In the formulation and compatibility of medicinal tea, we should also abide by the theoretical guidance of Chinese medicine theory, methods, prescriptions and drugs.
Generally speaking, the amount of Chinese herbal medicine used for drinking tea should be large when selecting fresh products, and small when selecting dry products. When used for health care, the dosage should be small, and when used for treating diseases, the dosage should be large. As one of the commonly used methods of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine instead of tea has a wide range of applications, and it is more easily accepted by everyone because of its advantages such as simplified formula, convenient drinking and taking, and sweet taste.
