Can chrysanthemum tea clear liver and reduce fire? Doctor: With these herbs, the effect will be better.
Drinking chrysanthemum tea is a habit of many people. It is not only convenient to drink, but also can bring good health care effect. However, some people find that they seem to be "incompatible" with chrysanthemum tea. When they drink chrysanthemum tea, they will feel stomach upset, either stomach pain or diarrhea. What's going on here? Liu Hao, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, said in an online interview with family doctors that it is very important to choose the right kind and collocation of chrysanthemums in order to drink chrysanthemum tea healthily.

Chrysanthemum tea is a favorite drink of many people, but Director Liu Hao told the online editor of Family Doctor that chrysanthemum tea should not be drunk casually, otherwise it is not surprising that there will be gastrointestinal reactions such as stomach pain or diarrhea.

"Chrysanthemum belongs to cold medicinal materials, especially Huang Juhua and wild chrysanthemum. If eaten alone, it is easy to suffer from bitter cold and damage the spleen, which will inevitably lead to diarrhea. Therefore, it is generally suggested that if you want to soak chrysanthemum tea, it is best to choose Chrysanthemum morifolium with relatively mild medicinal properties. At the same time, the human body is guided by the yang, and long-term consumption of cold food will damage the yang, so it is not recommended to drink chrysanthemum tea every day or for a long time. Especially for people with deficiency-cold constitution and weak spleen and stomach, the probability of discomfort such as diarrhea will be higher when drinking chrysanthemum tea, so it is not suitable for drinking chrysanthemum tea. "

Director Liu Hao specially reminded that although chrysanthemum is a versatile medicinal material, it is not suitable for drinking with green tea because of its cold nature, otherwise the symptoms will be more serious for people who are prone to diarrhea after drinking chrysanthemum tea.

People like to drink chrysanthemum tea, in addition to delicious, delicious, but also want to obtain a certain health care effect. It is generally believed that drinking chrysanthemum tea can nourish and protect the liver. Director Liu Hao said that this effect of chrysanthemum tea is not empty, but if we want to give full play to the effect of chrysanthemum tea, it may be better to mix chrysanthemum tea with other medicinal materials according to different situations.

"Because chrysanthemum is cold, you can choose some relatively warm medicinal materials, such as longan and medlar. According to the constitution and symptoms of the drinker, the medicinal materials selected will be different. For example, patients with a history of hypertension and dizziness can make tea with chrysanthemum and medlar to clear liver, improve eyesight and control blood pressure. If there is oral ulcer or facial scabies, it is good to use wild chrysanthemum to clear away heat and detoxify. For cough and yellow sputum caused by exogenous wind and heat, Huang Juhua can be used with mulberry leaves to clear heat. "

Chinese medicine pays attention to keeping in good health according to time, so Director Liu Hao pointed out that there are different seasons for drinking chrysanthemum tea, and autumn is better. "The focus of autumn health care is dormancy and sperm storage. At this time, drinking chrysanthemum tea will be better. As for winter, the focus of winter is to tonify the kidney, and the kidney is mainly Tibetan. At this time, drinking chrysanthemum tea may not be so good. You should choose other heavy herbs to make tea, such as lily and turmeric. "
