Chrysanthemum is a common plant, which has a certain distribution in all parts of the country, so many people will not be unfamiliar with it. Chrysanthemum is also one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Many people usually like to soak chrysanthemum tea, but few people know something about chrysanthemum. In order to let everyone know more about chrysanthemums, I will share some knowledge about chrysanthemums that everyone wants to know.

1. What does chrysanthemum do?

Anti-virus: Studies have shown that chrysanthemum has a certain inhibitory effect on herpes simplex virus, polio virus and measles virus, which is mainly due to the Arabic gum contained in chrysanthemum.

Delaying human aging: As we all know, human aging has a great relationship with oxygen free radicals in the body. There is a substance called glutathione in the human body that can resist oxygen free radicals. Chrysanthemum morifolium can reduce the harm of oxygen free radicals to human body by enhancing the function of glutathione, thus delaying human aging.

Anti-inflammatory effect: what we ordinary people call anti-inflammatory generally refers to bacterial inflammation, while medically speaking, inflammation includes bacterial and non-bacterial inflammation. The triterpene diols, triols and other substances contained in chrysanthemum have obvious anti-inflammatory effects, which can alleviate edema caused by inflammation.

Anti-tumor effect: some animal experiments have proved that a substance contained in chrysanthemum has obvious inhibitory effect on animal skin tumors, and in vitro it has also proved that chrysanthemum has certain inhibitory effect on common cancers, including lung cancer and kidney cancer.

2. Is chrysanthemum tea suitable for drinking every day? Who can't drink chrysanthemum tea?

People who are allergic to chrysanthemum: There may be some people who are allergic to chrysanthemum in their lives, and such people are not suitable for drinking chrysanthemum tea. Maybe everyone will find it strange that even allergies are just rashes, as if there is no harm. In fact, the terrible thing about allergies is not rash, but it may cause laryngeal edema, throat obstruction and suffocation after allergies. Although the incidence of this kind of thing is low, once it appears, it may be fatal.

Cold constitution: As mentioned above, chrysanthemum is cool. If some people have a cold constitution, it will be bad for their health. Some manifestations of cold constitution are that hands and feet are easy to catch cold and diarrhea is easy at ordinary times. And people who are prone to diarrhea drink chrysanthemum tea, which may aggravate the symptoms.

Pregnant women: At present, the research on chrysanthemum is not particularly clear. Pregnant women are fragile, and the fetus in the body is also fragile. It is not clear what adverse effects drinking chrysanthemum tea will have on pregnant women and fetuses, so for the sake of safety, pregnant women had better not drink chrysanthemum tea.

Finally, the conclusion is that chrysanthemum tea is not suitable for long-term drinking, because it may change a person's physique, and people who are allergic to chrysanthemum, people with cold constitution and pregnant women are not suitable for drinking.

You Lan asked: Is it harmful to health to drink chrysanthemum tea every day? What should I pay attention to?

Chrysanthemum is a good thing, but drinking chrysanthemum tea is very particular. For example, wild chrysanthemum is very cold, so don't use it often, otherwise it will be a nightmare for people with bad stomach. There are many kinds of chrysanthemums on the market now, so it is often difficult for chrysanthemum friends to choose.

Chrysanthemum is a variety with regional characteristics. Don't think it's good to be full of chrysanthemums. In fact, even if the same chrysanthemum is planted in different places, its effect is quite different.

For example, the village near us planted white chrysanthemums a few years ago. Everyone should know about Hang Ju Hua, right? In fact, the word "Hangzhou" is just a nominal name. Hangzhou is low in altitude, so it is difficult to grow chrysanthemums. Where are the really good chrysanthemums? Let me tell you something, in Huizhou. In the past, many good things in Huizhou were labeled as "Hangzhou", which was actually related to the blocking of ancient information. Many Huizhou in history are famous in Hangzhou, so everyone is used to naming some Huizhou specialties as Hangzhou. This is a historical story, so I won't repeat it here.

After planting chrysanthemums for several years, suddenly one year, farmers found that the price of chrysanthemums fell sharply, and it was not a problem for "well-informed people" to feed back the chrysanthemum market. However, when testing the pesticide residues of Chrysanthemum morifolium, it was found that the pesticide residues were high. What is the reason?

It is precisely because the altitude is too low (300 meters) that chrysanthemum must use a lot of pesticides in the growth stage to ensure that there are no pests and diseases. After the introduction of chrysanthemum in our village (600 meters), the result is still the same, that is, the variety relationship. Now you can imagine the state of white chrysanthemums planted in those low-altitude places. If you drink this chrysanthemum every day, it is not as good as boiled water for your health.

