What diseases can be cured by boiling water with old cangzi?

People are relatively unfamiliar with the old Cangzi, but some people may have heard of Xanthium sibiricum and Cangzi. In fact, they are the same substance. Some people have always high blood sugar, while others cough from time to time. If the above people try to boil the old cangzi in water and drink it, they will find that their symptoms will be alleviated. The benefits of boiling water with old cangzi are far more than that. It can also inhibit the growth of pneumococcus in the human body and can also play a certain therapeutic role in stomatitis and dermatitis.

1. The benefits of drinking water soaked with ears

1. Antibacterial disinfection

Xanthium sibiricum can inhibit many bacteria in the body, especially pneumococcus and Staphylococcus aureus. Because Xanthium sibiricum contains acetone and ethanol extracts, these two substances can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.

2. Cough relief

If you have a cough, especially one caused by sulfur dioxide or ammonia, drinking the Xanthium sibiricum in water or boiling it in a pot can effectively relieve the cough.

3. Promote blood sugar reduction

The benefits of drinking Xanthium sibiricum soaked in water also include promoting the lowering of blood sugar. Xanthium sibiricum contains certain glycosides, which can cause the lowering of blood sugar in normal animals and humans.

4. Anti-inflammatory Effect

Xanthium sibiricum contains the diterpene hydroxy acid atractylodesin, which can produce a very obvious anti-inflammatory effect after entering the body. Therefore, if you have problems such as stomatitis, dermatitis, etc. in your daily life, you can use Xanthium sibiricum.

2. Clinical Application of Cangzi
