We all know that drinking more tea is good for health, especially medicinal tea, which has both the fragrance of tea and the efficacy of medicine. Therefore, we need to drink more herbal tea to ensure our health. Let's take a look at nine kinds of medicinal teas to treat diseases skillfully, hoping to help everyone.
Nine kinds of small medicinal teas can cure diseases skillfully: osmanthus tea: treating bad breath
Normal people secrete 1- 1.5 liters of saliva every day. In addition to assisting in eating and digestion, they are also natural cleansers in the mouth. Assuming that saliva secretion increases, it is easy to cause bad breath. It is for this reason that people who are often thirsty should drink more osmanthus tea. It can not only promote fluid production to quench thirst, but also prevent bad breath. Osmanthus fragrans, also known as Murraya, has a refreshing fragrance. The "osmanthus dew" distilled from osmanthus fragrans is a good product for invigorating spleen and appetizing, soothing the liver and regulating qi. It is also often used to relieve dry throat, bad breath and toothache, and soaking osmanthus tea has a similar effect.
Method of making medicinal tea: Because sweet-scented osmanthus tastes pungent and warm, it is best to mix it with cool green tea or oolong tea in spring. Take 3 grams of dried osmanthus fragrans and 5 grams of green tea or oolong tea, and brew with boiling water for 6 minutes before drinking.
People who are physically weak and often have a cold stomach can cook some hawthorn and osmanthus water to drink. 12g osmanthus fragrans with 6g hawthorn and 3g codonopsis pilosula, put them in a small pot, add 500ml water, and boil for about 20min. Drain the water and increase the batch of rock sugar. After cooling, it is often drunk as tea.
Qiju Tea: Relieve dry eyes.
Staring at the computer for seven or eight hours every day, no matter how good your eyes are, you can't stand it. Later, the eyes will protest and remind the "master" with tears. After a long time, tears can't keep up, and dry eyes have become a common problem of "computer family". Here, I recommend an eye-catching small medicinal tea-Qiju tea. Qiju tea is actually composed of medlar and chrysanthemum. Don't underestimate these two Chinese medicines. They have been used together to treat eye diseases for at least 200 years. The famous prescription of Chinese medicine "Qijudihuang Pill" takes Lycium barbarum and chrysanthemum as auxiliary drugs.
Preparation method of medicinal tea: 8- 10 capsules of Lycium barbarum, nourishing kidney and essence, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, 5-6 capsules of Chrysanthemum, expelling wind and clearing heat, calming liver and improving eyesight, and adding 300ml of hot water to make tea instead.
Chrysanthemum for dry eyes and Huang Ju for swollen eyes. When buying chrysanthemums in pharmacies, it should be noted that Huang Juhua is good at evacuation and purging, which is suitable for eyes that are sore and have secretions when he looks tired. White chrysanthemum has a strong function of nourishing liver and yin, which is more suitable for people with dry eyes and no tears.
Chenpi Tea: Helps digestion
When you meet delicious food, you will inevitably eat more, but your stomach will swell comfortably and even affect your appetite for several days. At this time, you might as well make a cup of Chenpi tea.
Preparation method of medicinal tea: take 5g of dried tangerine peel and two slices of ginger, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, and brew with boiling water for 15 minutes, once a day, 1 cup, 1 time, and it will have curative effect.
Chenpi tea tastes mild, assuming it is accompanied by bitter and other symptoms of "getting angry", so it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and strong fire. At the same time, when making herbal tea, never treat fresh orange peel as dried tangerine peel. This is because fresh orange peel not only does not have the medicinal effect of dried tangerine peel, but also the surface will be polluted by pesticides and preservatives.
Rose: the holy medicine to relieve depression
Patience, love to get angry when something happens, in the view of Chinese medicine, such people often have different degrees of liver depression and qi stagnation, and liver depression turns into fire. Might as well drink some herbal tea to recuperate, rose health tea is a good choice. Roses have the reputation of "the holy medicine for relieving depression", which has the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When you are patient or depressed, you can drink rose tea in moderation. In addition, it can also be added when soaking wine, making cake preserves and cooking.
