What is the best way to drink chrysanthemum in water

Chrysanthemum is a common Chinese medicine in our lives. This kind of Chinese medicine is generally used to soak in water and drink. Its nutritional value is also relatively high. Most people use it to clear away internal heat and heat. Especially in summer, many people drink chrysanthemum tea, which is a kind of health tea. Chrysanthemum is divided into two types: golden and silver chrysanthemum and silver chrysanthemum. Different chrysanthemum colors have different effects. So what is the best way to soak chrysanthemum in water?

Chrysanthemum belongs to the liver and lung meridians. It has the functions of dispersing wind and heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight. It is used for wind-heat cold, eye swelling and pain caused by heat in the liver meridian, hyperactivity of liver yang, dizziness and headache. Chrysanthemum belongs to the liver meridian. People who are irritable and easily angered should drink chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum can relieve the discomfort caused by liver fire and is suitable for head and face fire. When it comes to the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, I wonder if you understand it. We often say that deer antler nourishes the kidneys and longan meat nourishes the heart, which is what Chinese medicine calls the meridians of medicine. Meridians refer to the organs that the medicine reaches. Chrysanthemum belongs to the liver and lung meridians, which means that chrysanthemum goes to the liver and lungs but not to the kidneys.

A lot has been said about chrysanthemum, so I won’t repeat it. I just want to tell you some things you may not know, such as what you need to pay attention to when drinking chrysanthemum.

As everyone knows, there are three types of chrysanthemums: yellow chrysanthemum and white chrysanthemum. Gongju, Haoju and Huaiju belong to white chrysanthemum. They are mainly good at improving eyesight, calming the liver and suppressing yang (insufficient liver yin cannot restrain yang). White chrysanthemum is mainly used for making tea. Huanghang chrysanthemum is yellow in color, and its effect in dispersing wind-heat is better than that of white chrysanthemum. It is mainly used to treat exogenous wind-heat, and has very good effects in treating carbuncles, swellings, and clearing away heat, and is often used as medicine. Wild chrysanthemum is bitter and cold, and can detoxify, clear heat and reduce swelling. It is effective for toothache and bad breath. However, it is generally not recommended to make tea for drinking, so as not to damage the yang energy of the spleen and stomach and cause adverse reactions such as stomach discomfort and diarrhea.

Chrysanthemum can also eliminate eye swelling

If you drink too much water before going to bed and your eyes are swollen when you wake up the next morning, you can use cotton to dip in chrysanthemum tea and apply it around your eyes. This will quickly eliminate the swelling. Beauties who have this problem may wish to give it a try.

Chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea is more suitable for menopausal women

Wolfberry nourishes the yin of the liver and kidneys, and is very suitable for menopausal women when combined with chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum can not only be used for drinking but also can be made into pillows

The chrysanthemum pillow is a traditional medicinal pillow that uses the temperature and pressure of the head during sleep to allow the medicinal ingredients to enter the blood circulation through the lungs through breathing, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and curing diseases. The chrysanthemum pillow not only has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, reducing swelling and detoxifying, but also has the effects of lowering blood pressure and treating headaches. Chrysanthemum pillows have a long history. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi and Lu You often used chrysanthemum pillows. The method of making chrysanthemum pillows is as follows:

1000 grams of dried chrysanthemum, 400 grams of Chuanxiong, 200 grams each of Moutan bark and Angelica dahurica can be put into a pillowcase to allow the medicine to evaporate slowly. Generally, each chrysanthemum medicine pillow can be used for about half a year.
