Does "herbal tea" suit you?
The following five categories of people are not suitable for drinking "herbal tea"
1 people with yang deficiency constitution
Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, believes that the present lifestyle is different from the past, and many people have relatively reduced physical labor and outdoor activities. At the same time, in summer, the frequent use of air conditioners also weakens the yang in the human body with the rise of seasons. Many people's physique is in transition to yang deficiency, and they can no longer bear the cold stimulation [3].
People suffering from wind-cold and cold
In summer, people who catch a cold due to low air conditioning temperature or getting caught in the rain often have symptoms such as chills and runny nose. If you drink herbal tea again at this time, the coldness of herbal tea will easily contribute to the trend of cold evil, which will easily aggravate the illness and is not conducive to the cure of colds [4].
3 female menstrual period
Menstrual women are in a state of blood loss and their resistance drops. At this time, if they drink herbal tea, it will easily lead to stagnation of blood, poor menstrual blood discharge and dysmenorrhea. Severe cases can cause irregular menstruation [4].
4. Pregnant women and parturients
As the saying goes, "medicine is a three-point poison." For the sake of baby's health, expectant mothers had better not drink herbal tea. The new mother who just gave birth to a baby is extremely weak. Drinking herbal tea is not conducive to the recovery of postpartum visceral function, but also hurts the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal cold pain in the future [4].
Children and the elderly
Children are prone to get angry, the digestive and regulatory functions of the spleen and stomach are not fully developed, and they can't adjust the external cold stimulation in time. Under the action of drugs, a series of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea are prone to occur. The yang of the elderly is weakened, and it may also cause digestive system problems due to the cold stimulation of herbal tea [3].
How to drink herbal tea is correct?
Look at the symptoms
Herbal tea belongs to traditional Chinese medicine, and only the right medicine can be effective. What kind of herbs should be used to deal with what kind of symptoms, and necessary understanding and consultation should be carried out before drinking.
Look at the physique
Everyone's physique is different, and the conditions of yin and yang are also different. Choose herbal tea according to everyone's own situation. For example, people with cold body should avoid eating cold herbs and food, and even in hot summer, they should not drink too much herbal tea.
Look at the climate
"Sleepiness in spring, lack of summer and dryness in autumn" are common problems all year round, which should be adjusted according to the four seasons and conform to the natural rhythm. For example, spring is wet and heavy, suitable for drinking wet herbal tea; Summer dampness, suitable for drinking herbal tea to dispel summer dampness; Dry in autumn is harmful to body fluid, so it is suitable for drinking herbal tea that nourishes yin and moistens dryness [3].
