??蜂蜜可潤喉亦可封喉！?
蜂蜜甜蜜蜜
說起秋天要滋潤，相信不少人都會想到蜂蜜，香甜潤喉而不膩。不同的蜂蜜、花蜜等的性質相約，而在中醫的角度中，蜂蜜的確是潤燥的恩物，由於蜂蜜入肺經，對呼吸道和皮膚都有幫助，而且能潤腸通便，在秋天乾燥的時候就最適合服用。蜂蜜雖好，但要注意並非人人適合，首先是本身對蜂蜜或花粉有過敏反應的人，另外就是脾胃虛弱，易出現胃脹及腹瀉的人，蜂蜜會令消化不良及有輕瀉的作用。假如你是因是有痰濕內熱的問題，再吃蜂蜜反而會引致痰多而封喉，並不適宜。此外，1歲以下的孩子亦不宜服用蜂蜜。
蜂蜜﹣蜂蜜性平。有補脾潤肺、潤腸及解毒功效。可舒緩因肺燥而引起的乾咳及腸燥便秘等問題。更有除心煩、食欲不振、口瘡的作用。尤其適合氣虛、血虛、陰虛、陽虛及血瘀體質人士服用。但濕熱及痰濕體質人士、胃脹、喝酒過多及易有腹瀉的人則不適合。
Oh sweet honey
A lot of people think of honey when it comes to moistening during the fall as its sweet and soothing to the throat. Different types of honey have similar effects and from Chinese medicine perspective, honey definitely brings the gift of dryness relief. When honey enters the lung meridian, it is beneficial to both respiratory system and skin. With the added effect of constipation relief, honey is most suitable during the fall. However it is important to note that not everyone can have honey. Some people may be allergic and others with asthenic spleen and stomach or those prone to abdominal bloating or diarrhea should not have too much honey as it may cause indigestion and light dirrahea. Also if you have a phlegm and dampness body constitution with interior heat, then honey may increase the amount of phlegm and block your throat. Children under 1 should also avoid honey.
Honey- mild in nature, replenishes spleen, moistens the lungs and intestines, and detoxifies. Alleviates symptoms related to dryness in the lungs such as dry cough and constipation. It can also relieve irritability, lack of appetite and canker sores. Honey is especially suitable for those with qi deficiency, blood asthenia, yin deficiency, yang deficiency and blood stasis body constitutions. It is not suitable for those with damp-heat and phlegm and dampness bodies, or those prone to abdominal bloating and diarrhea, or those who consume alcohol heavily.
