In ancient times, medlar leaf tea was still a tribute, and only the emperor could enjoy it. Therefore, Goji Tea is an all-natural health drink that is worth tasting.
Finally, the medlar also has medicinal properties. Its roots, leaves and fruits are all well-known Chinese medicinal materials, which can clear away heat and detoxify, benefit the liver and kidneys, and dispel rheumatism.

The medicinal value of the medlar bone is clearly recorded in ancient medical writings, and it is praised as a medicine for strengthening the body.
In short, the medlar is a plant that is full of treasures. Not only is it ornamental, but it can also be used to make tea and medicine. Therefore, for farmers, if you find medlar bones in the wild, you might as well pick them and plant them at home to give full play to its multiple effects.
After exploring the many uses of medlar bone, we can't help but wonder why we don't hear about it or utilize it so much in our daily lives, given that this plant is so preciousPerhaps it is because our knowledge is limited and our understanding of it is not yet deep, or because we do not have a sufficient awareness of the knowledge and use of natural plants. And it is this ignorance and neglect of plants that makes us miss out on many valuable resources and opportunities.
As a farmer friend, it is our responsibility and mission to understand and use natural plants. Through learning and exploration, we can discover the mysteries of the natural world and recognize the value and uses of plants, so as to better protect and utilize them. In our daily life, we can pay attention to the plants around us, understand their characteristics and functions, discover their value, and then transform these values into positive effects on rural development and life.
At the same time, we should also broaden our thinking and dare to try. For plants like medlarium, we only know some of the uses, and there may be many features that we don't know about waiting to be discovered. Therefore, on the basis of understanding and utilizing the citrus bone, we should further study and tap its potential to promote its wider application in the field of life and medicine.
In conclusion, the lycium is a plant with ornamental, dietary and medicinal properties. Its fruits and leaves can be used to make tea, while the roots have medicinal properties. As friends of farmers, we should recognize the preciousness of the medlar bone and exert its multiple functions through proper cultivation and utilization. At the same time, we should continue to learn and explore the uses of other plants, deepen our understanding of natural plants, and promote rural development and the progress of life.
