Snow pear for cough relief during the period of the Waking of Insects
Overview
"Ben Cao Tong Xuan" says that eating pears has the effect of clearing the heat of the six internal organs when they are raw, and nourishing the yin of the five internal organs when they are ripe. Pears are cold in nature and sweet in taste. They belong to the lung and stomach meridians. Whether eaten raw, steamed, juiced, roasted or boiled, they have the effects of clearing away heat and nourishing yin, soothing the throat and promoting fluid production, moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm. Therefore, eating pears during Jingzhe is to keep diseases away from us. On this day, the whole family will eat pears. And some people are not easy to eat too cold food when the weather changes, so we will make a rock sugar snow pear dish that most people like.
