The benefits of drinking orange peel soaked in water

Orange peel itself is a good thing. It is a traditional Chinese medicine and is often used as a condiment by the people. From a pharmacological point of view, it has the effects of regulating qi, strengthening the stomach, resolving phlegm, and stopping vomiting. It has no adverse side effects. Because of these benefits of orange peel, and the fact that orange peel is easy to source, cheap and easy to use, some people like to use orange peel to brew tea directly. However, brewing tea in this way is very harmful.

This is not because orange peels are bad in themselves, but because oranges are often infested with insect pests during their growth, and fruit farmers often use pesticides to kill them, leaving many toxins on the orange peels that are difficult to remove and wash off. If you drink it as tea, it is extremely harmful, causing nausea and vomiting at the least, and even fatal at the worst. In addition, in order to keep oranges fresh during circulation, they are often soaked or sprinkled with preservatives, which keeps the orange flesh fresh, but the orange peels are seriously polluted and contaminated with many toxins.
