Xinhui aged tangerine peel, originating from Xinhui in Guangdong, is highly regarded as a genuine medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It is made from the outer peel of citrus fruits from the Rutaceae family and its cultivated varieties, often referred to as Guangchen Pi in medicine. Xinhui aged tangerine peel is dried or subjected to low-temperature drying, and through the test of time, its warm and dry properties are softened, enhancing its medicinal effects.
Xinhui aged tangerine peel is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and natural volatile oils, which are greatly beneficial for health. They can effectively inhibit the growth of pathogens in the body and strengthen the body’s anti-inflammatory capabilities. Regularly drinking tangerine peel infused water can help prevent common inflammations such as bronchitis, pharyngitis, and stomatitis.
The health benefits of tangerine peel are extensive and manifest in several areas: – Promoting digestion: The volatile oils can stimulate gastric juice secretion, which effectively improves poor appetite and indigestion. – Expectoration and cough relief: It alleviates respiratory issues such as coughing and phlegm. – Antioxidation: It contains flavonoids and citric acid, which help resist aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. – Promoting sleep: Its warm properties and oxalic acid components can enhance sleep quality. – Oral and gastrointestinal care: It helps to dispel phlegm and cough, promote Qi and dampness elimination, and alleviate bad breath and diarrhea symptoms.
When paired with other ingredients to make infused water, tangerine peel can further enhance its health benefits: – Consuming with honey aids digestion and soothes the throat. – Combining with red dates nourishes the stomach and strengthens the spleen, harmonizing Qi and blood. – Adding longan and goji berries enriches the liver and kidneys and regulates the nervous system. – Mixing with chrysanthemum makes for a drink that clears heat, detoxifies, calms the mind, and lowers blood pressure.
Despite the numerous benefits of tangerine peel, special populations such as pregnant women, children, and the elderly should consume it in moderation to ensure safety and health.
