Liu Shu Quan Jumbo Dates
Basic Introduction to Liu Shu Quan Jumbo DatesThe Liu Shu Quan Farm of the 13th Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is located on the northwest edge of Hami, at the foot of the eastern Tianshan Mountains in Balikun's alluvial and diluvial inclined plains. The Liu Shu Quan Farm is a multi-ethnic, unique state-owned farm and the birthplace of Hami dates. Dates are the mainstay industry of the farm.

Pay Attention to These Issues When Drinking Tea to Ensure Health Benefits
Drinking tea can be beneficial for health and wellbeing, but failing to follow the correct methods of tea consumption can prevent you from fully appreciating its taste and benefits, and may even cause harm to your body. Temperature: Drinking excessively hot tea can irritate the oral and esophageal mucosa, leading to local inflammation. From a nutritional standpoint, slightly cooled to warm tea is most suitable. Drinking overly cold tea can result in the loss of nutritionally valuable components over time, such as catechins and vitamin C, which are easily oxidized. Hangover Relief: Drinking strong tea after alcohol consumption can help with hangovers due to the diuretic effect of caffeine, which facilitates the excretion of acetaldehyde through the kidneys. However, acetaldehyde is harmful to the kidneys, and regularly using strong tea to relieve hangovers can lead to kidney dysfunction. Strong Tea: Consuming strong tea introduces higher levels of caffeine and theophylline, which can stimulate the central nervous system, causing excitement, hyperactivity, and difficulty concentrating, affecting work and rest. Drinking strong tea before bed can disrupt sleep or even cause insomnia. Since tea is inherently cool in nature, drinking strong tea may trigger gastrointestinal issues in elderly or weak individuals, so it's… -

Tangerine Peel and Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel) Are Not the Same Thing
Tangerine peel and chenpi, though seemingly similar, are distinct in the realm of traditional Chinese medicine. While both come from tangerine fruit peels, only those that have undergone a special preparation process can be called chenpi. Therefore, not all tangerine peels are considered chenpi. According to the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, chenpi is defined as the dried mature peel of the fruit of Citrus reticulata Blanco and its cultivated varieties, belonging to the Rutaceae family. There are two categories of this herb: "chenpi" and "Guang chenpi." The preparation method involves picking ripe fruits, removing the peels, and then drying them in the sun or at low temperatures. Chenpi has a bitter and pungent taste and is warm in nature. It targets the lung and spleen meridians. Its functions include regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, as well as drying dampness and transforming phlegm. It is used for symptoms such as abdominal distension, poor appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, and excessive phlegm. Although both tangerine peel and chenpi are derived from tangerine fruit peels, the term "chen" (aged) in chenpi reveals a crucial difference. Chenpi must undergo a specific processing method according to traditional Chinese medicine standards, while regular tangerine… -
