Kumquat lemon paste
Overview
Winter is the peak season for respiratory diseases. The weather is dry and cold, and the baby doesn't like to drink water at this time, which is really a headache. Rock sugar is sweet in taste and calm in nature, and enters the lung and spleen meridians; it has the effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, harmonizing the stomach and moistening the lungs; kumquat is sweet and warm in nature, and can regulate qi, relieve depression, and resolve phlegm. Lemon reduces phlegm and relieves cough, promotes fluid production and strengthens the stomach. It has a fragrant smell and is rich in vitamin C. Regular appetite can enhance immunity and prevent scurvy. I accidentally saw this lemon ointment on the Internet, which was said to be effective in treating coughs in children. I don’t know if it’s true or false. I thought it would be delicious, so I researched how to make it. Anyway, my purpose is to coax my son to drink more water. It would be better if it could cure the cough, right?
