Although tangerine peel has a variety of benefits, it should not be consumed in these situations.
First of all, for people with external fever, due to the warm nature of tangerine peel, it will aggravate the heat in the body, which is not conducive to the alleviation of the disease. Therefore, those with symptoms such as asthma and phlegm should avoid using tangerine peel alone.
Secondly, diabetics need to pay special attention because tangerine peel has the effect of raising blood sugar. Taking large amounts over a long period of time may adversely affect blood sugar control, so diabetics should avoid consuming tangerine peel. In addition, when taking tangerine peel, you should avoid eating raw, cold, and sticky foods, which are prone to phlegm and dampness, which affects the efficacy of tangerine peel. At the same time, tangerine peel is dry, and long-term use of a large amount of fluid is easy to deplete the human body, and patients with dry cough, hematemesis and other fluid depletion diseases should also avoid taking a large amount of fluid for a long time. Finally, pregnant and lactating women should be especially cautious when using tangerine peel. Although tangerine peel has a certain effect of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, it may have adverse effects on the fetus or infant due to its warmth. If necessary, it should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. To sum up, although tangerine peel has a variety of effects, it is still necessary to pay attention to the above five conditions when using it. For specific groups of people, they should carefully choose whether to consume tangerine peel according to their own situation to ensure health and safety.