So, now we plant less chrysanthemums and plant Huang Jinju instead. Huang Jinju basically does not need to spray pesticides in high mountains (above 500 meters above sea level), and it may only need to spray pesticides once a year in June and July. After August, the climate on the mountain has not adapted to the breeding of pests and diseases. However, the picking time of Huang Jinju in high mountains is late, and it is from the end of September to the beginning of 10 in low altitude areas. In Huang Jinju, however, it will only be picked about 1 1.4, and the growth cycle is longer, so chrysanthemum contains more effective substances.

Huang Jinju in the mountains is warmer. It doesn't hurt the stomach like wild chrysanthemums. People of any constitution can drink it. Throw a few medlars when soaking chrysanthemum tea, which not only looks better, but also can stimulate appetite and make the tea soup milder.

The picture above shows the white chrysanthemum planted before. Although it is planted in high mountains, there are inevitably too many pesticide residues, so it is not recommended to drink this chrysanthemum, let alone those planted in plain areas.

Drink chrysanthemum tea every day, is it harmful to your health? What should I pay attention to? It depends on your physical condition. Chrysanthemum has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, calming liver yang, clearing liver-fire, improving eyesight, and clearing away heat and toxic materials, but it is not suitable for people with cold constitution with weak spleen and stomach. When did this chrysanthemum eating begin? Let's analyze it together.

The history of eating chrysanthemums

1, Chrysanthemum in Shennong's Herbal Classic

As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a medical book called Shennong Herbal Classic, which recorded that chrysanthemum was used as medicine. It is mentioned in the book that eating chrysanthemum is not only non-toxic, but also very beneficial to the body, and there is no side effect when eating more. It is also pointed out that it can prolong life, indicating that the ancients began to eat chrysanthemum a long time ago.

2. Tao Yuanming also likes to eat chrysanthemums.

We are familiar with Tao Yuanming's poem: "Pick chrysanthemums under the east fence and see Nanshan leisurely." When I was at school, I always thought that Tao Yuanming just liked chrysanthemums. I planted many chrysanthemums at the foot of Nanshan and picked some chrysanthemums to decorate my room. I looked up and saw the opposite Nanshan, living a leisurely retirement life. In fact, according to the popular saying of famous literary research experts, it turns out that Mr. Tao picked chrysanthemums to eat them, hoping to borrow chrysanthemums for longevity, which is not so detached and quiet. Teacher Yao Yao also analyzed that Tao Yuanming believed in Taoism at that time, and the "Nanshan" in the poem was also the "longevity of Nanshan" in the Book of Songs. In other words, Nanshan symbolizes longevity. In Mr. Tao's view, he hopes to make himself healthy and live longer by taking chrysanthemum.

What are the effects and taboos of chrysanthemum?

1, dispersing wind and heat, calming liver yang, clearing liver and improving eyesight, and clearing away heat and toxic materials.

Wind-heat refers to cold and fever, such as fever, headache and cough caused by wind-heat in the early stage of cold. However, drugs alone can not achieve the therapeutic effect, and treatment must be carried out according to specific conditions. Liver yang refers to dizziness, and clearing away heat and toxic materials refers to some swollen sores.

Although chrysanthemum has many functions, it is not suitable for people with deficiency and cold constitution. There are also pregnant women and patients with allergic colds who are not suitable for taking chrysanthemums. In addition, chrysanthemum tea is not suitable for long-term large-scale use, nor can it be brewed with tea, especially overnight chrysanthemum tea must be poured out and can not be drunk.

Tea culture has a long history in China, and the most common tea culture is reflected in our common hospitality. If a guest visits, we will definitely pour a cup of tea for the guest to express our gratitude and welcome to the guest and make the guest feel at home. In real life, besides tea, we often make some scented tea to drink, and the most common one is chrysanthemum tea. There are many kinds of chrysanthemum tea, such as: Gongju, Hangbaiju, Chuju, Wild Chrysanthemum and Tibetan Chrysanthemum. Different kinds of chrysanthemums have different scents and postures after blooming in boiling water.

What are the benefits of drinking chrysanthemum tea?

As we all know, chrysanthemum tea is a drink for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat in summer, but in fact, its effect is not limited to this.

Chrysanthemum tea has so many benefits, can everyone drink it?

