Is dandelion cooling in nature? What can it be paired with to make it cool?

1. Is it cooling?

Dandelion has a cooling effect. Its roots and leaves can be used as medicine and it is one of the "Eight Great Kings" of Chinese herbal medicine. It is cold in nature and bitter in taste. It has multiple functions such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules, and promoting diuresis and laxative. It is both a medicinal material and a food ingredient, and is a plant that can be used as both medicine and food. In addition, it can also be made into tea, which is a very suitable beverage for daily drinking and has good health benefits. However, it should be noted that it is a cooling medicine and is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach or cold constitution. Otherwise, it will produce serious side effects and bring a certain burden to the body. It is also best not to drink or eat dandelions every day to avoid damaging the yang energy and causing cold symptoms.
