Can Epiphyllum be eaten

Speaking of Epiphyllum, many friends will think of Epiphyllum. This is mainly because the blooming time of Epiphyllum is relatively short, and the smell of Epiphyllum is very unique, and it has a good bactericidal effect. If you place an Epiphyllum indoors, it is not only very beautiful, but also can effectively purify the indoor air. And we all know that many flowers are actually edible, so, can Epiphyllum be eaten?

However, if we analyze Epiphyllum from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also a good medicinal material that has the effect of regulating the body. The most common use of Epiphyllum is to clear away heat and relieve cough. Epiphyllum has a relatively good effect in treating long-term cough. Therefore, Epiphyllum is edible.

For some friends who often suffer from palpitations or always suffer from insomnia, it is beneficial to drink some Epiphyllum flower tea regularly. Epiphyllum is also very effective in treating impatience and insomnia. It also has obvious effects in relieving gas and relieving pain for heart and stomach pain caused by palpitations, insomnia, poor mental state or other reasons.

Usually when we use hot water to brew fresh Epiphyllum, we can also add some rock sugar to mix and drink it. Rock sugar is warm in nature. When brewed with Epiphyllum, it can not only relieve cough and phlegm, but also has the effect of clearing blood and detoxifying. Its heat-clearing effect can also treat large intestine heat syndrome, and has a certain therapeutic effect on constipation and bloody stools caused by it.

In addition to adding rock sugar to brew the drink, we can also mix Epiphyllum and honey together to drink, or put some Epiphyllum in the stewed meat, and then pour in an appropriate amount of rice wine or add medicinal materials such as Rehmannia glutinosa and Cassia seed to stew together. After stewing, not only will the meat taste delicious, but it can also effectively prevent and treat high blood pressure and high blood lipids after consumption.

Now you know the answer to the question of whether Epiphyllum can be eaten. Although Epiphyllum has the above-mentioned effects, because Epiphyllum itself is cold in nature, it is best not to drink Epiphyllum tea for friends with cold stomach. Even if you don't have a cold stomach, Epiphyllum can cause some harm to your stomach and intestines. You only need to drink it in moderation, but don't drink it for a long time.
