Loquat膏 is mainly made by stewing fresh loquat pears, honey, Sichuan Fritillary Bulb (Fritillaria cirrhosa), and other ingredients. It has various functions and benefits, specifically manifested in the following aspects:
1. Moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough: Loquat膏 can moisturize the lungs and help improve coughing and phlegm production, making it suitable for individuals suffering from lung heat-induced cough.
2. Phlegm-resolving effect: It can help clear accumulated phlegm in the lungs, alleviate respiratory inflammation, and serve as an auxiliary treatment for chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and other related conditions.
3. Relieving constipation and clearing internal heat: Loquat膏 has a cool nature and can dispel internal heat pathogens after consumption, helping to reduce excessive internal heat and aiding gastrointestinal digestion.
4. Clearing the mind and calming the nerves: Loquat膏 also has the effect of calming the mind and relieving restlessness, thereby providing some regulation for symptoms such as insomnia and palpitations.
Loquat膏 is a health product that combines functions of clearing heat, moisturizing the lungs, relieving cough, resolving phlegm, nourishing yin, and improving complexion. It is especially suitable for consumption during dry autumn weather and for individuals with a constitution prone to internal heat. However, individuals with diabetes or a cold-spleen-and-stomach constitution should use it with caution.
