But there was plenty of data supporting the effectiveness of herbs in antiviral treatment. Although the epidemic is ongoing, Chinese researchers had obtained some initial promising results from clinical observations….

Zhang, who is also a member of the national expert panel advising the central government, said in a press conference last week: “A team in Guangzhou has treated more than 50 patients and none later developed severe symptoms.

Discover the tradition of healing with citrus peel—the zesty, invigorating flavor can help support your health.



“… Now string, hang and dry your lovely citrus wreaths in a sunny well ventilated spot. Once it is completely dry you can store the chen pi away for aging. Then, in true old fashioned style, the aging of the chen pi takes years. That’s right I said years and, yeah, my jaw dropped too the first time I heard that. I’ve seen anywhere from 3 years to 5 years as the usual recommended aging time with the chen pi turning a dark reddish brown as time passes. Aging improves flavor. Chen pi aged over 30 years can sell for as much as 14800 HKD for 1 kg, or 2000 USD for a little over 2 lbs! ..

… This is my homemade chen pi after drying for a couple of months. Isn’t it just gorgeous? Time to store them away to age! Can’t wait to try them!

Homemade Chen Pi Dried Mandarin Peel Recipe 陳皮做法

30 Xinhui mandarins 新會柑

Directions:

Score the mandarin peels into three equal sections starting from the bottom of the mandarin, leaving 1/2″ to 3/4″ unscored as you near the top stem side of the mandarin. Score lightly, trying not to cut into the flesh of the fruit. Peel each section of the mandarin peel slowly along the score lines until the entire peel can be removed from the fruit. Repeat for all the mandarins.

Prepare your wire or string for stringing up the peels for drying. If you use a wire you can just poke the wire end straight through the tender peel. If you use string use a needle to poke a whole in the peels to fit your string through, or use a needle threaded with string.

For each peel poke through the peel at two spots. See the photo above for reference. After each peel is added, knot a simple knot after it so that the peels will stay ..”
