In fact, in addition to being steamed into essence, fresh orange peels also have high utilization value. Their health benefits are also excellent and they have some benefits to the human body.

The efficacy and function of fresh orange peel

1. Relieve motion sickness

Many people often experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other adverse symptoms when riding in a car or boat. People call these symptoms motion sickness or seasickness, and fresh orange peels have obvious therapeutic effects on these adverse symptoms. People can carry some fresh orange peels when riding in a car or boat. When they feel unwell, take out the fresh orange peels, fold them in half, put them under the nose and squeeze them hard. At this time, the moisture will spray out and can be absorbed by the human body through the nipples and nostrils, thus alleviating the symptoms of motion sickness and seasickness.

2. Expectorant and cough relieving

Fresh orange peel has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough after being made into dried tangerine peel, and this effect of fresh orange peel is also quite outstanding. When people have adverse symptoms such as coughing and sputum, they can directly use fresh orange peel, ginger, brown sugar and other ingredients into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and boil it. After cooking, take out and drink the soup to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, which can make the human respiratory system recover as soon as possible.

3. Increase appetite

Increasing appetite and promoting digestion is also a major effect of fresh orange peel, because fresh orange peel contains dried orange peel and rich volatile oil. When people are cooking porridge or soup, they can wash and chop the fresh orange peel and put it directly into the porridge or soup. This will make the porridge or soup have a faint orange fragrance, which can make people feel like their appetite is being whetted. The volatile oil it contains can also stimulate the stomach and intestines, speed up gastrointestinal motility, and speed up the digestion and absorption of food in the stomach and intestines.

4. Vitamin Supplements

Although the taste of fresh orange peel is not as good as that of orange pulp, it also contains many vitamins that are beneficial to the human body. The content of vitamin A and vitamin C is relatively high. When people put high-quality fresh orange peel in cooking or cooking soup, the body can absorb and utilize the vitamins it contains, which can meet the body's needs for these vitamins during normal metabolism.
