I like to drink health tea to keep fit.

But does health tea have to be healthy?

Not necessarily!

Pay attention to physique and methods when drinking tea.

Drink only the right ones.

Tea can really play a role in health preservation.

Drinking it wrong will be harmful to your health!

What are the common health teas that will do harm to you if you drink them wrong?

I'll take you to find out!

First, medlar chrysanthemum tea

Benefits: Lycium barbarum chrysanthemum tea tastes sweet and refreshing, and it can be improved by entering the liver meridian. Chrysanthemum is slightly cold and has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials.

Adapt to the crowd: For modern people who often use mobile phones and computers, soaking in water has a good effect of clearing brain and removing fire, and also has a certain therapeutic effect on insomnia and headache caused by wind-heat colds and high blood pressure.

These people are easy to drink: people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, yang deficiency and heavy humidity should not drink, nor should menstrual women and people suffering from wind and cold. This is because chrysanthemum can clear away heat and fire, but it tastes bitter and cold.

Second, rose tea

Benefits: Rose tea has the functions of soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and beauty beauty.

Adapt to the crowd: Rose tea is more suitable for women and people who are not feeling well.

These people are easy to hurt themselves when drinking it: those with yin deficiency and excessive fire should use it with caution. Another view is that rose tea contains tannic acid, which combines with protein in food to produce protein tannic acid, which is difficult to digest and absorb, and may lead to constipation. Moreover, rose tea is a warm flower drink, and drinking too much can easily lead to aggravation of yin fire.

Usage: brew 3 ~5 dried roses with boiling water every day, or add jujube or drink with black tea or green tea according to your constitution.

Third, longan jujube tea

Benefits: Jujube is warm and sweet, which can replenish middle energizer, invigorate qi and nourish blood, and calm the nerves.

It has good curative effect on insomnia, palpitation, neurasthenia, hypomnesis and anemia.

Adapt to the crowd: the combination of the two can enhance the body's resistance and is suitable for people with insufficient qi and blood.

These people drink longan jujube tea, which contains high natural sugar. Patients with abdominal distension, bloating, hyperacidity and diabetes should not drink it, and they should also avoid eating when they get angry and inflamed.

Usage: longan meat is warm and easy to get angry after eating. It is suggested that when making tea, the longan kernel shell can be broken and soaked together to neutralize the excessive internal heat caused by eating longan meat.

Fourth, honeysuckle tea.

Benefits: Honeysuckle is cold and sweet, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials and dispersing wind and heat.

Adapt to the crowd: the liver fire is relatively strong, and people who often get angry can take it. Because honeysuckle tea is cold, it is not recommended for people with other constitutions to drink it for a long time.

These people are easy to hurt: patients with dysmenorrhea and patients with deficiency-cold constitution try to avoid taking them. Most patients with sore throat belong to deficiency fire, and honeysuckle is mainly used to treat excess fire, so it is recommended to use raw licorice to soak in water instead.

Five, boat-fruited Sterculia tea

Benefits: Boat-fruited Sterculia is cold, which acts on lung meridian and is longer than clearing throat.

Adapt to the crowd: Boat-fruited Sterculia is only suitable for hoarseness caused by wind-heat and evil poison invading the throat. White hair caused by vocal nodules, incomplete vocal cords or excessive alcohol and tobacco is invalid with boat-fruited Sterculia.

These people are easy to harm their health: people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold should not drink it, otherwise it will aggravate the breeding of human coldness. Even for patients with symptomatic pharyngitis, boat-fruited Sterculia tea 1 ~2 weeks is enough. Eating too much will damage the yang and affect the digestive function. Quitting smoking is more useful for relieving throat discomfort than soaking in boat-fruited Sterculia.

Six, mint tea

Benefits: mint is cool and pungent, and has the effect of dispelling wind and cold and clearing the head.

Suitable for people: mint tea is suitable for people with headache, boredom, red eyes and swollen throat, listlessness, loss of appetite and other symptoms.

These people are easy to drink: mint consumes gas and sweats, so people with qi deficiency and sweating should not drink more.

Seven, cassia seed tea.

Benefits: Cassia seed has the effects of clearing liver, improving eyesight, lowering blood pressure and relaxing bowels.

These people drink it easily: Cassia seed is slightly cold and has the effect of promoting defecation, so people who are prone to diarrhea and stomachache should not take it. Female friends do not recommend drinking heavily for a long time, because it may affect fertility and menstrual regularity.

Note: Even if it is suitable for people, it is not recommended to drink it for a long time. It is recommended to drink two or three times a week.

What should I pay attention to when drinking health tea?

1, health tea should be prepared according to specific symptoms and physical characteristics, in order to achieve the function of health preservation.

2. Health tea, like Chinese medicine, is biased. Long-term drinking compatibility should take into account both yin and yang, and should be taken under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine.

3, health tea can only play a role in regulating symptoms, and it is difficult to improve physical fitness. Just as some people suffer from many basic diseases and need Chinese medicine treatment, it is not enough to rely solely on health tea.

The temperature of drinking tea is very important. Tea is usually brewed with high-temperature water, which is too hot to drink. The temperature of tea is preferably between 56-60, which is more conducive to health. When the water temperature is too high, the esophageal mucosa is vulnerable to chronic thermal injury, which will increase the risk of cancer after long-term injury.
