Drinking tea is China's ancient living habits and social etiquette, drinking health tea has become a fashion of life: a chrysanthemum, two red dates, a few goji berries, put into a cup with hot water, is a cup of color and flavor of the "health tea". Most of the health tea is in the shape of tea to exert the effect of medicine, with tea ingredients or traditional Chinese medicine, or with medicinal and food homologous raw materials, made for the purpose of health care. Although health tea has great benefits for the body, do not drink randomly, you must choose the right health tea according to your own physique, and you must not drink too much, otherwise you may suffer from it.

Drinking "tea" should pay attention to "tea" nature

Each kind of health tea has a special effect, we must choose the need for health tea according to the physical condition, in order to enjoy the health tea at the same time, to achieve the purpose of health care. Like the physique of the person can drink herbal tea, such as chrysanthemum, peppermint, bitter ding, etc. belong to the colder flowers and herbs, when there is sore throat, lung heat and other hot symptoms can be drunk, but after the symptoms improve to drink less or not to drink; gastrointestinal deficiency, usually eat some bitter melon, watermelon on the feeling of bloating and discomfort of people, should drink neutral tea or warm tea; ginseng Ganoderma lucidum tea is suitable for the elderly, low immunity or long-term illness of the first healing of the population, can replenish qi and blood, conditioning body functions, but yin deficiency fire, hands and feet are hot people should not take, female menstruation, People with high blood pressure or headaches are also best not to drink.

Some health teas should not be taken regularly

Because the flowers and herbs in each kind of health tea have their corresponding sexual taste and effect, we can use health tea to maintain health care, but sometimes drinking too much will also cause physical discomfort, and it is necessary to adjust according to their own physique when drinking. For example, there are many girls who like to soak a few slices of lemon to make lemonade, so as to supplement vitamin C, make the skin whiter, improve the body's immunity, but because of the acid, can not drink on an empty stomach, drink too much will also damage the gastric mucosa, not good for the teeth. For example, fat sea tea is used for sudden hoarseness of pronunciation accompanied by cough, thirst, sore throat and other symptoms, but if it is used as a health drink for a long time, it may lead to diarrhea, diet reduction and other symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency.

Material mixing needs to be paid attention to

The combination of flowers and herbs in health tea is mainly based on the symbiosis between sexual taste and efficacy. Although there are many combinations of health teas on the market now, in order to meet our own physical characteristics and avoid matching taboos, it is best to go to the Chinese medicine store to choose a suitable health tea. Edible flowers and herbs of temperate nature mainly include roses, jasmine flowers, moon flowers, plum blossom tea and so on. The edible flowers and plants of cold nature mainly include summer dry grass, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum and so on. The flowers and plants with flat nature mainly include acacia flowers, hibiscus flowers, lavender and so on. It is best not to match warm flowers and plants with cold flowers and plants. In terms of efficacy, if you brew the refreshing herbal tea and lavender together, the effect will be weakened. For example, cassia seeds have laxative effects, and lotus seeds have an astringent effect, which will weaken the laxative effect of cassia seeds.
