Loquat is useful for treating coughs, and either the fruit or the leaves of loquat can be used as medicine. Loquat is a bitter and flat food that enters the spleen, stomach, lung and liver meridians, and has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, harmonizing the stomach and lowering rebellion. You can drink water with loquat leaves, which is very effective in treating cough, or eat raw loquat, which also has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. However, cough should not be treated by relying on loquat alone, but by identifying the specific cause of the cough. If the cough is mild, it can be treated with loquat; if the cough is caused by a serious infection, you need to choose appropriate antibiotics or antiviral drugs to reduce inflammation according to the type of infection.
