Health-preserving tea is a kind of health-preserving and health-care drink which plays a medicinal role in the form of tea.
1, Shennong Herbal Classic is the first pharmaceutical monograph in China, which was written in the Warring States Period and completed in the Western Han Dynasty. In the form of legend, this book collects the drug knowledge accumulated by the working people for a long time since ancient times, including a paragraph that says: "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, but it was poisoned by seven or two poisons every day, but it was solved in tea." According to textual research, the tea here refers to ancient tea, to the effect that in ancient times, the legendary Emperor Yan personally tasted all the herbs in order to find plants beneficial to human survival and was poisoned many times in one day. But he was saved by tea. Although this is an obviously exaggerated legend, we can also learn from it that the use of tea by human beings may have started from medicinal use. This is the earliest record of health tea.
2. Tea, as a kind of drink, has spread to ethnic minority areas in northwest China since the Tang Dynasty and has become a necessity for local people. One day without Chaze's disease, three days without Chaze's disease. China is the origin of tea trees. China's contribution to human beings in the tea industry mainly lies in the earliest discovery and utilization of this plant, which has developed into a splendid and unique tea culture in China, the East and even the whole world. According to China history books, before drinking tea, "the ancients drank water in summer and soup in winter", and they always used warm soup to quench their thirst. Drinking tea has changed people's bad habit of drinking raw water and greatly improved people's health. All these fully reflect the importance of health tea to the world.
3. There are three ways to drink health tea: soaking, frying and blending.
1 bubble. That is, take flowers or cut them into thin slices, mash them, make them into coarse tea, or make them into teabags or pieces of tea. Put a proper amount in the teacup, brew the boiled water, cover it, and stew it for 15 ~ 30 minutes, depending on the taste.
2 fry. It refers to a part of compound herbal tea, which has many medicinal flavors and cannot be soaked in tea cups. Moreover, some drugs and tonics with strong flavor are not easy to soak out, which naturally reduces the efficacy of tea. Therefore, compound herbal tea must be made into coarse powder, decocted in a casserole, decocted in water for 2-3 times, combined decoctions filtered, and put in a thermos bottle to replace tea for regular drinking.
3 tones. Some teas are powder, which can be made into paste with a small amount of boiling water, such as Baxian tea.
