Preparation for drinking: 6g watermelon Cui Yi, 7 lotus seed cores and 3 mint leaves, directly brewed with hot water, and cooled slightly before drinking.
Efficacy: clearing away heat, relieving summer heat and relieving annoyance. Watermelon Cui Yi is the outermost thin layer of green skin of watermelon skin. It is best to cut it off with a knife and dry it in the sun, which has a good effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Lotus seed core has the effect of clearing away heat and calming the nerves, and mint leaves have the effect of dispelling wind and dissipating heat. These three refreshing green health-care tea drinks are the best products for relieving summer heat and benefiting qi in summer.
Health tea name: Zhuyeqing
Beverage preparation: a pinch of bamboo leaf tea, appropriate amount of rock sugar, can be brewed with boiling water.
Efficacy: clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating dampness and benefiting water. Bamboo leaf tea is sold in the market. Compendium of Materia Medica says that it has the function of clearing away heat, detoxifying and diuresis. The tea brewed after adding rock sugar has a fragrant smell and is a good product for clearing away summer heat and dampness.
The above two situations are most likely to be encountered in summer. If you have time on a hot day, it is also beneficial and harmless to prepare one or two cups of health tea according to the above methods.
Health Tea Name: New Liang Yin
Preparation: 30g of Coicis Semen, 3g of Pogostemon cablin, 3g of Eupatorium fortunei and 3g of Amomum villosum. Because it is difficult to extract effective components from Coix lacryma-jobi during brewing, it is necessary to boil Coix lacryma-jobi in hot water for half an hour first, and then brew the other three kinds of tea material with Coix lacryma-jobi soup.
Efficacy: These four plants have always been regarded as the top grade for eliminating dampness. Taking them in summer and wet season can help the spleen and stomach dissolve the moisture in the body. At the same time, coix seed has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach, which can enhance the anti-moisture ability of the spleen and stomach and avoid the re-invasion of moisture.
Name of Health Tea: Ginseng Tea
Preparation: 8 to 15 pieces of American ginseng and a few leaves of Biluochun are put in a tea set, brewed with pure boiling water at about 80℃ for 5 minutes, and then opened for enjoyment.
Efficacy: invigorating qi, relieving summer heat and preventing heatstroke. American ginseng has a good effect of invigorating qi, especially in summer and hot season. Panax quinquefolium is the most important one of Wang's famous prescriptions for clearing heat, relieving summer heat and benefiting qi. Biluochun green tea has the functions of fragrance, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Together, the fragrant smell of Biluochun is helpful to the rapid development of the qi-invigorating effect of American ginseng, and can also prevent it from getting angry. If we have to compare it with the first kind of health tea, the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat is better than that of ginseng tea, but the effect of invigorating qi and relieving fatigue is slightly worse than that of ginseng tea. We can choose health drinks according to our own fatigue and summer heat.
Besides being hot in summer, I believe everyone knows that it is particularly rainy in summer. When the air humidity is 65%, whether in the south or the north, the humidity will be evaporated by hot air. At this time, the humidity and temperature of the air will both soar, and the evil of damp heat will enter the human body with breathing. At the same time, the humidity in the air is saturated, sweat can not be discharged, and the body is seriously damp and hot. The spleen and stomach are located in the center of the human body, and it is the first choice to land here when moisture invades. When the spleen and stomach are blocked by dampness, the upper and lower channels in the body are immediately paralyzed. At this time, there will be symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension or diarrhea. Western medicine calls such symptoms "gastrointestinal cold". Here, we also make some health tea drinks. Those with the above symptoms can be used to treat diseases, and there is no self-defense that can be put away first.
