Diet Tips: Health Wisdom of Flowers and Plants in Dragon Boat Festival (2)

Dragon Boat Festival is a dangerous solar term. In these ten days, the ancients especially had clear taboos and Buddhism to take care of themselves. It was forbidden to kill and commit adultery, otherwise it would seriously hurt the body, the spirit and the essence.

Chinese medicine believes that there is plenty of rain before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it often rains continuously. The air is humid and fierce. But at this time, the human body is not rich in yang, and the external evil is fierce, which is easy to germinate various diseases and discomfort symptoms.

At this time, it also happens to be the season when flowers and plants grow vigorously. The ancients used local materials and chose the third kind of health flower-grapefruit leaves. As the name implies, grapefruit leaves are naturally grapefruit leaves, and now it is the period of vigorous growth. The grapefruit leaves of Dragon Boat Festival are often used for hanging, boiling water for drinking, bathing and soaking in wine. Boiling water with grapefruit leaves can dispel wind and relieve pain, dispel cold and remove dampness, and promote digestion. At the same time, pomelo leaf tea can also improve vision and prevent fine lines from appearing in the eyes. Boiling grapefruit leaves to wash your face can achieve moisturizing effect.
