In hot weather, herbal tea can reduce fire, but drinking herbal tea cannot be taken for granted, and there are some taboos to pay attention to. Herbal tea is not tea. The so-called herbal tea is actually a "Chinese herbal medicine decoction" made of cold Chinese herbal medicines that can eliminate the heat in the human body.

Although it is also called "tea", it does not have exactly the same effect as traditional ordinary tea. Traditional tea brewed with tea leaves contains caffeine, which can make people excited and refreshing. After drinking, people can temporarily eliminate fatigue and improve work efficiency. Drinking strong tea at night makes it difficult to sleep.

In addition, be sure to drink herbal tea in moderation. Do not think that the more you drink, the better. The more you drink, the more you can reduce the fire. What's more, it is very dangerous to drink herbal tea "for prevention" when it is not hot, regardless of the efficacy. This is like taking medicine indiscriminately. Sometimes, it will not only fail to play a preventive role, but will drag down the body.

At the same time, drinking herbal tea should also be based on personal physique. Friends with poor constitution and cold should stop drinking cold medicine, because it will make them uncomfortable, harmful to the body and even cause kidney deficiency. On the other hand, people with body heat have little scruples about bitter cold medicine, but they should also distinguish the types of internal heat and drink "herbal tea" according to their own types.

Not everyone can drink herbal tea, because herbal tea contains a lot of cold Chinese herbal medicines. Since there is "medicine", there will be certain contraindications, so it is not suitable for everyone to drink.

Extended data:

Three kinds of people are not suitable for drinking herbal tea.

1, people with yang deficiency

Most of these people are white-collar workers who often sit in offices. Symptoms can be seen as chills, cold limbs, pale face, loose stool and long urine. Drinking herbal tea for these people is tantamount to "adding insult to injury" and aggravating the symptoms of yang deficiency.

2. People with weak spleen and stomach

Taking herbal tea will hurt the spleen and stomach, making the already weak spleen and stomach weaker. Spleen and stomach are damaged more, vital qi is damaged, and decreased immunity can cause many other diseases.

3. Menstrual and postpartum women

Women are extremely weak during menstruation and postpartum, and are particularly sensitive to the stimulation of cold and heat. If you drink herbal tea without restraint because of the hot weather, although you can feel the temporary coolness in your stomach, after these drugs are absorbed into the blood, the cold stimulation will slow the blood flow and even form blood stasis, causing dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, decreased menstrual flow, and even severe bleeding and amenorrhea.
