Pyrus pyrifolia, commonly known as Asian pear or sand pear, is a delicious fruit native to East Asia. It looks bigger with a rounder shape than the European varieties. The Asian pear is usually eaten raw and peeled. As it is much juicier than European pear, it is not used in baking or jam making in the same way that the European pear is. Asian pear is used as a beneficial remedy for treating lung disorders and colds and being used in skincare for its enhancing skin moisturizing effect. The peel of P. pyrifolia has been used to treat skin disorders, including the furuncle. A popular cold remedy is made by removing the top one-fourth of the pear and stuffing it with ginger, platycodon, jujube, and honey. The patients with colds drink the boiled and concentrated this juice. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects of P. pyrifolia fruit have been studied.
