The Magic Ingredients of Stale Peel Tea
Chenpi, also known as orange peel, is a Chinese herbal medicine made after being dried in the sun, which has the effects of moving qi, strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm. Chenpi is rich in flavonoids, volatile oils, vitamin C and other ingredients, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-regulating and other effects.
Effect of Chen Pi Tea on Uric Acid
Hyperuricemia is caused by abnormal uric acid metabolism in the body and is commonly seen in gout patients. Studies have shown that the flavonoids in Chenpi have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can help reduce the inflammatory response in the body. In addition, the diuretic effect of Chen Pi also helps to promote the excretion of uric acid, thus lowering the concentration of uric acid in the blood.
The actual effects of drinking peel tea
Although Chenpi tea has many of these benefits, relying solely on drinking Chenpi tea to lower uric acid may have limited effect. Control of uric acid levels requires comprehensive management, including dietary modification, medication and lifestyle changes. Therefore, patients with high uric acid are advised to take comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor, rather than relying on a particular food or drink alone.

3. Put the peel into a cup, add boiling water to brew, cover the cup and steep for 5-10 minutes.

5. Drink 1-2 times a day, about 200-300 ml each time.
Integrated management of diet and lifestyle
In addition to drinking Chenpi tea, patients with high uric acid need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Control the intake of purines in the diet and reduce the intake of high-purine foods such as seafood, red meat and offal.
2. Maintain adequate water intake and drink at least 2,000 milliliters of water per day to promote the elimination of uric acid.
3. Avoid alcohol, especially beer, as alcohol increases the production of uric acid.
4. Exercise in moderation, maintain a healthy body weight, and avoid the adverse effects of obesity on uric acid metabolism.
