From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, lemon not only echoes the health-keeping concept of "sour and sweet to change yin" in traditional Chinese medicine, but also can converge sour taste and benefit qi. Both of them work together in the body to nourish yin and promote fluid production, moisten dryness and quench thirst, stimulate appetite and invigorate spleen.
And lemon is flat, sour and sweet, and it belongs to the stomach and lungs. It also has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. Adding lemon to children's daily diet can not only nourish lung yin, but also help prevent cough in autumn.
从中医的角度说，柠檬不仅呼应了中医的“酸甘化阴”养生理念，而且酸味能收敛，甘味能益气，二者共同作用于体内，能够养阴生津、润燥止渴、开胃醒脾。
且柠檬性平、味酸甘、归胃肺经，还有润肺止咳、清热生津的功效。将柠檬加入孩子的日常饮食中，既能滋润肺阴，又有助于预防秋季咳嗽的发生。
