Eating a lot of oil and salt can cause constipation. Drink 3 teas to improve your intestines.

For many busy office workers, three meals a day are mostly solved by eating out. But do you know? Long-term consumption of oily, salty, fried, spicy, or even stale food may burden the gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrhea, constipation, abdominal distension and other discomforts. Chinese medicine practitioners said that people with the above problems can improve their condition by drinking tea that has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying.

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that there is no such thing as "detoxification" in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is called "detoxification." The so-called "poison" can also be called "external evil", which is commonly known as "evil spirit". Depending on the site of invasion, symptoms and treatment methods will vary. For example, common digestive tract diseases are related to the influence of evil spirits (viruses, bad eating habits) on the human stomach and intestines. When evil spirits invade the body, they will cause fire in the stomach and intestines, causing discomfort symptoms. Therefore, in treatment, it is necessary to target this organ and use drugs that clear away heat and detoxify to effectively improve the condition.

Poor eating habits can also cause stomach inflammation

The causes of gastrointestinal diseases are mostly due to poor daily eating habits of modern people. Bad eating habits can easily cause symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation, resulting in stomach heat, stomach fire, and intestinal fire. The treatment methods will also vary depending on the location and cause of the evil spirit. The following are teas that can effectively improve three common gastrointestinal problems:
