It is said that the people of Guangdong are the ones who like to ask for it. What do you say? Coke, Sprite, Net Red Tea, It's not as good as a cup of herbal tea, hot and humid, but even with a bowl of soup at home. "Eat noodles and eat at night" is the classic of Cantonese life. However, a cup of black tea and bitter haha herbal tea is not suitable for everyone.
There are more and more people with yang deficiency.
The custom of drinking herbal tea is to start with the history of geography and culture in Guangdong.
The first batch of youth famous Chinese medicine in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the domestic systematic study of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and the classics for the treatment of dermatology experts, Ouyang Weiquan, a professor at Gushi Tang pointed out that before the rain was abundant, summer in Guangdong, In addition, the former working people, especially the manual workers, are mostly physically active in long-term work and become strong. The external moisture and hot air are more than the internal physical constitution. This part of the people is likely to feel 'Damp heat'.
Herbal tea with clear heat and dampness is good for these people. Traditional herbal teas with hot and cold dampness in Guangdong often contain ingredients such as Abrus cantoni, Miancao Chan, Plumeria, Prunella vulgaris, Smilax glabra, Fotan, Cloth leaves, etc. However, Time shifts, we gradually bid farewell to open-air operations, and mental workers are increasing. Our bodies are incomparable with those of the ancestors who were sweating under the sun and piers. On the other hand, the ancestors do not have as much air conditioning and cold drinks. Therefore, With the transformation of the external environment and internal physique, our ancestors can 'eat hardship'. We may not be able to. The herbal tea for heat and dampness is not suitable for every Cantonese.
What's more, people in office buildings who work late nights in air-conditioned rooms are likely to have a lot of 'yang deficiency' physique.
The so-called yang deficiency is that it is easy to feel tired. The body feels heavy and sleepy for a long time. The hands and feet are easy to be cold. They are prone to sweating but are afraid of blowing air-conditioning fans for a long time. The stomach is afraid of catching cold. If you eat cold, you will feel uncomfortable. .
Ouyang Weiquan said that because many office owners do not love sports, they produce yang, and if they are long-term, they can easily become yang; secondly, in the past, people responded to changes in the weather, the hot days sweated, and now air conditioners and cold drinks surround them. No chance to sweat, it's easier to get yang.
The yang deficiency must be dampness and dampness. Those remedy for heat and dampness, such as cotton capillaris and kapok, are all cool and cannot be warmed.
For the 'white-collar workers' who are easily yang, Ouyang Weiquan suggested:
Office owners are more likely to eat warm food
1 Avoid staying up late
It will hurt yang during the day and night. “Yi Shiyi Yangsheng”, the child's time is between 11pm and 1am. It is when the yang is started to grow during the day. At this time, it is necessary to fall asleep and yang can grow well. If not If you fall asleep, you'll be excited because of yang hair growth, but it's harder to fall asleep later. Therefore, you should go to bed at the time of the night (9-11 pm).
2 more exercise
'Yang Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter', the summer outside the yang gas scattered, consume more, the relative lack of yang in the body, more exercise can make yang savings.
3 eat more warm food
'Winter eat radish summer eat ginger', reason is like this. Summer to eat warm things, such as ginger tea and the like. It is said that can not eat ginger at night? It is from a diet health point of view, means after dinner, gastrointestinal start Rest, if you eat ginger, it will stimulate gastric acid secretion. This bad eating habit will damage the gastric mucosa for a long time.
In summary, herbal tea is not something that everyone can drink. If you find that you have many symptoms of Yang deficiency, you still drink hot ginger syrup.
