Dietary taboos of health tea
1. Some herbal teas should not be drunk often.
If used properly, herbal tea does have a certain health care function, but it is only for a period of time and needs to be adjusted according to one's physique. Sometimes excessive drinking will also cause physical discomfort. For example, Boat-fruited Sterculia tea is used for sudden hoarseness accompanied by cough, thirst, sore throat and other symptoms. If it is taken as a health drink for a long time, it will cause side effects such as deficiency of the spleen and stomach, diarrhea and loss of diet. There are also many girls who like to make lemonade with a few slices of lemon to supplement vitamin C and make the panel whiter. Lemonade is rich in vitamin C, which can resist bacteria and improve immunity, but it can't be drunk on an empty stomach because of its acidity. Drinking too much will also damage the gastric mucosa, which is not good for teeth.
2. The prepared herbal tea can have similar medicinal properties.
There are many combined herbal teas matched by merchants in the market, so it is best to go to some Chinese medicine shops to buy them, because the matched herbal teas may have similar medicinal properties. The collocation of herbal tea can be selected from the compatibility of sex, taste and efficacy. In terms of taste, warm edible flowers mainly include plum blossom, jasmine tea, rose, Chinese rose and so on; Cold edible flowers mainly include Prunella vulgaris, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum and so on. The flowers with flat sex mainly include Albizia Albizia, hibiscus and lavender. Warm flowers and plants had better not be matched with cold flowers and plants. In terms of efficacy, if refreshing herbal tea and lavender are soaked together, the efficacy will be weakened; For example, cassia seed has a certain laxative effect. Because of the convergence of plumula Nelumbinis, the laxative effect of Semen Cassiae will be weakened.
3. Determine "tea" according to physique
Besides its medicinal properties, you should also pay attention to your physical condition when drinking herbal tea. Every kind of herbal tea still has special effects, so when choosing, on the one hand, you should distinguish your physical condition. For example, people with heat constitution should choose cold flowers and plants, while those with deficiency constitution should choose warm flowers and plants, and most of them can choose flat flowers and plants. On the other hand, if you are taking medicine, you should be more careful when choosing herbal tea. For example, if you are taking antihypertensive drugs, you need to monitor your blood pressure to prevent excessive hypotension. Only by choosing the herbal tea you need according to your physical condition can you enjoy herbal tea and achieve the purpose of health care.
Even the most common flowers, there are some precautions when drinking. Here are some "special flowers" that are often drunk and suitable for people to drink.
Rose, mild in nature, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and calming the nerves.
Red Chinese rose is mild in nature and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation. Because roses and red roses have similar effects, they can also be mixed together to drink.
