The toxins are leaving! Detoxify and nourish the liver in spring, female Chinese medicine recommends these 2 cups

The air we breathe, the food we eat, and even the waste products produced by the body can all be sources of toxins in the body. If they accumulate over a long period of time, they can easily lead to chronic inflammation and harm health. Therefore, more and more people are paying attention to the importance of "detoxification." However, Chinese medicine practitioners remind us that detoxification should be adjusted according to the changing seasons, and provide two teas suitable for spring drinking, which can detoxify and nourish the liver.

Detox! Detox! When detoxifying in spring, don’t forget to nourish your liver first!

The term "detoxification" comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Everyone accumulates some toxins in the body every day, and they must be removed as much as possible to avoid damage to body functions. Although detoxification should be done moderately 365 days a year, Peng Wenya, director of the Taipei Chinese Medicine Association, said that the health of the human organs is closely related to the four seasons and the theory of the five elements. Spring is wood, which corresponds to the liver. Therefore, before detoxifying in spring, don't forget to nourish the liver first.

The liver is a detoxification organ that can prevent minor physical ailments such as fatigue, anxiety, and irritability. It can also secrete bile, which is the raw material for breaking down fat, thus helping to lose weight and prevent obesity. In traditional Chinese medicine, if the liver is not in good condition, various illnesses will follow. People with insufficient liver blood often suffer from dizziness and numbness of the hands; people with strong liver fire are prone to irritability, bad breath, dry mouth, insomnia, dizziness and other discomforts; moreover, the liver opens up to the eyes, so a bad liver will also manifest in symptoms such as dry and sour eyes.

Drinking good tea in spring can help detoxify your body. Just rely on these two cups this year.

How to nourish the liver and detoxify in spring? Many people eat and drink a lot and sit for a long time during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, they return to the stressful workplace. The liver qi is not properly released, which not only makes them prone to constipation and weight gain, but also causes insomnia and irritability. Chinese medicine practitioner Peng Wenya provides two delicious liver-nourishing and detoxifying teas, which use the sour taste of hawthorn and roselle to enter the liver, achieving the multiple effects of soothing and nourishing the liver, calming emotions, and detoxifying and reducing fat.

【Hawthorn fat-burning drink】

• Preparation: Put 1 qian of hawthorn, tangerine peel, floating wheat and licorice into 250cc of hot water and soak for about 10 minutes. You can rinse the water repeatedly after drinking.

• Reminder: This tea has the effect of burning fat and aiding digestion. It is suitable for weight loss after the New Year or after eating too much meat. However, even if the same amount of herbs is repeatedly brewed, it is still not advisable to drink more than 1000cc per day. In addition, hawthorn tastes sour, so people with poor gastrointestinal function or gastric ulcers are advised to dilute it before drinking. The amount of hot water for each brewing can be increased to 500c.c., and then drank slowly in several times.

【Luoshen oxygen-boosting drink】

• Preparation: Take 2 qian of Roselle, 3 black plums, and 1 qian of licorice, put them into 250cc hot water, soak for about 10 minutes, and rinse repeatedly after drinking.

• Reminder: Roselle contains natural anthocyanins, multiple vitamins and minerals, has strong antioxidant properties, helps to burn fat, remove wrinkles and whiten the skin. In addition, its sour taste can protect the liver and nourish the body, making it a rare beauty ingredient for women. When the sourness of Roselle and Black Plum meets the natural sweetness of licorice, it tastes like lemon juice without the need for adding extra sugar. It is loved by boys and girls, the elderly and children. It is recommended to drink this tea after meals for better fat-burning effect. People with poor gastrointestinal function should dilute it and then drink it in several times.
