Helps clear away heat and toxic materials.
In spring, due to the growth of yang, the temperature gradually warms up. If you don't add clothes according to environmental conditions, it will easily lead to excessive accumulation of yang in the body, and then get angry.
Not only that, it is easy to be infected with viruses and bacteria in spring, and it is easy to induce damp-heat symptoms such as liver fever and rash. In this case, drinking dandelion water every day is very helpful to relieve this fever.
Moistening throat and diuresis
The air in spring is dry and easy to get angry, so many people will have oral ulcers and sore throats in spring. Dandelion, as a cold medicinal material, can play a very good role in reducing fire and treating ulcers, and has always had the reputation of "burning grass".
On the other hand, everything grows in spring, so the metabolic rate of the human body will be accelerated, and it is easy to accumulate toxins in the body. Dandelion soaking in water also has a very good diuretic effect, which is conducive to helping the human body discharge waste, thus better caring for health.
Reduce the risk of bacterial infection
Spring is the season when everything recovers, and some bacterial diseases and insect pests are no exception. Saponins and other components in dandelion can inhibit common bacteria such as typhoid Bacillus and staphylococcus in spring. Drinking some dandelion soaked in water in spring can effectively reduce the inflammatory diseases and risks caused by bacterial infection.
To sum up, drinking dandelion water in spring can be said to have many benefits. However, dandelion is, after all, a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Only when it is taken correctly and scientifically can it exert its greatest value. Here is a summary of dandelion's "three drinks" and "three no drinks", hoping to help you keep fit in spring.
① Suitable for people with frequent stomach fever.
Spring is also the season of high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastric ulcer, bacterial infection and other symptoms, which may cause gastrointestinal tract to be stimulated by fever and affect health and life. Therefore, drinking dandelion water properly to neutralize cold and heat can relieve stomach heat well.
However, it should be noted that not all stomach diseases are suitable for drinking dandelion soaked in water, such as abdominal pain and indigestion caused by stomach cold. It is best to avoid contact with cool substances such as dandelion as much as possible.
② Suitable for people with edema and puffiness.
Dandelion soaked in water has a very good diuretic and detumescence effect. For people with edema and puffiness, proper drinking can relieve water conservancy and help the body to better discharge toxins and garbage, which is naturally a healthy choice.
Moreover, dandelion soaked in drinking water can not only relieve edema and puffiness, but also help promote kidney metabolism and reduce the risk of toxin deposition in the urinary system, which is highly recommended.
③ Suitable for drinking with other medicinal materials.
Dandelion soaked in water can be drunk not only alone, but also with other medicinal materials:
For example, dandelion and honeysuckle are matched with each other, both of which can play the role of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, diuretic and detumescence. Taken together, the effect will naturally be better, which will help to improve a series of symptoms such as excessive internal heat and ulcer.
For example, dandelion and Lycium barbarum, the warmth of Lycium barbarum and the coldness of dandelion can neutralize each other, on the one hand, it can exert favorable drug effects, on the other hand, it can also reduce the stimulation of its coldness to the body.
Not only that, dandelion and medlar soaked in water can help liver and kidney detoxify, but also have a nourishing effect, improve the health of organs and tissues, and reduce the risk of disease.
The above is the "three drinks" of dandelion soaking in water, so that everyone can understand the drinking method and various benefits of dandelion soaking in water. At the same time, dandelion soaking in water still has "three don't drink", which also needs our attention.
"Three don't drink" means "don't drink too much", "don't drink indiscriminately" and "not suitable for everyone".
The first thing is not to drink too much. As mentioned above, dandelion is colder than water. If you drink too much, it is also a kind of harm to the stomach, which likes warm and cold, and needs to be controlled.
Don't drink it indiscriminately, that is to say, dandelion can't be mixed with some wrong things when making tea. For example, spicy food such as ginger and pepper, cold food materials such as bitter tea and lotus plumule. Alternating cold and heat, or excessive cold, will do harm to the human body, not only failing to keep in good health, but also damaging health and burying hidden dangers of gastrointestinal diseases.
Finally, it is not suitable for everyone to drink. This is equally important. Although dandelion tea has high health care value, some people should avoid drinking it, such as people with cold body, people with allergies, pregnant women or physiological women, patients with low blood pressure, etc., and must drink it carefully.
In short, drinking dandelion soaked in water in spring does have health preservation value, but we should also pay attention to the way and method of drinking, and drink it correctly and healthily to produce the greatest benefit to the body.
