Mixing more than 3 kinds of herbal tea can cause poisoning

The principles of herbal tea pairing

Different herbal teas have different properties. Some are cold, some are warm, and some are neutral. People with different physical conditions should choose according to their own constitution. People with hot constitution should choose flowers and plants with cold nature, while people with weak and cold constitution are suitable for flowers and plants with warm nature. Most people can choose flowers and plants with neutral nature.

The main edible flowers and plants with cold nature include selfheal, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, locust flower, etc.

The edible flowers and plants with warm nature mainly include plum blossoms, jasmine, roses, roses, saffron, etc.

The flowers and plants with neutral properties mainly include albizzia, corn silk, hibiscus, lavender, etc.

It is best not to drink herbs with warm properties together with herbs with cold properties. When pairing, it is best to drink it reasonably under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner. Since each type of herbal tea contains its own properties and flavors, these different properties and flavors are likely to counteract each other, which can easily produce substances that are harmful to the body or even become toxic. In severe cases, it can cause adverse reactions such as panic and dizziness.

The more scented tea is combined, the more benefits it has, but also the more adverse effects it will cause to the body. For example, people with colds caused by wind and cold or during menstruation should not drink herbal tea with cold properties. If the combination is unreasonable and a large number of cold herbs are added, it will cause the cold to be difficult to recover from. For women during menstruation, it will affect the normal discharge of menstrual blood, causing blood stasis and blood stasis over time.
