【Precautions for Peach Blossom Tea】
After learning about the benefits and medicinal values of peach blossom tea, have you considered its precautions? According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, peach blossoms have a descending effect on the body and can quickly stimulate the large intestine. Prolonged consumption can deplete Yin and blood, and damage the vitality. Therefore, drinking more peach blossom tea does not make you more beautiful or healthier, but rather weaker and less attractive. It can harm Yin and blood, especially for girls, as it can affect menstrual periods and hormone balance, making the skin duller. Peach blossom tea is a type of traditional Chinese medicine with a bitter taste, neutral properties, and functions of eliminating water retention, promoting urination and defecation, and expelling parasites. It is essentially a mild laxative, so it should not be consumed excessively.
