When it comes to oral ulcers, people think of watermelon frost, and it is also used to treat oral diseases. But do you know how watermelon frost is made? Actually, we can make watermelon frost at home.
I remember that when I was young, my grandfather would make some watermelon frost in July and August during the autumn season. My grandfather’s father was an old Chinese doctor, so my grandfather learned to dispense medicines to treat illnesses since he was a child. At that time, there was a cellar in rural homes, which was used to store grain, and it was most suitable to make watermelon frost in the cellar.
At this time last year, I tried to make watermelon frost by myself, but it was unsuccessful. Finally, I found out the reason. The reason for the failure was wind. The water seeping from the watermelon needs to be blown by the wind (that is, dried) Frost. Therefore, if there is no wind, you can use an electric fan to blow it.
Watermelon frost has a long history of use, and it was first recorded more than 200 years ago. Gu Shicheng, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, included it in the "Encyclopedia of Ulcers" and was called the "Holy Medicine of Laryngology" by the ancients. The traditional method of picking frost is to cut the watermelon, put in Chinese medicine, put the melon in a large earthen jar, and store it in a cool and ventilated place. After a few months, there are flocculent white crystals outside the cylinder wall, which is commonly known as watermelon frost. "
