Dialectical drinking pu' er tea
Pu 'er tea can be divided into raw tea and cooked tea, with different tastes: raw tea is bitter and slightly cold, and cooked tea is warm and sweet. So many people feel very different after drinking Pu 'er tea, which has a lot to do with the tea they choose and their physique. Let's briefly talk about some related issues. Due to my limited knowledge, please forgive me if there is anything wrong.
First, it has something to do with the stomach.
Chinese medicine believes that stomach diseases are generally divided into the following categories: ① disharmony between liver and stomach: epigastric pain, hypochondriac pain, sometimes accompanied by pantothenic acid, frequent belching, sighing, white or thin yellow tongue coating and slippery pulse. ② Deficiency-cold type of spleen and stomach: dull pain in the stomach, preference for warm pressure, severe abdominal pain, anorexia, pain, aversion to cold, cold limbs, fatigue, thin stool, pale tongue, thin and white fur and deep and thin pulse. ③ Deficiency of stomach yin type: heartburn and dull pain, dry mouth, anorexia, fever in hands and feet, dry stool, red tongue with little body fluid, cracks, little moss or flowering, and thready pulse. In order to further study, disharmony between liver and stomach can be divided into three subtypes according to undocumented symptoms: simple qi stagnation, heat stagnation and blood stasis; Spleen and stomach deficiency-cold type can be divided into two subtypes: simple deficiency-cold type and middle deficiency-cold qi stagnation type.
According to the above dialectical relationship, I think that friends with disharmony between liver and stomach and heat and blood stasis should not drink cooked tea, but drinking raw tea has a certain auxiliary effect on related diseases; However, people with deficiency of spleen and stomach and deficiency of stomach yin are suitable for drinking cooked tea, and drinking too much raw tea will aggravate the clinical reaction of the disease.
Second, it is related to physical fitness.
Modern Chinese medicine has put forward the following eight constitutions: yin deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution, qi deficiency constitution, blood deficiency constitution, yang excess constitution, blood stasis constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution and qi stagnation constitution.
The constitution of yin deficiency is characterized by emaciation, low fever, fever of hands and feet, hot flashes in the afternoon, flushing on cheeks, insomnia or night sweats, reddish tongue with little or no coating, dry stool, yellow urine and weak pulse.
The constitution of yang deficiency is mostly caused by the deficiency of yang and the weakness of dirty qi function. Symptoms include chills, cold limbs, spontaneous sweating, pale face, light mouth and no thirst, tired stool, shortness of breath and laziness.
The constitution of qi deficiency is mainly manifested as pale complexion, dull complexion, shortness of breath, laziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, intolerance to work, dizziness, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating when moving slightly, and it is easy to catch a cold at ordinary times.
People with blood deficiency are emaciated, pale, pale lips and nails, dizzy and palpitation and insomnia, numb hands and feet, pale tongue and weak pulse. Women will also be accompanied by light color and less menstrual flow.
Most people with yang-exuberant physique are characterized by strong physique, red face and irritability, loud voice, fear of cold and heat, thirst and cold drinks, short and red urine and smelly stool.
Most people with blood stasis constitution have dark complexion, dark lips, dark eyes, nail dislocation, easy bleeding, dark purple tongue or petechiae, thin and astringent pulse or knot.
Phlegm-dampness constitution is characterized by obesity, gluttony, mental fatigue, laziness, lethargy, weight, sticky mouth or loose stool, slippery pulse, fat tongue and greasy fur.
Qi stagnation constitution is characterized by emaciation or obesity, pale or sallow complexion, impatience, irritability, irritability, depression, chest tightness, sighing, red tongue, white fur and thready pulse.
