Pomegranate is known for its taste of seeds and health benefits. It is said that pomegranate seeds contain vitamin C and antioxidants (called polyphenols). It lowers blood pressure, protect against dental plaque microorganisms. Research found drinking the juice reduces plaque-forming units by 32 percent. In Arabic remedies, pomegranate peels are also used as herbal medicine to treat wounds and ulcers.

– Use dried pomegranate peels to make a powder, and apply it to the affected area.
To treat sore throat, mouth ulcers, diarrhea and indigestion:
– Boil some peels in a cup of water for 10 minutes, and drink it, twice a day.
Why pomegranate peels have the above effects? If you eat a piece of pomegranate peel, you will feel that pomegranate peel has astringent property. A herb with astringent property is usually has cooling, drying and closing effects and thus can help closing wounds, reducing “fire” (inflammation, sores and ulcers caused by infection), and drying up secretions and fluids(stopping diarrhea, sweating and bleeding).
When you eat pomegranates, do not throw the peels away. You can dry the peels under sun, and keep them in a clean glass airtight jar.
