As a commonly used Chinese medicine for regulating qi, invigorating stomach and resolving phlegm, dried tangerine peel can really clear away heat and resolve phlegm when used to make tea. Soaking in water with fresh orange peel is different, because fresh orange peel contains more volatile oil, which is easy to stimulate the digestive tract and lead to digestive dysfunction.
