It’s so easy to eliminate edema! Ginseng and jujube tea nourishes the spleen without causing obesity

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the market for cold drinks and ice cream is about to start, but please be careful. Eating ice cream and drinking cold drinks frequently will cause disorders in the spleen meridian, poor blood circulation throughout the body, and easily lead to edema-type obesity. Chinese medicine practitioners said that in addition to good lifestyle management, drinking Codonopsis pilosula and red dates tea in moderation on a regular basis can regulate the spleen meridian and spleen function, replenish qi and nourish the spirit, and improve edema and obesity.

Codonopsis pilosula and red dates both have the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Brewing them into tea can help regulate the metabolic function of the spleen in women.

People with spleen deficiency are prone to retaining water, and the lower body cannot avoid edema-type obesity

Modern office workers sit for long periods of time, do little exercise, tend to eat heavy-flavored foods, and often eat and drink cold foods and sweets. This causes long-term damage to the spleen's function of transporting and transforming, resulting in a spleen deficiency, cold and damp constitution. Water is retained in the body and is not easily excreted, which can easily lead to edema-type obesity, especially in the buttocks and thighs.

Dong Yirong, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Lukang Christian Hospital, said that the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, which can make the food and nutrients eaten by the stomach more effectively digested and absorbed, enhance the body's immunity, and improve the physiological functions of other organs. More importantly for women, spleen meridian exercises have the important responsibility of regulating the female reproductive and endocrine systems. Once the spleen meridian is out of balance, the endocrine system will be disrupted and water metabolism will be poor. Even if the work and rest schedule is normal, the body will be particularly prone to edema, especially in the evening and before and after menstruation.

In addition to edema, when the spleen meridian is out of balance, the human body will also appear tired and listless, puffy all over, with loose and weak muscles in the limbs, excessive vaginal discharge, frequent diarrhea, and a dull and sallow complexion.

Office workers who sit for long periods of time without exercise and often eat cold food can easily develop spleen deficiency and edema-type obesity in the lower body.

The beauty of women! Codonopsis and red dates tea is good for nourishing the spleen

If women want to be beautiful, they should first cultivate a good temper! Chinese medicine practitioner Dong Yirong said that the spleen also has the function of regulating blood circulation. If you want to make yourself beautiful, avoid edema and puffiness, and have normal endocrine and menstrual periods, in addition to correcting bad habits that damage the spleen, drinking a cup of Codonopsis pilosula and red dates tea every day to remove dampness, reduce fat and nourish the spleen is also a good way to maintain health.
