It can protect the throat and treat hoarseness, cough, sore throat and other symptoms caused by wind-heat attacking the lungs. It can be used for symptoms such as lung fire dry cough, sore throat and loss of voice, dry intestines and constipation.

When buying monk fruit, you can choose a large, round one, preferably one that does not make a sound when shaken and whose shell does not break. Because monk fruit needs to be dried, you must choose roasted monk fruit, otherwise it is prone to problems such as mold and insects.

2. White radish

According to traditional Chinese medicine, white radish is white in color and belongs to the element of gold, which corresponds to the lung among the five internal organs. It is sweet and mild in nature and spicy in taste, and belongs to the lung and spleen meridians. It has the effects of lowering qi, digesting food, eliminating diseases and moistening the lungs, detoxifying and promoting body fluid, and being a diuretic and laxative. It is mainly used to treat pulmonary atrophy, lung heat, constipation, vomiting blood, bloating, food stagnation, indigestion, excessive phlegm, and obstructed urination and defecation.

You can boil water and eat radish, and use it with sugar and shredded ginger to treat cold cough; use it with chrysanthemum and honeysuckle to treat hot cough; use it with white fungus and lily to treat dry cough; use it with hawthorn and malt to treat cough caused by indigestion. Personally, I think white radish is the safest food therapy. It can be used at any time except when taking tonic medicine for cough due to physical weakness.
