Does drinking Artemisia absinthium soaked in water have the effect of dispelling cold?

Many people like to drink tea in their daily lives, because tea can change the taste of pure water and also has the effect of quenching thirst. Therefore, many people like the method of brewing tea very much. Some use various flower teas, green tea, black tea, and others use common medicinal materials to make tea. This can not only nourish the body, but also prevent some complications. Artemisia absinthium soaked in water has a good effect of dispelling cold and can also prevent colds.

Artemisia absinthus is also known as white wormwood or wormwood

It is both a common food and a common medicinal material. The whole plant can be used as medicine. It tastes bitter and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. In my country, it is mainly distributed in provinces such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Wilderness, fields, roadsides and other relatively dry and sunny areas are more suitable for its growth. Artemisia absinthium has strong vitality and reproduces very quickly.

Artemisia absinthium is usually most effective when it is fresh and tender, so fresh and tender Artemisia absinthium leaves are generally used as medicine. Artemisia absinthium can be used directly to make tea, which can have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. If you have toothache or wounds, you can drink Artemisia absinthium mixed with water. However, this method of consumption is not commonly used. Artemisia absinthium is usually crushed and applied externally, so that the medicinal effect can reach the affected area directly and have a better effect. Moreover, when soaked in water and drunk, the bitterness of Artemisia absinthium will be fully brought out, and most people will find it impossible to swallow it. Patients with weak spleen and stomach should not take Artemisia absinthium internally, as this will aggravate the coldness in the body.

In addition to soaking in water and applying externally, Artemisia absinthium has many other uses. Artemisia absinthium can be used directly as a vegetable and eaten cold. Cut off the roots of the Artemisia absinthium, then soak it in light salt water for a period of time, add vinegar, chili, garlic and other seasonings, rinse the Artemisia absinthium with hot water, and put it into the prepared seasoning. This will greatly reduce the bitter taste of Artemisia absinthium and also has the effect of reducing fire, which is very popular in summer. Artemisia absinthium can also be used to make wine, but it should be noted that the wine used for soaking must be pure grain wine, so that there will be no interaction between drugs, and the effect of reducing fire and detoxification of Artemisia absinthium can be exerted.

The above is an introduction to the effects of soaking Artemisia absinthium in water and how to eat it. I hope it can provide some help to friends who are about to eat Artemisia absinthium. In addition, although Artemisia absinthium has many effects, it is not suitable for everyone. This also depends on the physical condition and specific circumstances. For example, people with weak spleen and stomach and pregnant women should eat it with caution, or not eat it at all. Artemisia absinthium is a cold food and may cause certain harm to these patients.
