2. Precautions for drinking scented tea
1. Some herbal teas should not be drunk often.
Herbal tea refers to a fragrant herbal drink made from roots, stems, leaves, flowers or skins of plants. Because each kind of flowers and plants has its own characteristics, taste and efficacy, if used properly, herbal tea does have a certain health care function, but it needs to be adjusted according to its own physique only for a period of time. Sometimes drinking too much can also cause physical discomfort. For example, Boat-fruited Sterculia tea is used for sudden hoarseness accompanied by cough, thirst, sore throat and other symptoms. If it is taken as a health drink for a long time, it will cause side effects such as deficiency of the spleen and stomach, thin stool and reduced diet.
2. Drinking "tea" also needs to be symptomatic.
The main purpose of people drinking herbal tea is to be healthy. Therefore, it is very important to know your own physique and the taste and efficacy of herbal tea.
For example, lotus plumule, chrysanthemum, mint leaves, boat-fruited Sterculia, bitter butyl, jade butterfly and so on. They are all cold flowers and plants. When there are fever symptoms such as lung heat syndrome and sore throat, you can soak them, but when the symptoms improve, you need to drink less or stop using them.
Some female health experts suggest drinking more rose tea and motherwort tea. Roses do have the effects of promoting qi circulation and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and are very suitable for women. However, women with severe qi deficiency should use it with caution and drink less to avoid aggravating the symptoms of qi deficiency. Motherwort has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and clearing away heat and toxic materials, which is more suitable for women with irregular menstruation, amenorrhea and abdominal pain. Those with less blood due to yin deficiency should avoid taking it, because the blood-activating effect of motherwort will lead to blood deficiency and yin injury.
There are also many women who like to make lemonade with a few slices of lemon, which can supplement vitamin C and make their skin whiter. Lemonade is rich in vitamin C, which can resist bacteria and improve immunity, but it can't be drunk on an empty stomach because of its acidity. Drinking too much will also damage the gastric mucosa, which is not good for teeth.
Women want to have a pair of bright and beautiful eyes without wearing makeup contact lenses. Cassia seed has the effect of improving eyesight. In addition, it also has the functions of regulating immunity, inhibiting bacteria, resisting cancer, lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipid and relaxing bowels. It seems to be an ideal drink, but it is not suitable for people with spleen and stomach weakness, diarrhea due to spleen deficiency and low blood pressure. In short, only scientific selection of herbal tea can achieve the purpose of health care.
3. The prepared herbal tea can have similar medicinal properties.
Now there are many combined herbal teas made by merchants in the market. If consumers buy, it is best to go to some Chinese medicine shops. The combined herbal teas sold here are generally prepared by Chinese medicine doctors, who will better grasp which drugs are compatible. However, some combined herbal teas sold in supermarkets or online should be carefully purchased, and it is best to ask people who understand Chinese medicine for help.
The collocation of herbal tea can be selected from the reciprocity of sex, taste and efficacy. In terms of sex and taste, most edible flowers are warm, cold and flat. The warm edible flowers mainly include plum blossom, jasmine tea, rose, Chinese rose and saffron. Cold edible flowers mainly include Prunella vulgaris, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Sophora japonica and so on. The flowers with flat sex mainly include Albizia Albizia, Stigma Maydis, Hibiscus, Lavender and so on. In collocation, those flowers and plants with warm medicinal properties should not be compatible with flowers and plants with cold nature. In terms of efficacy, if refreshing herbal tea and lavender are soaked together, the efficacy will be weakened; For example, cassia seed has a certain laxative effect. If paired with lotus plumule, the laxative effect of cassia seed will be weakened due to the convergence of lotus plumule.
4. Determine "tea" according to physical fitness.
Besides its medicinal properties, you should also pay attention to your physical condition when drinking herbal tea. Every kind of herbal tea still has special effects, so when choosing, on the one hand, you need to distinguish your physical condition. For example, people with heat constitution should choose cold flowers and plants, while those with deficiency constitution should choose warm flowers and plants, and most of them can choose flat flowers and plants. On the other hand, if you are taking medicine, you should be more careful when choosing herbal tea. For example, if you are taking antihypertensive drugs, you need to monitor your blood pressure to prevent excessive hypotension. Only by choosing the herbal tea you need according to your physical condition can you enjoy herbal tea and achieve the purpose of health care.
