There are many folk sayings that using bayberry to soak medicine can treat various diseases, but this has no scientific basis, and some people have even lost their lives because of it. So when it comes to the bayberry season, people should not believe these sayings and use bayberry to soak medicine. Bayberry is just a fruit that can supplement vitamins and other nutrients. Even if it is used to soak medicine, it has no other effects.

1. Overview

Every year when it is the season to eat bayberry, everyone will pick some fresh bayberry to eat, and many people like to soak bayberry in salt water when eating it, so that some insects can be expelled well. In fact, many people think that the bayberry can soak the insects and it will not harm the body if eaten. Although bayberry is a very good fruit, if you are not careful, eating some bayberry with insects may have an impact on our body. So is it reliable to soak the bayberry and it will not harm you if you eat it?

2. Steps/Methods:

1 In fact, many people usually soak bayberries in salt water for more than half an hour before eating them for the sake of hygiene. The pesticides can be expelled by soaking them. However, many people think that if there are small insects in the soaked bayberries, eating such bayberries will not harm the body.

2 In fact, the insects of bayberry are a kind of fly. When the bayberry is not yet ripe, the mother insect begins to lay eggs on the surface of the grain, but after the eggs hatch, the larvae will drill into the flesh. However, eating the insects and the small caterpillars that rush in at night will not cause any harm to the human body.

3 Some insects may indicate that there is very little pesticide in the fruit, or even no pesticide at all, which is more natural and ecological. However, it does not mean that bayberry without insects will still contain pesticides. This statement is also wrong. It is also possible that fruit farmers have done a good job in disease and pest control, so these are all possibilities.

3. Notes

When you eat bayberry, it is best to soak it in salt water to expel the insects. Although these insects do not cause harm to our bodies, we must pay attention to hygiene to avoid physical effects.
