【幫愉貴人找兇手】枇杷老葉無毒？新葉有毒？

枇杷葉無毒可治熱咳
偽瓔珞：「『枇杷老葉無毒，但枇杷新葉有毒』，一定是有人要毒害愉貴人，傷害龍嗣！」
CheckCheckCin：煲劇還煲劇，也不能信以為真！枇杷葉是肺熱咳嗽的常用藥，在中醫用藥中沒有新葉舊葉之分，亦沒有「有毒」的記載。枇杷葉只分為鮮葉、乾葉及枇杷絲三種，鮮葉的葉面有一層絨毛會刺激咽喉，服用後可能會令咳嗽加劇、咽喉水腫，但不至於「有毒」，坊間出售的枇杷葉，製乾及製絲前會除去雜質及絨毛。
枇杷葉味苦性微寒，主治肺熱咳嗽、氣逆喘急、胃熱嘔逆、煩熱口渴，民間偏方說枇杷葉煮水可治熱咳，寒咳則不宜飲用，因為枇杷葉性微寒，反而會加重病情，亦容易導致腹痛腹瀉，體質虛寒人士要慎用。有任何用藥疑問，還是諮詢醫師為佳。
不說不知，原來葉天士大夫正是發明川貝枇杷膏的人！但是要注意川貝枇杷膏並非人人合適，正因枇杷性寒，風寒痰濕而出現寒咳的就不宜服用了。（同樣是有熱咳的，除了川貝枇杷膏也可試試滋潤美味的川貝燉雪梨！）

功效：可紓緩肺陰不足及燥熱引起的熱咳。
Loquat leaves are not poisonous
There was a storyline in Story of Yan Xi Palace related to poisonous nature of loquat leaves leading to miscarriage of royal pregnancy.
CheckCheckCin: Shows are fiction after all so not everything should be taken literally! Loquat leaves are commonly used to treat hot lungs cough and there’s no differentiation between aged and new loquat leaves within traditional Chinese medicine. There are three types of loquat leaves- fresh, dried, and shredded. Fresh leaves have a layer of fur that may be cause throat sensitivity so consumption maybe worsen the cough and cause swelling in the throat. But it is not poisonous.
Loquat leaves are slightly cold in nature with a bitter flavor. It is mainly used to treat cough due to hot lungs, shortness of breath, vomitting, thirst. Some old wives cook loquat leaves to treat hot cough and believes it cannot be consumed with cold cough. Due to the cold nature of loquat leaves, it may worsen the condition and to abdominal pain and diarrhea. Those with asthenic cold body types should consume with caution. When in doubt, it is best to consult a practitioner.
