What are the benefits of steaming watermelon

1. Steamed watermelon can cure liver ascites

Steamed watermelon can cure ascites, but you should add an appropriate amount of garlic when steaming the watermelon. You can dig a hole on the surface of the watermelon, then put the garlic into the watermelon, cover the cut mouth of the watermelon with the rind, and then steam it in a pot. After steaming, take out the garlic and eat the pulp, which can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and can significantly improve the symptoms of ascites and cirrhosis.

2. Steamed watermelon can relieve heat and relieve fever

Watermelon is cold in nature and can relieve heat and detoxify. Normally, watermelon is very cold and people with weak spleen and stomach cannot eat it. After steaming the watermelon, its coldness will be weakened, but the effect of relieving heat and detoxification will not change, so people with weak spleen and stomach can also eat it. It can play an obvious role in relieving heat and reducing fever, and can reduce the occurrence of heatstroke symptoms.

3. Steamed watermelon can cure jaundice

Steamed watermelon has a good therapeutic effect on jaundice. When treating, you can cut the watermelon and take out some of the pulp, soak the red beans and put them in the watermelon, cover the small mouth, and steam it in a pot. After steaming, take out the watermelon and red beans and eat them twice a day. This can significantly reduce the symptoms of jaundice. This method is most effective when used at the beginning of jaundice.
