Dr. Shen Yonghua
Drinking water infused with orange peel offers multiple health benefits. Orange peel is rich in vitamin C and essential oils; drinking it can help refresh the mind, relieve bloating and stomach pain caused by indigestion, and aid in digestion. It also has effects of relieving cough, reducing phlegm, strengthening the spleen, and stimulating the appetite, thus providing auxiliary treatment for symptoms such as cough caused by colds and loss of appetite. Moreover, the flavonoids in orange peel have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, which can help enhance immune function and delay aging. However, it should be noted that orange peel water should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
