We have talked about the benefits of drinking lily flower tea, which not only nourishes the lungs and stomach, but also makes you look radiant. In addition, lily flower is not only an effective Chinese medicinal herb, but also can be used as an ingredient in daily consumption. However, excessive consumption of lilies is not good for the body, and not everyone is suitable for consumption. Today, let's talk about the taboos for drinking lily flower tea and learn more about it!
【Taboos for Drinking Lily Flower Tea】
Lily flower is a perennial herbaceous plant with a taste similar to yam. In addition to some common nutrients such as trace elements, starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and carotene, it also contains some special nutrients such as alkaloids. Experts tell us that these alkaloids have good nourishing effects after entering the body, and are very suitable for patients with weak physique or suffering from tuberculosis and bronchitis, and also have a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine doctors tell us that in general, drinking lily flower tea does not cause any side effects, except for a few special groups of people who cannot consume lilies, most people can benefit from it for health maintenance. However, it is important to remember that all medicines have potential risks, so regardless of how great the efficacy of this medicine is and how many benefits it has for the body, it is not suitable for long-term or excessive consumption. Therefore, when drinking lily flower tea in daily life, special attention must be paid, and long-term or excessive consumption should be avoided.
The medicinal properties of lily flower are relatively mild, so there won't be any strong toxic side effects after consumption. However, pregnant women should never drink lily flower tea, and patients with weak spleen and stomach or diarrhea should also avoid consumption to prevent worsening of their condition.
Scientists have found in clinical experiments that although drinking lily flower tea has a certain effect in treating insomnia, it is more suitable for patients with mild insomnia. If the insomnia does not improve after drinking lily flower tea, the dosage should be controlled appropriately, or tranquilizers can be used to improve sleep, but long-term consumption is not recommended. This is because long-term and excessive use of tranquilizers can cause significant harm to the body and easily lead to drug dependence. If the insomnia has been relieved, it is recommended to reduce the dosage of tranquilizers and use traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment, which is the best choice.
When drinking lily flower tea in daily life, it is important to pay attention to the dosage. Only about 2-3 grams of lily flower should be used each time, and excessive consumption should be avoided. Then put the lily flower into a cup, steep it in boiling water for about ten minutes, and it will bring multiple benefits to the body.
【Storage of Lily Flower Tea】
In order to better maintain body health, besides paying attention to the precautions when consuming lily flower tea, it is also important to choose the best and high-quality lily flowers, so as to promote body health from the source. The requirements for storing lily flower tea are as follows:
1. The storage of lily flowers must be sealed. The raw materials can be placed in dark glass jars. However, many people think that if dark jars are used, the beauty of the lilies cannot be fully appreciated, so transparent jars can also be used for storage.
2. After putting the lily flower tea into the jar, it is important to ensure complete sealing to prevent the lilies from being exposed to air. If exposed to air, the lilies will absorb moisture, which may cause spoilage.
3. In addition to complete sealing, the lilies should not be exposed to strong light, as it will cause the fragrance of the lilies to dissipate and reduce the nutritional content.
4. Avoid high temperatures, as high temperatures can cause the lilies to spoil. Drinking such spoiled lily flower tea will not only fail to promote body health, but may also harm the body. Therefore, when storing lily flower tea, it should be placed in a cool and dry place, but the refrigerator should not be chosen, as it is not the best choice for storing lily flower tea.
