Introduction
Peel and cut the pear into pieces, then place it into a steaming bowl along with Fritillaria cirrhosa. Add an appropriate amount of water and steam the mixture over water for 1-2 hours. Take it after meals. Pears have the effects of promoting saliva production, relieving dryness, clearing heat, and detoxifying. When used together with Fritillaria cirrhosa, they can enhance the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Although Fritillaria cirrhosa is effective for cough relief, it is not suitable for all types of cough symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
Generally, Fritillaria (Chuan Bei) can be used in various ways to achieve better cough-relieving effects, such as stewing with pears, making honey water, preparing loquats syrup, taking Fritillaria powder with warm water, or cooking in soups. Specific methods are as follows:
1. Fritillaria Stewed with Pears: Peel and cut pears into pieces, then place them in a stewing bowl with Fritillaria. Add an appropriate amount of water and stew over low heat for 1-2 hours. Take it after meals. Pears have the effect of promoting saliva production, moistening dryness, clearing heat, and detoxifying. Combined with Fritillaria, they enhance the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough.
2. Fritillaria Honey Water: Mix Fritillaria powder with honey and dilute with warm water. Take 2-3 times daily. Honey has the effect of moistening the lungs and soothing the throat. When used with Fritillaria, it can more effectively relieve cough symptoms.
3. Fritillaria Loquat Syrup: Prepared into a syrup together with loquat leaves, honey, and other ingredients. Take an appropriate amount daily as directed, preferably after meals. Loquat leaves help clear the lungs, relieve coughing, harmonize the stomach, and reduce nausea. Combined with Fritillaria and honey, this syrup helps relieve cough and sore throat.
4. Fritillaria Powder with Warm Water: Grind Fritillaria into fine powder and take with hot water. Each dose should not be excessive, and it is generally recommended to use under a doctor's guidance. Fritillaria powder acts directly on the respiratory tract, clearing heat, moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough. It is also convenient to take.
5. Fritillaria Soup: Fritillaria can be cooked together with other ingredients such as chicken or lean meat for 2-3 hours, then seasoned and consumed. Chicken or lean meat is rich in nutrients. When combined with Fritillaria in soup, it enhances the effect of nourishing yin, moistening the lungs, and relieving cough and phlegm.
Although Fritillaria has cough-relieving effects, it is not suitable for all types of cough. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is recommended. Additionally, when using Fritillaria for cough relief, it is important to use appropriate amounts and avoid excessive intake that may cause physical discomfort.
