Everyone has some phlegm in his body, which affects all aspects of his body. Eliminating phlegm and dampness is a very important topic for health preservation. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae is used in most phlegm-resolving prescriptions, such as Erchen Decoction, which is Pinellia ternata plus Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, and there is Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae in Wendan Decoction. This is mainly because dried tangerine peel is like a drilling rig, which can hit the sputum nucleus to disintegrate each other from the inside. In addition, dried tangerine peel also has the function of regulating qi, promoting qi and smoothing qi, and eliminating phlegm.

Step 3 remove moisture

Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae itself has fragrance, and the fragrance can dehumidify. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae is dry, so it can be dehumidified. Therefore, the easiest way for people with heavy body moisture is to drink some Chenpi tea every day to discharge some moisture. Of course, dehumidification is not what Chenpi is best at. If you use dried tangerine peel to remove dampness, you can add some poria cocos, and the effect will be better.

2. Don't use fresh orange peel instead of dried tangerine peel.

Some people may think that dried tangerine peel is made of orange peel anyway, and it is impossible to replace dried tangerine peel with fresh orange peel. Fresh orange peel contains a lot of volatile oil, which will stimulate the mucosa and cause digestive dysfunction when it enters the digestive tract. However, if it is stored for a long time, the volatile oil will decrease day by day, and the flavonoids will increase relatively after the next year, so as to better play its medicinal value.
