The Efficacy and Effects of Drinking Water Infused with Sterculia Lychnophora Seeds

Drinking water infused with Sterculia lychnophora seeds offers various significant health benefits. It can clear heat and moisten the lungs, effectively alleviating symptoms such as sore throat and dry cough without phlegm, and is particularly suitable for treating throat discomfort caused by lung dryness. Sterculia lychnophora has the effect of soothing the throat and improving voice clarity, providing good relief for hoarseness and dry throat. Additionally, it helps moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation caused by excessive internal heat in the large intestine. Moreover, Sterculia lychnophora is rich in water-soluble polysaccharides and can be effective in treating sore throat and hoarseness caused by infection with wind-heat pathogens. However, it should be noted that Sterculia lychnophora has a sweet and cold nature; long-term excessive consumption may burden the stomach and spleen. It cannot cure vocal cord nodules or polyps, so it should be consumed in appropriate amounts under medical guidance.
