Other Names : Citrus Peel, Ju pi, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, Ju Hong, Ju Hong Pi<br>Citrus peel is the dried peel of a citrus fruit, most commonly a tangerine or Mandarin orange. (Note: If an immature peel is being used, the peel is known as [[Qing Pi]].) The peels are removed from the fruit and allowed to dry in the sun before being used. According to some traditional Chinese medicine beliefs, the older the peel is before being used, the greater its effect.<br>See also : [[Tangerine]]
==Special Precautions of Chen Pi==
* Citrus peel should not be used in cases of dry cough caused by yin deficiency, and should be used with caution in cases of dry excess heat.
