What is the medicinal value of osmanthus seeds

I believe that most of my friends have never seen osmanthus seeds. In fact, it is extremely rare for osmanthus trees to bear fruit, especially in northern my country where osmanthus trees generally do not bear fruit. Occasionally, if they bear fruit, people will consider it a great spectacle. It is also rare for osmanthus trees to bear fruit in the south. In fact, the fruit of the osmanthus tree, that is, osmanthus seeds, have very good medicinal value. Let me briefly introduce it below.

Osmanthus seeds are warm in nature and spicy in taste. They enter the heart, spleen, liver and stomach meridians. They promote qi and resolve phlegm, stop bleeding and disperse blood stasis. They are mainly used to treat phlegm, cough, intestinal wind and bloody diarrhea, hernia, toothache, bad breath and other diseases. Every 100 grams contains 63 grams of water, 0.6 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat and 8 grams of carbohydrates. They also contain a variety of aromatic substances. Flower wax contains hydrocarbons, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and other substances. The aromatic substances contained in osmanthus can dilute sputum and promote the discharge of respiratory fluid, and have the effect of resolving phlegm, relieving cough and relieving asthma. Promote qi and relieve pain, disperse blood and stop diarrhea. Osmanthus is spicy and has the function of promoting qi, relieving pain, dispersing blood and removing blood stasis, and promoting the excretion of intestinal turbid substances and expelling intestinal wind and bloody diarrhea.

The sweet fragrance of osmanthus can remove bad breath and kill bacteria in the mouth. It is a good food therapy for patients with bad breath. It has the effects of whitening the skin, eliminating toxins in the body, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and nourishing the lungs. Many people feel dry skin or hoarseness due to getting too hot in the summer. Adding some osmanthus seeds to green tea or oolong tea can help relieve the symptoms.

This is a brief introduction to the important values ​​of osmanthus seeds. In fact, not only osmanthus has a strong fragrance, but also the osmanthus seeds have a unique aroma. Osmanthus seeds are plump in appearance, orange-yellow in color, and about 2 cm in length. It should be noted that since it is difficult for osmanthus trees to bear fruit, osmanthus seeds are relatively rare. When purchasing, be careful of unscrupulous merchants who may sell inferior products as good ones.
