It is best to drink less if the spleen and stomach are cold

Chinese medicine believes that chrysanthemum tastes sweet and bitter, is slightly cold in nature, and has the effects of dispersing wind-heat, calming liver yang, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and clearing away heat and detoxification. Modern research shows that chrysanthemum contains a variety of nutrients and has antibacterial, antiviral, antipyretic, and anti-aging effects. It is not advisable to drink chrysanthemum tea for a long time, generally 3 to 5 days is enough. People with a cold constitution may wish to add some wolfberry, and people with a cold spleen and stomach should drink less.

If people with yang deficiency constitution blindly drink chrysanthemum tea, which has the effect of clearing heat and purging fire, it is easy to damage the vital energy, and the more they drink, the weaker they become. Especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, drinking more chrysanthemum tea, which has a cool nature, can easily cause stomach discomfort and lead to acid reflux. It can be seen that using chrysanthemum tea to reduce fire and clear heat is also selective, and it cannot be the same for everyone.

Be careful when adding rock sugar to tea

When drinking chrysanthemum tea, some people like to add a few crystal sugars to enhance the taste. It is OK to add crystal sugar to chrysanthemum tea, but for people with diabetes or high blood sugar, it is best not to add sugar and drink the chrysanthemum alone. In addition, some people with spleen deficiency should not add sugar, because overly sweet tea will cause these people to have a sticky or sour mouth, increase saliva, and feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is better for people who are not clear about their own constitution to drink chrysanthemum tea without adding crystal sugar. When brewing chrysanthemum tea, just brew it with hot water.
