Nature and flavor of oranges

Oranges are a fruit that we often eat, but apart from knowing that oranges can cause internal heat, people don’t know much about the nature and flavor of oranges and their meridians. First of all, oranges are very cold foods, and their flavors are sweet and sour-sweet. They mainly enter the lungs and stomach, and have the effects of stimulating the appetite, stopping vomiting and coughing, and moistening the lungs. They are of great help to people who suffer from indigestion, loss of appetite, and recent coughs who are suffering from high blood pressure and high blood lipids. However, patients with diabetes, gastric ulcers, and other such conditions should try to eat less oranges.
