3. Boil eggplant in water to relieve cough

Eggplant is a vegetable that is commonly eaten in households, but the eggplant stem has always been considered waste and is directly cut off and thrown into the trash can. In fact, people are unknowingly discarding an effective cough suppressant.

Eggplant stems have many medicinal values, which are recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": burning them into ashes can cure mouth sores. Cut raw and rub to treat vitiligo. I won’t go into details about these, but will mainly talk about the effects of boiling eggplant in water in relieving cough.

1. Select fresh purple long eggplants, cut off the eggplant stems and wash them clean. It is important to note that you must choose "purple" and "long" eggplants, because purple eggplants have higher nutritional and medicinal value than white eggplants, and long eggplants have higher water content than round eggplants. As a cough suppressant, purple long eggplants are the best choice.

2. Wash the eggplants, dry them, and put them in the refrigerator to freeze until they are completely frozen. It will take about half a day. Eggplant stalks are cool in nature and have the effect of clearing away heat. After being frozen through, the coolness of the eggplant stalks is greatly increased, and they have a good therapeutic effect on lung heat and cough.

3. Next, you can directly use the frozen eggplant to boil water. It can be served five minutes after the water boils.

4. Take out the eggplant stems after taking them out of the pot, and drink water three times a day. The amount is not fixed, and drinking too much will not have any effect. If there are no symptoms of coughing, insisting on drinking can prevent it. Absolutely green "OTC" with no side effects.
