How to drink Sterculia lychnophora soaked in water

As we all know, Pangdahai is a very common medicine for treating throat in our lives. Most people will soak Pangdahai in water when drinking it. Drinking the water soaked in Pangdahai can not only clear the lungs and relieve throat, but also relieve cough. Moreover, the water soaked in Pangdahai tastes sweeter. It is more suitable for both adults and children. The effect will be better if you drink it for a long time. So what is the method of soaking Pangdahai in water?

Pangdahai tea has the effects of clearing lung heat, relieving throat, detoxifying, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. It is used for hoarseness caused by lung heat, sore throat, constipation due to heat, and excessive use of the voice. However, it only has a certain auxiliary effect on sore throat and acute tonsillitis caused by exogenous factors. As for hoarseness caused by vocal cord nodules, vocal cord polyps, incomplete vocal cord closure, excessive stimulation from smoking and drinking, etc., the use of Sterculia lychnophora is ineffective.

Modern medical research has found that after entering our body, Plantago ovata can promote the peristalsis of the small intestine very well, so there will be some slight laxative effect. Therefore, Sterculia lychnophora has the effect of treating constipation, which means that people with poor stomachs need to pay special attention when taking Sterculia lychnophora. They must not take it for a long time, otherwise it will easily damage our gastrointestinal health and endanger their health.

In addition, Sterculia lychnophora also has the effect of lowering blood pressure. If patients with high blood pressure take it, it can greatly promote their health. However, if people with low blood pressure take Sterculia lychnophora for a long time, it may lead to low blood pressure, which is a serious threat to life and health. Therefore, Sterculia lychnophora is a kind of medicinal material. In daily life, you must not soak Sterculia lychnophora in water and drink it as tea.

In addition, the water-extracted extracts of the skin, soft shell and kernel of Sterculia lychnophora have certain analgesic effects, with the kernel having the strongest effect. The analgesic principle is currently unknown, but it is certain that if the analgesic effect is caused by inhibiting the central nervous system, long-term use of Sterculia lychnophora may be potentially dangerous. Moreover, Sterculia lychnophora is a pure Chinese medicine and naturally has certain toxicity. Unlike those ingredients that are both food and medicine, Sterculia lychnophora soaked in water must pass through the kidneys and liver. Drinking too much will also cause a burden on these two organs.

The correct way to take Pangdahai

Since Sterculia lychnophora has side effects, how should we consume it? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Sterculia lychnophora can only be used for medicinal purposes, and that it must be "used for the right symptoms and stopped when it works." For example, for acute tonsillitis, use 3 to 5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora, soak them in boiling water for two or three days, and stop using it after the symptoms are relieved. For dry sore throat and hoarseness caused by wind-heat cold, use 5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora and 3 grams of licorice to make tea for two or three days. If it works, you should stop taking it. If it doesn't work, see a doctor immediately.
