Homemade wax gourd tea

Introduction:

"This wax gourd tea is made with reference to thin ash. Thank you for thin ash first. Wax gourd is one of my favorite vegetables. It has the effects of diuresis, detumescence, weight loss, heat clearing and heat relieving. Because it contains more vitamin C, high potassium salt content and low sodium salt content, patients with hypertension, kidney disease and edema can eat it to reduce swelling without damaging healthy qi. For weight loss, the propanedioic acid contained in wax gourd can effectively inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat. In addition, wax gourd itself does not contain fat, and the heat is not high, which is of great significance to prevent human body from getting fat, and can also contribute to body building. Wax gourd is cold and sweet in nature. It can clear away heat and produce fluid. It can be used in summer. Wax gourd and sugar are boiled together to make wax gourd tea. Do not remove the skin and seeds when boiling, because the skin of wax gourd mainly plays the role of detumescence and diuresis. If the skin is removed, the nutrition will be greatly reduced. The main function of wax gourd seed is to strengthen the spleen and nourish the face, relieve cough and resolve phlegm, so it can not be removed. Wax gourd tea can be drunk cold or hot. In the gradually cool autumn, drink a cup of hot tea Wax gourd tea is also very good
