Although dandelion has many good effects such as antiviral, heat-clearing and detoxification, and improving immunity, it is not suitable to drink it for a long time. Because dandelion is cold in nature, drinking it every day will irritate the body and cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In addition, people with a cold constitution should drink less dandelion water or tea, otherwise it will damage the yang energy and increase the burden on the body.

If you drink dandelion, you can pair it with some warm things, such as red dates, wolfberry, codonopsis, angelica, etc. This can effectively relieve the coldness of dandelion, while also regulating the bitterness of dandelion, neutralizing it and reducing its irritating effect on the body. It has auxiliary therapeutic effects such as tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lungs.
