In daily life, many people may have sudden throat discomfort, especially if they can't drink water at the moment, it is more likely to cause a cough, and it will continue. "If you want to stabilize the throat, you must rely on Tiantu acupoint."

If pressing the acupoints is not enough, doctors also suggest that people can drink tea to help moisten the throat and avoid dry mouth. "Although everyone's physique is different, generally speaking, the most basic and recommended prescription is the 'Gamji Decoction'." Dr. Park explained that the so-called "ganji" refers to licorice and bellflower: "According to the "Eastern Medicine" "Bao Jian" records that 'Gan Ju Tang' can treat the inability to eat normally and pain due to the entry of cold air into the human body. In modern medicine, it is the so-called pharyngitis, tonsil inflammation and asthma and other respiratory related diseases."

So how do you make "Ganji Soup"? First of all, you must prepare 2 liters of water, 10 grams of licorice, and 30 grams of bellflower, which is enough to make two days of sweet orange soup. If you want more, just remember that the ratio of licorice to bellflower is 1:3. When making, first boil the water, then turn off the fire and add licorice to soak for about 5 hours. When the time is up, take out the licorice, add the platycodon, and boil for about 10 minutes. Finally, remove all the medicinal materials. . The amount boiled in this way is enough to take about 2 days.

However, it is also reminded that although licorice is a common medicinal material, it cannot be used uncontrollably: "According to foreign cases, the use of drugs containing licorice in an amount of several hundred grams per day may lead to increased blood pressure, hypokalemia and other diseases. Especially for people whose heart, blood sugar and blood pressure are already relatively unstable, they should pay special attention.” If you have doubts about licorice, it is recommended to use honey instead.
