Both the peel and seeds of the yellow-skinned fruit (Clausena lansium) can be used medicinally. They have the effect of promoting saliva secretion and relieving thirst, helping to alleviate dry mouth and throat. They also aid digestion and relieve pain, serving as an adjunct in treating stomachache, rheumatic bone pain, and menstrual cramps. Additionally, the yellow-skinned fruit has diuretic properties that help reduce swelling, providing supportive treatment for gout, hyperuricemia, and nephritis. However, excessive consumption should be avoided; a general recommendation is not to exceed 15 grams.
The peel and seeds of the yellow-skinned fruit (clausena lansium) can both be used medicinally, possessing effects of promoting saliva secretion, quenching thirst, strengthening the stomach, relieving pain, promoting diuresis, and reducing edema.
Yellow-skinned fruit is an example of a substance that serves as both food and medicine. Its pulp has a sweet-sour taste and can stimulate saliva production and relieve thirst. Consuming an appropriate amount during summer helps alleviate symptoms such as dry mouth and throat. It may also be used appropriately to ease discomfort in patients with sore and swollen throats. The fruit also aids digestion and relieves stomach pain, and has certain adjunctive therapeutic effects on conditions such as gastric pain, rheumatic joint pain, and menstrual cramps. Additionally, due to its diuretic and anti-swelling properties, it can assist in managing gout, hyperuricemia, and nephritis.
Although the yellow-skinned fruit has certain medicinal value and health benefits when consumed, it should be eaten in moderation. Excessive consumption may lead to side effects; generally, intake should not exceed 15 grams. Moreover, while this fruit may provide supportive benefits in treating certain diseases, it should only be considered a complementary approach. Individuals suffering from medical conditions should seek timely medical attention and follow proper treatment regimens prescribed by healthcare professionals.
