We eat a lot of oranges, but we often throw away the skin. In fact, its skin is also a treasure, which can help digestion, reduce phlegm, and relieve stomach qi. Every year when the oranges are in season, I keep the orange peels and treat them as snacks for my parents. They said that they didn’t digest well in the autumn and winter and felt their stomachs distended. Now I eat the candied orange peels I made for them. ,feels good.
