Tangerine peel plays an important role in our daily life because it has a positive effect on the respiratory and digestive systems. Moreover, tangerine peel is bitter, spicy and warm in nature, and belongs to the lung and spleen meridians. It contains a large amount of volatile oils, vitamins, cellulose, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other ingredients, and has certain effects on regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm, etc. Therefore, tangerine peel is loved by many people, including more and more people who often drink tangerine peel water. So, how many years of tangerine peel is better for health preservation? Tangerine peel processing and sealed storageGenerally speaking, the older the tangerine peel is, the better. We should know not to eat moldy food for fear of wasting food. Tangerine peel is usually used to make soup and soak in water. However, we must not drink the soaked tangerine peel on an empty stomach. We must eat some staple food before drinking tangerine peel water. To prepare tangerine peel, the peel must be air-dried in the sun, then placed in a sealed device for 60 to 150 days, humidified with 80% humid air. After the peel softens, it is tied and fixed, air-dried, and then placed in the sun to dry, and finally sealed and stored. Unlike other Chinese medicinal materials, tangerine peel has the special property of being better with age. How many years does the tangerine peel have the best medicinal effect?The longer the tangerine peel is stored, the better its medicinal effect. Generally, it can be used only after one year. After one year, the volatile oil content of tangerine peel will be greatly reduced, while the content of flavonoid compounds will increase relatively. Only then can the medicinal value of tangerine peel be reflected. Fresh tangerine peel contains more volatile oil and does not have the medicinal effect of tangerine peel. The efficacy of tangerine peel is closely related to the length of aging time. For example, 3-year-old tangerine peel has just been transformed from tangerine peel and has not yet been fully aged. The heat of tangerine peel itself has not been completely removed, and some people will still experience heat after taking it. |