Among them, Yang Wang constitution and blood stasis constitution are not suitable for drinking cooked tea, so some friends say that drinking Pu 'er tea will get angry, such as blisters on the mouth, acne on the face and constipation. If you really like to drink cooked tea, you can add some chrysanthemum, lotus leaf, cassia seed and other things. When brewing, the rapid brewing method is adopted. Tea soup should be light and not strong, and a little raw tea can be drunk during the day to achieve the balance of tea properties. People with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are suitable for drinking cooked tea. If you add a little Xifeng bean (Dendrobium), American ginseng decoction pieces, red ginseng decoction pieces and rhodiola root to tea according to your own situation, the fitness effect will be better. The characteristics of physical fitness are only for reference. As for which kind of tea is most suitable, it should be based on your own comprehensive situation. Pu 'er tea only plays an auxiliary health care role, and the usual diet, proper exercise and rest are the most important.
Third, it is related to the climate.
There is a saying in the imperial palace in the Qing Dynasty that "Longjing is drunk in summer and Pu 'er is drunk in winter", which is also a balance between the pursuit of tea and natural changes. However, in winter, the climate is generally dry, especially in the northern region. In the dead of winter, everyone likes to eat more food supplemented by isothermal beef and mutton. Spicy things such as onions, ginger, garlic and peppers are also used in condiments. If you eat too much, you will naturally get angry. At this time, drinking some raw tea in moderation can help digest greasy food and detoxify the fire. Therefore, it is not absolutely necessary to distinguish raw and cooked Pu 'er tea according to seasonal changes. My suggestion is to adjust according to my own situation and eating habits.
Fourth, about losing weight.
The slimming effect of Pu 'er tea has been proved by practice. Both raw tea and cooked tea have certain weight-loss effects, but there is no scientific and quantitative conclusion about whether raw tea is good or cooked tea is good, as long as you choose according to your comprehensive situation and taste preferences. In addition, what needs to be emphasized here is that the weight-loss effect of Pu 'er tea can't be compared with special weight-loss drugs! ! Pu 'er tea can reduce the absorption of fat by regulating people's gastrointestinal activities, but it does not absolutely prevent absorption, because people's fat needs metabolism. Fat plays a vital role in maintaining women's normal endocrine, and the chief culprit of most gynecological diseases is endocrine disorder! On the one hand, Pu 'er tea can reduce the absorption of fat, on the other hand, it can accelerate the decomposition and metabolism of old fat in the body. Only when the decomposition speed of fat is faster than the synthesis speed can it show its weight-reducing effect, which is certainly not as good as some weight-reducing drugs. Note: If you want to lose 10 kg or 8 kg in a month, or you want to lose weight to a "thin beauty" in a short time, then find another way, hehe! But what I want to say is that diet pills have certain side effects. If you sacrifice your health in order to lose weight, it is definitely not worth the loss! !
Verb (abbreviation of verb) about the year of Pu 'er tea.
Anyone who knows a little about Pu 'er tea knows that in the past, the cooked tea changed from raw tea to mature tea after a long period of aging, while the cooked tea with modern technology only accelerated this process through artificial fermentation. Due to the different market demand and consumption level, there are many grades and varieties of Pu 'er tea products in the market, and the prices are also very different. Choose according to your own spending power, and don't blindly follow suit.
Although Pu 'er tea is more fragrant and more expensive as it ages (both are relative), it does not necessarily mean that it is a good tea with a long history and high price. What is good tea? What suits your taste is good tea! ! Moreover, after all, there are too many J's these days, and there are also many J's in fake Pu 'er tea. The statement that "90% of Pu 'er tea in the market is fake" is mainly aimed at old tea with long aging period, because the market price of this kind of tea is extremely high and the profit margin of counterfeiting is very large; The main means of counterfeiting is to accelerate the aging of raw tea through wet storage, make so-called "aged old tea", or make the packaging of tea old to show the sense of obsolescence; In addition, the trademarks and packaging of big factories are counterfeited, or the terraced fields of artificial tea gardens in tea material are used as ancient trees in tea material (generally, trees and tea trees over 100 years old are called ancient tea or ancient tea). In view of the fact that it is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify the authenticity and pros and cons of aged Pu 'er tea, it is suggested that friends who are new to Pu 'er tea should not buy old tea to avoid being fooled. In addition, it is suggested that you buy less and taste more before buying, because Pu 'er tea produced by different manufacturers has different tastes and must suit your own tastes. Please consult knowledgeable people or invite them to drink together after buying.
