Teas & Benefits


THE BENEFITS OF TEA

Teas used in diet therapy are popular and each herb has its unique properties.

Tea as a food in itself can contribute a lot to the health and functioning of the body. Note its functions:

- Hydrate and lubricate the body

- Favor the skin, hair and lung functions

- Calm the mind

- Moisten the intestines

- Increase immunity

- Favor diuresis

- Favor the lymphatic system and eliminate waste

- Eliminate internal heat and reduce inflammatory processes

- Eliminate cold and boost metabolism

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Always observe the indications of the teas and respect their contraindications. Pregnant women should not consume teas, as many of them have the property of eliminating waste and this does not favor the baby that is being generated in the womb of the mother-to-be.

At the time of purchase, it is important to note whether the dried herbs have certain characteristics, as they may contain fungi and bacteria, as well as dirt.

Dried herbs must present: scientific name, popular name, part used, manufacturer's name, with company and address, name of responsible pharmacist, batch number and expiration date.

Above all, give preference to fresh, natural herbs to harvest more Qi (energy) and preserve the flavor of the tea.

It is also important to observe the properties of the tea you will consume and understand what your real need is. Drinking a refreshing tea on a hot day is fine, but drinking it on a very cold day may not be a good option.

Above all, look at your constitution. According to Chinese Diet Therapy, some people have a warm body and a tendency to dryness, often having dry skin and mouth. They need more teas (and liquids) than people who have a cold body and a tendency to accumulate liquids. For the latter group, the ideal is to consume teas that heat and boost the organism, precisely because they feel colder.
