Life is precious; among all things in the universe, it is the most valuable. Therefore, when humanity recognized the value of life, our ancestors placed great emphasis on the way of health preservation. Using tea for health preservation was a major discovery of the ancient Chinese people.
Tea is the immortal elixir of health in the modern age, the marvelous method for extending human lifespan. Born in the mountains and valleys, its land is divine; harvested by people, those who consume it enjoy longevity. The reason tea possesses nutritional health care and health-preserving effects, and why it has become the world's best natural health beverage, is that tea leaves are rich in nutrients and medicinal components. Tea promotes health first because it is a spiritual product of nature, gathering the essence of heaven and earth and the vitality of the sun and moon. Drinking tea helps cultivate mental and physical health and a gentle character. Second, tea is free from pollution and contaminants, and contains extremely rich organic elements that benefit human growth and healthy development.
Longan and red date tea. Longan benefits the heart and spleen, and replenishes qi and blood. It has effects such as strengthening the body, calming the mind, and improving appetite. Red dates, sweet in taste and warm in nature, have the effects of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and calming the mind, making them an indispensable blood-nourishing sacred product. Longan and red date tea is favored by many women, helping to revive a good complexion from the inside out and delay aging. However, because longan is warm in nature, excessive consumption can easily cause internal heat and stagnation. Therefore, people with colds or coughs should avoid drinking it. Young people with strong internal heat should also drink less to prevent上火 (excessive internal heat). Due to the high sugar content of red dates, diabetic patients should be cautious. Moreover, the skin of red dates is difficult to digest, and eating too many can affect bowel movements. Best brewing method: 5 longan fruits and 5 red dates, brewed with boiling water. It is best to cut the red dates open. Rose tea. Rose itself has the effect of relieving depression, regulating qi, clearing heat, beautifying the skin, and calming the mind. However, people with stomach cold or diarrhea should not take it. Those who often feel tired or weak are also unsuitable, as it may increase fatigue. Best brewing method: Steep about ten dried rose buds in hot water, can be sweetened with honey. Chrysanthemum and goji berry tea. Chrysanthemum is cool in nature, with effects of dispersing wind and heat, calming the liver, and improving eyesight. It can be used to treat headaches, dizziness, and eye swelling. Goji berries, also known as the fruit of vision, can nourish the kidneys, moisten the lungs, generate fluids, and replenish qi. Brewing chrysanthemum and goji berries together has the effects of nourishing yin and blood, dispersing wind and heat, detoxifying, and improving eyesight. It is suitable for white-collar workers and students who spend long hours in front of computers. However, because chrysanthemum is cool in nature and goji berries contain plant hormones that can affect the endocrine system, people with stomach cold, women during menstruation, pregnant women, those with weak bodies and diarrhea, and individuals under 18 should drink less. Best brewing method: 5 or 6 chrysanthemum flowers, 5 or 6 goji berries, brewed with boiling water.
