One-third of a person's life is spent sleeping, yet over one-third of people have trouble sleeping well. Some people sweat during sleep and occasionally feel hot flashes, which often trouble menopausal women. A cup of floating wheat tea can help alleviate the above discomforts.
The ingredients for floating wheat tea are very simple and can be purchased at a pharmacy: 30 grams of floating wheat, 9 grams each of Poria and Ophiopogon. Grind them into coarse powder and put them in a gauze tea bag. When brewing, place the bag in a thermos, pour 600–800 ml of boiling water, tightly close the lid, and let it steep for 20 minutes before drinking. It has the effects of nourishing the heart, calming the mind, and reducing excessive sweating, thereby improving sleep and benefiting mental clarity.
Finally, it is important to note that floating wheat tea is cool in nature. Women with a cold constitution or those during menstruation should avoid drinking it.