In fact, the properties of chrysanthemum tea determine that some people are not suitable for drinking.

Conclusion: Chrysanthemum tea should not be drunk every day. Although it has many functions, drinking chrysanthemum tea every day will do harm to the spleen and stomach; Chrysanthemum tea can generally be drunk for 3 to 5 days a week, and people with cold constitution and physical weakness should drink less; Chrysanthemum tea can be drunk all the year round, but it is best for normal people to make tea with chrysanthemum not more than five at a time.

According to the record of chrysanthemum in the Outline, chrysanthemum, as the ancients said, can dispel wind and heat, benefit the liver and tonify yin, but I don't know that it can especially benefit the golden water, so it can make a fire. If the gold is beneficial, the wood will be flat, and the wood will be flat and the heat will be removed. Its purpose is profound and subtle.

Meridian tropism: lung and liver meridians.

Function: Dispelling wind and clearing heat, calming liver and improving eyesight. Used for wind-heat cold, headache, dizziness, red eyes, swelling and pain, blurred vision.

Not everyone is suitable for drinking chrysanthemum tea. The following situations need attention:

1. Chrysanthemum tea can't be drunk overnight.

Especially those with stomach cold and physical weakness are prone to diarrhea.

2, spleen and stomach deficiency is not suitable for drinking.

Chrysanthemum is sweet and bitter, slightly cold and easy to cause stomach discomfort.

3. People with yang deficiency are not suitable for drinking.

Chrysanthemum is slightly cold, and people with yang deficiency drink too much chrysanthemum tea with the function of clearing heat and purging fire, which will cause further harm to healthy qi, so you should know your constitution before drinking it.

In modern society, many people like to drink chrysanthemum tea, thinking that chrysanthemum tea can dispel fire and improve eyesight. Someone asked, is drinking chrysanthemum tea harmful to your health every day? What should I pay attention to? Before answering this question, tell a joke about the benefits of chrysanthemum tea to the eyes:

As an IT person, I watch computers at work all day. After drinking chrysanthemum tea recently, I feel that my eyes are not as dry after work every day as before drinking tea. It really works! Why? I thought about it carefully when I was making tea today. The reason may be that I stared at the computer all day before when I didn't drink tea. But after I start drinking chrysanthemum tea, I need to leave the computer to get water, soak for a while, leave the computer to pour water, and then fill it up. Then I left the computer ten minutes later, picked up the cup and blew it to see if I could drink it. Ten minutes later, I took a sip and it was delicious. In ten minutes, alas, I have to go to the toilet, so I will sit for a while before drinking. The water is cold, it's time to turn on the hot water ... this is probably why chrysanthemum tea makes my eyes feel less dry than before! Ha ha laugh

Efficacy of chrysanthemum tea

Before answering this question, let's talk about the benefits of drinking chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum is cool and bitter, and belongs to lung and liver meridians. Its main components are volatile oil, chrysanthemin, amino acids and flavonoids. It has the effects of dispelling pathogenic wind, clearing away liver heat, improving eyesight, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and can be used for the first onset of wind-heat common cold and epidemic febrile disease. Hyperactivity of liver yang, headache and dizziness; Eyes are red, swollen and painful, and the vision is blurred; Treat sores, carbuncle, swelling and toxin, etc.

What is the effect of drinking chrysanthemum tea in spring?

In spring, everything germinates, the yang rises, and the water in the human body is easy to lose. Coupled with improper diet, lack of sleep and other factors, it is easy to cause symptoms such as hyperactivity of liver yang, sores on the mouth and tongue, toothache with red eyes and epistaxis.

Therefore, it is advisable to drink chrysanthemum tea in spring. Chrysanthemum is a famous product in spring tea, which has a sedative effect on the central nervous system and has a significant effect on nervous headache and dizziness. Chrysanthemum has excellent heat dissipation effect, so it is often used for early symptoms of colds such as exogenous wind-heat, chills, slight sweating, etc., and is also very effective in preventing colds.

In addition, chrysanthemum is rich in provitamin A, which is an important substance to maintain eye health. People who deal with computers or electrical appliances all day will be particularly tired because they are exposed to more radiation. If they often drink chrysanthemum tea, their eyes will be less tired, their blood pressure will not rise, and their mood will be more stable. Drinking chrysanthemum tea regularly can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Drinking chrysanthemum tea for a long time can increase calcium, regulate myocardial function and reduce cholesterol. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to prevent epidemic conjunctivitis.

