Will eating black wolfberry cause internal heat?

Black wolfberry is a health supplement that many people like to drink by soaking in water. This is because black wolfberry, especially wild black wolfberry, has relatively high nutritional value. Of course, many people also believe that wolfberry can cause people to get inflamed. In fact, black wolfberry can indeed cause people to get inflamed, but if you don’t consume too much, it won’t cause people to get inflamed. Below I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about black wolfberry!

1. Will eating black wolfberry cause internal heat?

Generally not, but eating too much will cause sore throat.

Originally, black wolfberry tastes sweet, is mild in nature, and is slightly warm. Eating it in moderation is beneficial to the body and generally does not cause getting a sore throat. However, eating too much or eating improperly may cause getting a sore throat. Because black wolfberry has a strong effect of warming the body and has a good nourishing effect, if you consume too much at one time, it can easily cause getting a sore throat, especially for people with a hot constitution, who are more likely to get a sore throat.

2. How to eat black wolfberry to avoid getting angry

1. Eat no more than 8 grams of black wolfberry per day

No matter what kind of tonic it is, it should not be consumed in excess, and the same goes for black wolfberry. It is recommended to eat 5-10 grams of black wolfberry every day. Most people should not exceed 8 grams to avoid getting a sore throat. If you want to achieve a therapeutic effect, you can increase the amount to 10 grams. The specific amount to be consumed can be determined based on your actual situation.

2. Choose to drink it in water instead of chewing it directly

There are many ways to eat black wolfberry, such as eating it directly, soaking it in water and drinking it. Moreover, when black wolfberry is used to soak in water or cook soup, the medicinal effects cannot be fully exerted and anthocyanins are easy to evaporate. Due to the influence of factors such as water temperature and soaking time, only some of the medicinal ingredients in black wolfberry can be released into water or soup. If you chew it directly with your mouth, the nutrients in black wolfberry will be absorbed more fully, which is more conducive to the health-care effects of black wolfberry.

However, from the perspective of getting a sore throat, it is best to choose to soak it in water and drink it, because if you chew it directly, the chance of getting a sore throat is higher than if you soak it in water and drink it. Also, when chewing black wolfberry, you should be careful to reduce the amount you eat by one third, otherwise it is easier to over-nourish.

3. Taboos of eating black wolfberry

1. Black wolfberry has a very strong effect of warming the body. People with high blood pressure, overly irritable temperament, or those who consume a lot of meat on a daily basis and have a red face should not eat it.

2. Black wolfberry can nourish the liver and kidneys, but there is no need to take it if the liver and kidneys are not deficient. Those who are in good health and have no deficiency symptoms should not use tonic medicine. Those who have strong evil spirits but strong vital energy should not use tonic medicine indiscriminately to prevent "keeping the enemy inside".

3. People with cold deficiency may suffer from dislocation and diarrhea when taking this medicine. People with internal heat should use it with caution.

4. Some people eat too much black wolfberry, which causes red, swollen and uncomfortable eyes and blurred vision. Therefore, wolfberry should not be eaten often, as it is a partially toxic medicine.
