Garlic water and fried oranges

Overview

The weather has suddenly turned cold recently, and everyone in the family, including one old and one young, is suffering from colds and coughs. I heard about two small remedies that work well. For your first try, the oranges can be roasted slowly in a pot or directly over the fire. Just tried one of each. Baidu says that garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians. It is very effective in treating cold coughs and kidney deficiency coughs. It is also convenient and simple, and children are willing to drink it. Oranges are warm in nature and have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. After eating roasted oranges, the amount of phlegm will be significantly reduced, the antitussive effect is very obvious, and the children are willing to eat it.

Steps

  1. Take 4 to 5 cloves of garlic, smash and dice it, put it in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, add 2-3 grains of rock sugar, cover the bowl and put it into the pot to steam. Rock sugar can be added in moderation, because the elderly at home cannot eat anything too sweet, so this one has only a slight sweetness.

  7. After the oranges have cooled down a bit, peel off the peel and let the children eat the warm orange segments. If it is a large orange, adults can eat one, and children can eat 2 to 3 pieces at a time. If it is a small orange, children can eat one at a time. It is best to take it with garlic water, 2 to 3 times a day.
