"Zhai Bo Bian" records that orange peel has the special effect of reducing qi, resolving phlegm and dispelling cold. Most other medicines are fresh, and only orange peel is more expensive than old ones. The varieties of orange peel produced in Dongting area are the best. When the author's uncle Mo Qiang was a county magistrate in Bancheng County, Jiangxi Province, he suddenly suffered from digestive system diseases. When he finished eating, he immediately felt chest tightness and very uncomfortable. After using more than 100 prescriptions, his condition is still the same. I accidentally got a folk prescription called Hehe Orange Soup, which was decocted in the morning and evening. After a few posts, the food is delicious. One day, Mo Qiang was sitting in the middle of the classroom, reading a document, and suddenly he felt something fall into his stomach. It feels very obvious. Mo Qiang was frightened and broke out in a sweat. The beadle helped him to rest in the back room. After a while, my stomach ached and I was anxious. I took off a few things as hard as iron bullets, which smelled bad. From then on, Mo Qiang's chest gradually relaxed. It turned out that what he solved was spleen and stomach cold accumulation. Asked what medicine worked, the author said, "... uncle, you have been ill for more than ten years, and the bait has eaten more than 100 posts;" There are also hundreds of kinds, orange peel has special effects on treating chest tightness, which is recorded in ancient books today. "
One of the ancient prescriptions is Erxian Powder, which is fried with "Sichuan dried tangerine peel (dried tangerine peel) for four liang, roasted licorice for one liang, and monarch and minister for one person".
On the other hand, peel a catty of oranges, add four ounces of salt, four ounces of licorice, add five bowls of water, dry them with slow fire, bake them and pickle them, and pound them into powder to take.
The above two prescriptions have obvious effects of relaxing the diaphragm, lowering qi and resolving phlegm, which are far superior to Pinellia ternata, Arisaema, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Poria.
