As a tea lover, I deeply realized the benefits of herbal tea in different seasons.
In this article, I will share my experience and discuss how to choose the appropriate Guangdong herbal tea according to the seasonal changes to achieve the best results.
Clearing liver and detoxifying in spring:
Spring is the season when everything recovers, but it is also the time when the liver is easily troubled. As a person living in Guangdong, I deeply feel the problem of moisture and anger in spring.
In order to keep healthy, I often choose some herbal teas that can clear the liver and detoxify, such as Coix seed and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, to help me expel moisture from my body and make my body lighter.
Once, when spring came, I began to feel a little uncomfortable and my anger seemed to be rising.
I decided to try some herbal tea that can clear away the liver and detoxify, hoping to relieve the liver fire and make myself comfortable. I heard that Coix seed and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi are both herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify, so I decided to buy these two herbs and prepare herbal tea myself.
I bought coix seed and scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in the drugstore. When I got home, I studied the preparation method carefully. I wash Coix seed and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi with clear water, then put them in a pot, add appropriate amount of water, and cook them on low heat for about 20 minutes.
The tea turned pale yellow and gave off a faint fragrance. I let the tea cool down, poured it into a cup and took a sip.
This tea tastes light and bitter. As the tea flows in my mouth, I feel a little coolness in my throat, as if taking away some discomfort in my body. After drinking this cup of coix seed and scutellaria baicalensis herbal tea, I feel that my anger seems to have subsided a little, and the whole person is more relaxed and refreshed.
Over time, I insist on drinking a cup of coix seed and scutellaria herbal tea every day, especially in spring, which is easy to get angry.
Gradually, I found that my physical condition is getting better and better, and I no longer feel that boring and uncomfortable. I can cope with the troubles of moisture and anger more easily, and I feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Clearing heat and relieving summer heat in summer:
In Guangdong in summer, the hot weather is unbearable, especially the hot and humid climate. In order to keep comfortable and cool in summer, I often choose some herbal teas that can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, such as chrysanthemum and honeysuckle, to help me cool down and clear away heat, relieve the moisture in my body and make me feel cool for a while.
I decided to try some herbal tea to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, hoping to stay cool and comfortable in this season. I heard that chrysanthemum and honeysuckle have the effect of cooling and clearing heat, so I didn't hesitate to go to the drugstore to buy these two medicines.
When I got home, I began to soak chrysanthemum and honeysuckle herbal tea. I washed the chrysanthemums and honeysuckle with clear water, then put them in a pot, added appropriate amount of water, boiled them on low heat, and then boiled them on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Tea leaves gradually turn pale yellow, emitting a faint floral fragrance. I cooled the tea a little, poured it into a cup and took a sip.
The tea tastes fresh and fragrant, with a hint of floral fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable and pleasant. As the tea flows in my mouth, I feel a little coolness in my throat, as if taking away the water in my body.
After drinking this cup of chrysanthemum and honeysuckle herbal tea, I feel that the whole person has become relaxed, and there is no longer that feeling of boredom and discomfort.
Since then, every summer, I insist on drinking a cup of chrysanthemum and honeysuckle herbal tea every day to resist the hot weather with a cool taste. This herbal tea can not only cool down and clear away heat, but also make me feel a little cool and happy.
In the hot summer, every cup of homemade chrysanthemum honeysuckle herbal tea is a coolness and comfort I create for myself.
Moisten dryness and nourish lungs in autumn:
With the change of seasons, Guangdong is getting dry in autumn, which may be a challenge to lung health.
In autumn, in order to keep my lungs moist and healthy, I often choose some herbal teas with lung moistening and yin nourishing effects, such as almonds and adenophora, to help me moisten my lungs and prevent discomfort caused by dryness.
One autumn, I began to feel a little dry and even itchy. I know this may be the effect of autumn dryness, and the dry climate may affect the health of the lungs. So, I decided to try some herbal tea that moistens the lungs and nourishes yin, hoping to relieve the discomfort of my throat.
I went to the drugstore and bought some almonds and adenophora adenophora, which I thought had the effect of moistening lung and nourishing yin. When I got home, I began to make almond and ginseng herbal tea. First, I soak almonds in warm water, then peel them and take out the nuts.
Then, I put the almonds and adenophora adenophora into the pot, add some water, bring to a boil over low heat, and then turn to low heat for about 20 minutes. Tea leaves gradually turned pale yellow, emitting a faint aroma of medicinal materials.
After the tea was a little cold, I poured it into the cup and took a sip. The taste of tea is light and mild, and the aroma of almond and the bitterness of Adenophora adenophora are intertwined. Every sip of tea has a moist feeling, as if it slipped down my throat gently, which makes me feel comfortable and satisfied.
After drinking almond and ginseng herbal tea for a few days, I gradually felt that the discomfort in my throat was relieved, and the whole person became more energetic and comfortable.
I realized that by choosing herbal tea suitable for autumn, I can not only moisturize my lungs and prevent discomfort caused by dryness, but also keep myself healthy and comfortable in the dry season.
Keep warm and healthy in winter:
When Oriental Day comes, the temperature drops gradually, and the cold weather makes me pay attention to how to keep warm and keep fit. In winter, in order to keep my body warm and healthy, I often choose some warm herbal tea, such as cinnamon and dried ginger, to help me warm my body and enhance the yang in my body, so as to achieve the purpose of keeping healthy and keeping warm.
One winter, I began to feel my hands and feet get cold easily, especially after outdoor activities. I know that cold weather may affect the circulation and yang in the body, so I decided to try some warm herbal tea, hoping to warm my body from the inside out.
I went to the drugstore to buy some cinnamon and dried ginger, thinking that they have a warming effect and can improve the yang in the body.
When I got home, I began to make cinnamon and ginger herbal tea. First, I wash cinnamon and dried ginger separately, then put them into a pot, add a proper amount of water, boil them on low heat, and then turn to low heat for about 20 minutes. Tea leaves gradually turned into a rich brown-red, emitting a rich aroma of medicinal materials.
After the tea cooled a little, I poured it into the cup, smelled the rich aroma of medicinal materials, and tasted it in small sips. The taste of tea is warm and rich, and the aroma of cinnamon and the spicy taste of dried ginger are intertwined. Every sip of tea has a warm feeling, as if warm energy has penetrated into my body.
I gradually feel that my hands and feet are not so cold, and the whole person becomes warmer and more energetic. I realized that by choosing herbal tea suitable for winter, I can not only warm my body and enhance the yang in my body, but also keep healthy and comfortable in the cold season.
Beibei has something to say:

Different seasons need different conditioning, and the best effect can be achieved by choosing the right Guangdong herbal tea.
Clearing heat and relieving summer heat in summer, moistening and nourishing lungs in autumn, keeping warm in winter and clearing liver and detoxifying in spring, herbal tea in every season has become a delicious and healthy partner in my life.
