Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the yellow-skinned fruit has various effects and benefits such as clearing heat and promoting urination, stimulating saliva and relieving thirst, aiding digestion and resolving food accumulation, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and improving skin condition. The yellow-skinned fruit is helpful in reducing internal heat. Specific details are as follows:
1. Clearing heat and promoting urination: The yellow-skinned fruit is cold in nature and possesses certain effects of clearing heat and promoting urination. It can be used as an adjunct in treating symptoms such as difficult urination, gonorrhea (淋病), and edema.
Generally, the Wampee fruit (Clausena lansium) has various health benefits and functions, including clearing heat and promoting urination, stimulating saliva production to relieve thirst, aiding digestion, moistening the lungs to relieve coughing, and improving skin condition. Specifically, it helps in reducing internal heat. Details are as follows:
1. Clearing Heat and Promoting Urination: Wampee fruit is cold in nature and possesses the effect of clearing internal heat and promoting urination. It can be used as an adjunct in treating symptoms such as difficult urination, urinary tract infections, and edema. These effects help eliminate heat toxins and dampness from the body, thus reducing internal heat.
2. Stimulating Saliva Production and Relieving Thirst: Wampee fruit has a sweet and sour taste that stimulates saliva secretion, helping to alleviate symptoms of dry mouth, throat dryness, and sore throat caused by excessive internal heat. Its ability to promote saliva production helps maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance, further reducing internal heat.
3. Aiding Digestion and Relieving Food Stagnation: Wampee fruit is rich in organic acids and dietary fiber, which promote intestinal motility and aid digestion, preventing excessive food accumulation that may lead to internal heat. Its digestive properties improve gastrointestinal function and reduce the likelihood of heat-related conditions.
4. Maintaining Lung Health and Relieving Cough: Wampee fruit helps moisten the lungs and relieve coughing, alleviating symptoms such as cough due to lung heat and phlegm production. By supporting lung function and reducing lung heat, Wampee fruit contributes to improved respiratory health.
5. Improving Skin Condition: Wampee fruit is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help eliminate free radicals in the body, reducing skin inflammation and allergic reactions. By improving skin condition, Wampee fruit indirectly contributes to reducing internal heat.
Due to its relatively high sugar content, individuals with diabetes or unstable blood sugar levels should consume Wampee fruit cautiously.
