Drinking healthy herbal tea in summer is good! But these three types of people are not suitable, and the more you drink, the more you hurt yourself.

Herbal tea is not necessarily cold, but it is better to drink it hot, and the most representative one is Radix Isatidis.

Who is not suitable for drinking herbal tea?

People with qi deficiency should drink ginseng tea made of American ginseng and Radix Pseudostellariae in summer, not herbal tea. Cold-people who catch a cold in summer because the air conditioning temperature is too low or get wet in the rain, if they are afraid of cold and runny nose, drinking herbal tea can easily aggravate the symptoms, which is not conducive to the cure of colds.

Menstrual women are in a state of blood loss during menstruation, and their resistance decreases. At this time, if they drink herbal tea, it will easily lead to stagnation of qi and blood, poor menstrual discharge, leading to dysmenorrhea, and in severe cases, irregular menstruation. The mother who just gave birth to a baby is extremely weak. Drinking herbal tea is not only not conducive to the recovery of postpartum visceral function, but also hurts the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal cold pain in the future.

The spleen and stomach function of the elderly and children is relatively weakened, and the spleen and stomach function of infants is not perfect. Herbal tea containing Cortex Phellodendri and Scutellariae Radix is too cold, which will damage their spleen and stomach and cause indigestion, anorexia and diarrhea.

What weather is suitable for drinking herbal tea?

Although herbal tea is called tea, its ingredients are still traditional Chinese medicine, most of which are cold medicines. Long-term use will inevitably damage the spleen and stomach, and it is also easy to damage the yang of the human body. No matter whether you are cold or hot, you should not drink it for too long.

In summer, the sun is strong, especially in dog days, and the weather is hot. You can drink herbal tea for a while to cool off the summer heat, which has little effect on the human body, but you should make appropriate choices according to your own physique, spleen and stomach function and basic diseases. However, after beginning of autumn, the weather turned cold and the spirit of the sun began to lurk, so you should take it carefully. For people with weak spleen and stomach and the elderly, the time and frequency are shorter.
