Orange Peel Tea (25 tea bags, ZIN: 518644)

Orange peel (or tangerine peel or citrus peel) has a slightly bitter and acrid taste that helps digestion and acts as a stomachic, expectorant, anti-emetic, and an antitussive. The stomach, spleen, pancreas, and lungs are the bodily systems that are most affected by orange peel. - This herb counteracts the formation of mucus. The inner part of the orange is actually cold, and therefore mucus forming, while the peel is warming and helps reduce it. It is added to herbal formulas to maintain digestion and as a stimulant to encourage the circulation of energy. It counteracts diarrhea, vomiting, colds, indigestion and abdominal swelling. The quality of this herb seems to maintain with drying and age. - How to Use the Herb - The daily dosage is 10-15 grams of fresh or dried peel, taken in tea. - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