What should I pay attention to when drinking chrysanthemum tea?

Said so much about the benefits of drinking chrysanthemums. So, is drinking chrysanthemum tea harmful to your health every day? Chrysanthemum should not be abused. People with deficiency and cold constitution, if they blindly drink chrysanthemum tea with the effect of clearing away heat and purging fire, will easily damage healthy qi, and the more they drink, the weaker they become. Especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, drinking more cool chrysanthemum tea is easy to cause stomach discomfort and lead to acid reflux. People who are afraid of cold, weak spleen and stomach and have more nocturia should not drink chrysanthemum for a long time even if they get angry. In addition, pregnant women and people who have a cold and sweat should not drink more chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums of different colors can often be seen in the market, among which the colors are: Huang Juhua and White Chrysanthemum. In fact, different colors of chrysanthemums have different effects. Some experts pointed out that, generally speaking, Huang Juhua has a strong ability to disperse wind and heat, while white chrysanthemum has a better ability to calm the liver and improve eyesight. For the elderly who like to make tea to improve their eyesight, it is generally recommended to drink tea soaked in white chrysanthemums; If you want to drink chrysanthemum tea because of wind-heat cold, you can soak chrysanthemum tea.

Finally, I would like to remind you that under normal circumstances, chrysanthemum tea is most suitable for people with dizziness, red eyes, sore throat, liver fire and high blood pressure. People with allergies should try one or two flowers first if they want to drink chrysanthemum tea. If there is no problem, they should soak more, but not drink too much. In addition, because chrysanthemums are cool, it is best not to drink too much because of long illness, spleen and stomach weakness and diarrhea.

Chrysanthemum tea has been China people's favorite tea since ancient times. It has been recorded in ancient books that chrysanthemum tea was produced in China as early as the Tang Dynasty, and then gradually spread to the general public, and even spread all over the country in the Qing Dynasty.

Chrysanthemum is sweet, bitter and cold-resistant in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of dispelling wind and cooling, clearing liver and improving eyesight, as well as detoxification and anti-inflammation.

Because the nature of chrysanthemum tea itself is cold, and the steps of making chrysanthemum tea include drying in the shade, the nature of chrysanthemum tea is even colder, so if you drink chrysanthemum tea too much, it may bring some cold evil to your body. The so-called disease enters from the mouth, and cold pathogens may have adverse effects on all organs of the whole body. So people with cold constitution are not suitable for drinking chrysanthemum tea.

If you still drink chrysanthemum tea occasionally, there is generally no problem. If you drink chrysanthemum tea every day, you'd better go to see a Chinese doctor first to find out whether your constitution is suitable for drinking chrysanthemum tea, so as not to do harm to your body.

Making tea is a popular food culture in China. Besides the common black tea and green tea, some herbs are also used to make tea, such as dandelion tea, clove tea and chrysanthemum tea. Various teas have different effects, among which chrysanthemum tea mainly has the functions of clearing away heat and reducing fire, soothing the liver and improving eyesight.

Drink chrysanthemum tea every day, is it harmful to your health? What should I pay attention to?

Some people like to drink black tea, some people like to drink green tea, and some people like to drink chrysanthemum tea, so can chrysanthemum tea be drunk every day? I think you can drink it every day if you are not the kind of person with cold constitution such as weak spleen and stomach and low immunity. Chrysanthemum tea is cold, which is more suitable for people with excessive internal heat, oral ulcer and hemorrhoids, which means that drinking chrysanthemum tea can reduce fire.

In addition, chrysanthemum tea can improve eyesight. For people who use their eyes for a long time every day, drinking chrysanthemum tea can relieve fatigue, and the effect is quite obvious. Personally, I prefer chrysanthemum tea, which is sweet and refreshing, but I only drink one cup every day. Be careful not to drink overnight tea. People with cold hands and feet, gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea should not drink it, which may aggravate the symptoms.

The Chinese nation has a national culture of more than 5,000 years, and China tea culture fully embodies the long-standing civilization and etiquette of the Chinese nation. When it comes to tea, there are many varieties in China, which can reach thousands. Chrysanthemum tea belongs to the most common and common kind of flower tea.

Chrysanthemum tea, as its name implies, is a kind of herbal tea made of chrysanthemum. At the high temperature of boiling water, the tea leaves release the unique fragrance of chrysanthemum, and because of its effect of clearing liver and improving eyesight, chrysanthemum tea is deeply loved by ordinary people.

What effect does drinking chrysanthemum tea often have?

