Loquat leaves are the leaves of the Rosaceae plant loquat. Also known as Baye, Lujuye ("Handbook of Chinese Medicinal Materials"). Loquat leaves have antitussive, expectorant and anti-asthmatic effects. The child had a cold and hadn't been completely well, so he coughed a few times from time to time. When I took him downstairs to play yesterday, I ran into a mother-in-law downstairs and told me that this method was used to boil the leaves in rock sugar water. It is said to be effective. I couldn't wait to try to cook it once. When it was cooked, it was brown, and after half an hour of simmering it turned into a wine red magically. There is a slight bitterness in the sweetness that can be ignored, and children like to drink it!