Method of making medicinal tea: The most complicated method is to take 9- 15g roses every day, put them in a bright glass and soak them in boiling water for 5 minutes to replace tea. In addition, if the tongue coating is yellow and the mouth tastes bitter, 9 grams of chrysanthemum can be added to the medicinal tea. People who always feel weak due to qi deficiency can add 3-5 jujubes. Assuming that the internal heat is relatively strong, you can participate in 3 grams of lily and 3 grams of orange collaterals to enhance the power of soothing the liver and regulating qi, clearing the heart and calming the nerves.
Rose is not a "female medicine", as long as it meets the indications, it is also applicable to men. In addition, it is best not to soak roses in tea, because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which will affect the efficacy of roses. In addition, women with excessive menstrual flow should not drink alcohol.
Sophora japonica tea: clearing liver and purging fire
Chinese medicine believes that Sophora japonica has the effects of cooling blood, stopping bleeding, clearing liver and purging fire. Last time, it was used clinically to treat hematochezia, hemorrhoids, hematuria, wind-heat and red eyes. Because of its sweet taste, it is a good product with the same origin of medicine and food. In addition to making the classic food "Sophora japonica cake", it can also be made into small medicinal tea to drink. "Sophora japonica" is an open flower, and the unopened bud is called "Sophora japonica". Their medicinal properties are basically opposite.
Method for making medicinal tea: Take Flos Sophorae Immaturus10g, Flos Chrysanthemi10g, and Spica Prunellae10g, and add water for 30min to make "Qinggan Drink", which can clear liver, improve eyesight, clear heat and purge fire, and is often used for red eyes, swelling and pain, dizziness and headache caused by excessive liver fire. Assuming mild symptoms, you can take Sophora japonica 10g and Chrysanthemum 10g. Put them in a cup, add boiling water for half an hour before drinking tea.
Those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, or those with yin deficiency and no excess fire, should be used with caution to avoid cold stomach failure and damage to the body.
Ophiopogon japonicus tea: relieving dry throat
Ophiopogon japonicus is one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for nourishing yin, promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, moistening lung, clearing heart and relieving annoyance. Ophiopogon japonicus soaked for a long time will become white and fat, and its half-bright and half-dark appearance is very attractive. One day, you can chew it and swallow it. Ophiopogon japonicus tastes bitter, but it will be sweet after chewing. Suppose you don't like the taste, you can add some rock sugar or honey when brewing Ophiopogon japonicus. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, honey has a stronger effect of nourishing yin, moistening lung and relaxing bowels, which is suitable for people with dull skin and constipation; Rock sugar has a stronger effect of reducing fire and dryness, and is suitable for upset and irritable enemies. Suppose you drink a lot of water, but the urine is still yellow, you can add a lot of lotus plumule to Ophiopogon japonicus tea, which has the effect of clearing away the heart and relieving annoyance. Bottom line: Constipation with honey upsets lotus nut.
The making method of medicinal tea: when making tea, take 3-5 Ophiopogon japonicus, first brew with plenty of warm water for two or three minutes, and wash off impurities; Then change to 200-300 ml boiling water, cover and soak for15-20min, and then drink tea frequently.
Ophiopogon japonicus is cold, which is not suitable for people who usually have a cold stomach, fear of cold, cough and phlegm, or are prone to colds and diarrhea.
Floating wheat tea: antiperspirant and tranquilizing mind
People spend13 of their life in sleep, but more than13 people can't sleep well. Some people sweat when they sleep and sometimes feel hot flashes, which is often a problem for menopausal women. Let's make a cup of floating wheat tea to help you relieve the above discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that floating wheat has the effects of benefiting qi, clearing away heat and stopping sweating. All patients with spontaneous sweating due to yang deficiency and night sweats due to yin deficiency can be treated with floating wheat. Together with Poria cocos and Ophiopogon japonicus, the medicated tea has the functions of nourishing the heart, calming the nerves, astringing sweating deficiency, improving sleep, improving intelligence and calming the nerves.
