Dr. Shen Yonghua
Boiling tangerine peel, hawthorn, and sliced ginger in water for consumption offers multiple health benefits. It helps regulate the functions of the spleen and stomach; both tangerine peel and hawthorn aid digestion by stimulating the digestive system and promoting food digestion and absorption. Ginger warms the middle jiao and relieves vomiting, especially for vomiting caused by cold stomach conditions. Additionally, this beverage helps promote qi circulation and relieve food stagnation, alleviate cough with phlegm, and resolve exterior cold syndromes. The volatile oils in tangerine peel can increase gastric juice secretion and enhance gastrointestinal motility, while ginger stimulates gastric mucosal secretion and helps reduce the frequency of stomach pain. Drinking tangerine peel, hawthorn, and ginger water can aid digestion, relieve stomach pain, and reduce stress, but should be consumed in moderation to avoid adverse effects from excessive intake.
