The cool fall season is quickly approaching. During the season change period, especially in the fall, the daily temperature difference is large, so you need to be careful of diseases such as colds and lower immunity. Since immunity not only protects against external invaders such as viruses and bacteria, but also regulates body temperature, resistance to viruses, etc. may decrease while adapting to the large daily temperature range.

Bellflower root, which has a similar taste and scent to ginseng, contains a lot of ‘saponin’ and ‘luteolin’ ingredients, which relieves cold symptoms such as coughing and helps to recover from fatigue and improve immunity. In Oriental medicine, bellflower root is called ‘Gilgyeong’. ‘Donguibogam’ also introduces about 280 prescriptions including Gilgyeong, and ‘Myeongbyeolrok’ explains, “It benefits the five intestines, replenishes insufficient blood, warms the inside, and helps digest food well.”

Ginger is also most recommended when you have a cold. The ingredients ‘gingerol’ and ‘shogaol’ have a strong bactericidal effect and have an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to relieve symptoms when you catch a cold. Donguibogam says, “It is effective in removing phlegm, lowering energy, stopping vomiting, and removing wind chills and boils. It is highly effective in treating asthma, promotes yang through the heart, and removes coldness from the five organs and six organs. Dried ginger “It acts as a carminative and digestive agent.”

Citron, a treasure trove of vitamin C, which is deeply related to activating metabolism, strengthening immunity, and antioxidant effects, told Donguibogam, “It has the effect of lowering energy, removing phlegm, aiding digestion, and relieving hangovers. It relieves alcohol poisoning and relieves bad breath caused by alcohol.” Eliminates it,” and recorded its efficacy in ‘Herbal Medicine’, saying, “Eating yuzu makes your body lighter and your lifespan gets longer.”

Pears are a representative food that is good for the bronchial tubes and are known to help with asthma. The ‘luteolin’ ingredient helps relieve bronchial fatigue and relieve cold symptoms. Donguibogam records, “It is non-toxic, removes fever, relieves chest tightness, pain, and hot sensations, eliminates cold symptoms, and relieves stuffy energy in the chest.”

During seasonal changes when the outside temperature drops, your immunity can be greatly reduced, so you need to put more effort into taking care of your health. It is good to take care of your health during the change of seasons with medicinal foods containing bellflower root and ginger, but ultimately, remember that it is wise to seek help from an Oriental medicine doctor to effectively increase the body’s basic immunity.
