Pomegranate peel has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, reducing swelling and alleviating pain, and promoting diuresis to reduce edema. It can be used to treat diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, cough, hepatitis, and nephritis, as well as conditions like hemorrhoids, scrofula, and dysmenorrhea. In addition, pomegranate peel has certain preventive benefits, helping eliminate toxins from the body, preventing infections, promoting blood circulation, enhancing immunity, and improving the body's resistance to disease. However, it should be noted that pomegranate peel may also have some side effects. Individuals with diabetes, liver disease, or kidney disease should take it only under medical supervision. Moreover, it is not recommended during pregnancy.
