In addition to directly buying ready-made sour plum soup, many citizens also come to take home the medicine package of sour plum soup and cook it themselves.

In addition, Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine recently launched more than one piece of sour plum soup, which was so hot that the system was paralyzed.
A cup of beautiful sour plum soup, and many netizens suggested that sour plum soup "have a cup of ice Chinese" and "increase hot drinks".
Many netizens said that the milk tea shop did not expect that it was the Chinese medicine hall that defeated them.
Drinking sour plum soup has many benefits, not just quenching thirst!
Plum juice drink, the earliest originated in the Shang and Zhou Dynasty, the "sult" mentioned in the "Book of Rites", that is, plum milk, that is, the use of plum to extract sour taste as a drink, was an important drink at that time.
The composition of the foundation of sour plum soup is composed of four flavors of plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel and licorice.
Ume taste sour, has the effect of collecting lungs, astringent, and nourishing;
Tangerine peel has the effect of rationalizing qi and strengthening the spleen, drying and humidifying phlegm;
Hawthorn taste acid, has the effect of eliminating food, strengthening the stomach and lowering fat;
Licorice flavor sweet, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification.
Therefore, sour plum soup has the effect of quenching thirst, clearing heat and relieving heat, increasing appetite, promoting digestion, etc., suitable for easy to get hot, loss of appetite and lack of energy or physical fatigue caused by summer humidity, in addition to maintaining the acid-base balance in the human body, reducing the accumulation of acidic substances, and preventing obesity.
However, the "universal formula" of sour plum soup is not suitable for everyone.
Cai Jun, director of the nutrition department of Shanghai Longhua Hospital, said that doctors did not expect that this tea suitable for midsummer would accidentally rise to "top health drink" when it was out of season.
"Not everyone is suitable for prescribing sour plum soup, doctors prescribe according to the patient's individual constitution and specific conditions, and the medication and dosage of each prescription are not exactly the same, and have different effects." Cai Jun emphasized.
Cai Jun reminded,
Sour plum soup, like other herbal teas, is contraindicated.For example, sour plum soup is generally put into rock sugar to correct the taste, and diabetics should limit drinking or not put rock sugar; Hawthorn in sour plum soup has the effect of activating blood circulation and dissipating qi, which is not suitable for pregnant women to drink in large quantities.
In addition, sour plum soup is not suitable for people with a cold and a thick yellow tongue. Sour plum soup tastes sour, but also on the gastrointestinal mucosa stimulation, spleen and stomach weakness, gastritis acid reflux, gastric ulcer, gastroduodenal ulcer is not suitable for drinking, children's spleen and stomach development is not complete, but also try to drink less.
According to Li Ping, chairman of the Traditional Medicine Special Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, tea substitutes, including Wumei drink, are not suitable for daily drinking.
Even if the safety factor of tea substitute within the same range of medicine and food is high, considering that it is still medicinal, long-term drinking has certain risks.
But it is worth mentioning that young people's "cyberpunk-style" health care allows the traditional Chinese medicine industry to "get out of the circle" again.
Many TCM experts were surprised and pleased that tea substitutes, including Wumei Drink, were once again favored by everyone.
Yang Zhen, a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, believes that people are not only improving their material conditions, but also more concerned about their physical and mental health and quality of life.
Tea substitute drink is a derivative of traditional Chinese medicine, a symbol of the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine, and also provides a new direction for cultivating more people's interest in traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition, Chinese medicine experts also advocate that the public should drink tea in season.
