Fig and Honey Drink
Ingredients
- Fresh figs 6
- Honey 50 ml
Principle
Figs clear heat, generate fluids, strengthen spleen, and reduce swelling; honey clears heat, tonifies middle, moistens dryness, eases pain, and opens the bowels. Together they clear damp-heat and reduce swelling.
Effects & uses
For painful hemorrhoid flares with bleeding and heat-type constipation; timely use during flares may help reduce recurrence (pattern differentiation required).
Method
- Simmer washed figs in 1000 ml water; after boiling, simmer 15 minutes on low heat.
- Strain about 200 ml liquid, cool slightly, stir in honey.
How to use
- Eat figs and drink liquid morning and evening; often 2–3 days for effect, or 5 days as one course.
Caution
Diabetes or honey sensitivity—use cautiously. Surgical indications cannot be treated by diet alone. Food-care only—not a drug substitute.