I believe most southerners know that chrysanthemum has the functions of cooling, reducing fire, moistening throat, clearing liver and improving eyesight. In the eyes of southerners, chrysanthemum tea has the function of herbal tea. In addition to the above functions, chrysanthemum also has the functions of dispelling wind and clearing heat, and can be used to treat wind-heat cold, dizziness, anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-tumor.

What should I pay attention to when drinking chrysanthemum tea?

Although chrysanthemum tea is good, don't drink too much. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that chrysanthemum is cold. For some people with yin deficiency constitution, it is unnecessary to drink chrysanthemum tea too much. Pregnant women, lying-in women, lactating women, frail elderly and other special groups must not drink chrysanthemum tea. From the point of view of western medicine, although the composition of chrysanthemum will not directly harm the physique of ordinary people, chrysanthemum tea should not be drunk for special people, such as those who are allergic to chrysanthemum pollen. People with allergies can drink chrysanthemum tea, which can cause rash, such as itching all over the body, laryngeal edema and respiratory spasm in severe cases, and life-threatening in severe cases.

The older generation often teaches us that no matter what kind of tea it is, it is best not to drink it overnight, and so is chrysanthemum tea.

Tao Yuanming's poems represent the life that many people yearn for. Chrysanthemum originated in China and has been cultivated for more than 2,500 years. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking chrysanthemum tea has become a habit. Come home after a hard day, make a cup of chrysanthemum tea and watch the chrysanthemums stretch in the water. The fragrance fills the room and fatigue disappears. Let's see what effect chrysanthemum tea has.

1. Chrysanthemum is a cool exterior-relieving medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, which can dispel cold and stop diarrhea.

Entering the lung meridian can disperse wind and heat and clear the head; Entering the liver meridian can clear away heat and benefit yin, calm the liver and improve eyesight. Its main functions are dispersing wind and heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. Indications are various diseases caused by wind-heat, liver-heat and heat toxin.

Chrysanthemum tea can be used for the following diseases:

Wind-heat cold has cough, yellow phlegm, sore throat, yellow nose and so on.

Red eyes, swelling and pain caused by wind-heat or liver fire, easy to get angry, dry mouth and bitter taste.

Liver yin deficiency and blindness.

Wind-heat headache, liver-yang headache, dizziness, dry eyes, tinnitus, etc.

Heat toxic sores and swelling.

2. Chrysanthemum tea has so many functions, is it harmful to drink it every day?

Chrysanthemum tea can really calm the liver and improve eyesight, but Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. Chrysanthemum tastes bitter and cold, and it is used as a pungent and refreshing drug for wind-heat, liver-fire and heat-toxin. If you don't have symptoms of excess heat, if you drink it every day, the problem should not be great. If you take it in large quantities every day, consider that the medicine is cold. Long-term use may damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, which is not suitable for those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

3. What are the precautions?

The blurred vision caused by liver and kidney deficiency is best matched with medlar. Chrysanthemum is slightly cold, sweet, clearing liver and improving eyesight, and Lycium barbarum is sweet, nourishing liver and kidney and improving eyesight. The combination of two medicines and two swords has the strongest effect of nourishing liver and kidney and improving eyesight.

The functions of white chrysanthemum and yellow chrysanthemum are slightly different. There are more than 3,000 varieties of chrysanthemums in China, including medicinal chrysanthemums and ornamental chrysanthemums. Medicinal chrysanthemums include white chrysanthemums and yellow chrysanthemums, with slightly different functions. Huang Juhua is used to disperse wind and heat, and white chrysanthemum is used to calm the liver and improve eyesight.

4. How to drink chrysanthemum tea?

You can make tea directly, 3~5 at a time, and brew in boiling water for about 5 minutes. After soaking, you can add honey or rock sugar to taste.

You can also add Fructus Lycii, Fructus Jujubae, Fructus Crataegi, etc. into the chrysanthemum tea and soak them together to increase the health care effect.

You can also add chrysanthemum to other tea leaves for soaking. Longjing calls it "Kikumaru Eiji" and Pu 'er calls it "Chrysanthemum".

For example, chrysanthemum tea does have the effect of calming the liver and improving eyesight, but chrysanthemum is cold, which is mostly used for diseases caused by wind-heat and liver-heat, including dim eyes caused by liver-yin deficiency or red eyes and swelling caused by liver-heat. It is not advisable to take a large amount every day, otherwise it may damage the spleen and stomach yang.