The preparation method of that medicinal tea comprise the following step: grinding 30g of floating wheat, 9g of Poria cocos and 9g of Ophiopogon japonicus into coarse pow, and filling into gauze medicine bags. When soaking, you can put it in a thermos cup, pour 600-800 ml of boiling water and tighten the bottle cap. After 20 minutes, you can drink it instead of tea.
Float wheat tea is cold, and it is best not to take it for female enemies with deficiency and cold constitution and menstrual period.
Longan tea: relieving fatigue
Can you often suffer from insomnia due to busy tasks recently? You feel more tired than before. Look in the mirror, you don't look so pale. This may be a sign of deficiency of qi and blood. Might as well soak some longan every day. Longan, also known as longan meat, is sweet, warm and strong, can nourish the heart and spleen, nourish blood and soothe the nerves, and is a kind of nourishing good product with peaceful nature.
Method of making medicinal tea: People with insufficient qi and blood can choose 3-5 longan at a time. After peeling, put the longan directly into a thermos to soak in water instead of making tea. It should be noted that the first cup is best to boil for about 20 minutes before drinking. After soaking longan for 3 times, the meat and core will peel off naturally and can be eaten.
Patients with cold, fever, cough and excessive phlegm and fever should not eat longan or drink longan tea. Pregnant women are especially forbidden to eat. This is because pregnant women usually suffer from yin deficiency and get angry easily, showing symptoms such as stuffy stool, yellow urine and dry mouth. Eating longan at this time can not only nourish and preserve health, but also supplement internal heat, which can cause threatened abortion symptoms such as redness, abdominal pain and abdominal distension.
Boat-fruited Sterculia Tea: Don't drink it with a sore throat.
When catching a cold, some people have obvious symptoms of cold and fever, some people have a stuffy nose and a runny nose, and some people first have a sore throat and cough. For the last case, you might as well make a cup of boat-fruited Sterculia. Boat-fruited Sterculia is a dry and mature seed of deciduous tree Boat-fruited Sterculia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is cold and sweet, and has two major functions, one is to clear the lungs and relieve sore throat, and the other is to clear the intestines and relieve constipation. Therefore, it is often used for cold and sore throat, dry cough without phlegm, chronic pharyngitis, heat constipation and so on. Wind-heat colds often cause sore throats.
Method C: Put 1-2 pieces of boat-fruited Sterculia on a cup and drink tea for 3-5 days, which can obviously relieve throat discomfort.
There are two points to pay attention to when making tea with boat-fruited Sterculia. First, we must be differentiated. Boat-fruited Sterculia is cold, which is suitable for sore throat, dry cough or constipation caused by heat syndrome. A cold due to wind-cold or lung yin deficiency can also cause cough and throat discomfort, so it cannot be used. Moreover, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are prone to diarrhea. Second, don't drink for a long time. Boat-fruited Sterculia is a little toxic. Long-term drinking will increase the burden on liver and kidney, and it will also cause discomfort such as thin stool, increased diet and chest tightness. Therefore, it is not advisable to continue drinking boat-fruited Sterculia tea for more than 7 days.
Jujube tea: nourishing blood and calming nerves, invigorating spleen and benefiting qi
Jujube has the effects of invigorating spleen and qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and has always been the star of health care for ordinary people, but did you know that a brewing detail can make jujube lose many functions? Jujube skin is tough and difficult to digest. Assuming that the whole jujube is brewed, its effective components are difficult to completely dissolve, so it is best to break it before brewing.
It should also be noted that novel red dates should not be brewed or boiled. This is because its vitamin C content is high, which is 6 times that of fresh longan, 82 times that of apple and 26 times that of fresh litchi, so it is known as the "king of vitamins". Cooking with hot water will seriously destroy vitamin C.
In addition, jujube is good for health, but not as much as possible. Medium-sized red dates, it is best not to eat more than 15 at a time. Excessive consumption will damage digestive function, causing hyperacidity and bloating; When women have swollen eyes or feet and abdominal distension during menstruation, they are not suitable for eating red dates; Hot and dry women are not suitable for eating red dates during menstruation, otherwise they will have too much menstruation.
