Tomatoes help cool the body and detoxify.

Tomatoes are a familiar fruit used as food. The tomato plant has a round stem and many branches; its main fruiting season is winter and spring. Ripe tomatoes are bright red and contain a lot of vitamin A. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, tomatoes are neutral in nature, sour and slightly sweet in taste, and have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling the blood, increasing body fluids, relieving thirst, promoting urination, and aiding digestion.

100g of fresh, ripe tomatoes provide 13% of the daily requirement for vitamin A, 8% for vitamin B6, and 33-50% for vitamin C. They also contain vitamin B1 (0.06mg), B2 (0.04mg), and PP (0.5mg). Other nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, and trace minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and phosphorus are beneficial to health.

Some ways to use tomatoes to treat illnesses.

Nutritional supplement: An average person can eat 200g of tomatoes daily (washed thoroughly, eaten raw or mashed into a paste). This amount of tomatoes can meet the body's needs for vitamins A, C, iron, and potassium for 24 hours.

To help treat high blood pressure: Before breakfast, take 1-2 tomatoes, wash them thoroughly with boiling water, chop them into small pieces, add a little sugar to taste, and eat them raw. Each course lasts 10-15 days, followed by a 3-day break, then continue with another course.

To stimulate digestion and beautify the skin: 200g tomatoes, 150g apples, 80g lemons, 100g ripe bananas, 100g cabbage. Wash and slice the tomatoes; peel and chop the apples; squeeze the lemons for juice; chop the cabbage finely. Juice the tomatoes and apples; peel and mash the bananas, then mix them with the juice. Add the lemon juice, stir well, and drink in several portions.

To treat heartburn and bitter taste in the mouth: Mix 150ml of tomato juice and 15ml of hawthorn (wild apple) juice and drink 2-3 times a day.

Supporting treatment for chronic hepatitis: Wash and slice 250g of tomatoes; slice 100g of beef thinly, add fat, fish sauce, salt, etc., and stir-fry to eat with rice daily. This dish helps regulate liver function, enrich the blood, strengthen the spleen, and improve digestion. It provides good support during the treatment of chronic hepatitis with medication, helping the body recover quickly after recovery.

Note: Due to the relatively high amount of organic acids in raw tomatoes, they can cause gallbladder spasms. Therefore, people with gallstones should not use the above remedies. Tomatoes contain a small amount of purine, so people with gout should be cautious and consult a specialist in traditional medicine or reputable herbalists before using them.
