Refreshing Tea Options for a Healthy May

What kind of tea is healthier and more beneficial to drink in May, a season of alternating spring and summer? Drinking tea can not only refresh the mind, eliminate drowsiness, but also help dispel cold evils in the body and promote the growth of yang energy. In the hot summer, it is easy to feel tired and sluggish. At this time, drinking a cup of fragrant spring tea can stimulate the senses and make people feel refreshed. So what kind of tea is healthy and beneficial to drink in May? Below, I will recommend several types of health tea.

1. Chrysanthemum Tea

Chrysanthemum has the effects of nourishing and soothing the liver, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and is especially suitable for drinking in spring. At the same time, it can detoxify and keep fit, dispel evil spirits and heat, dispel wind and heat, and soothe the throat and reduce swelling. It also has the effect of resisting and eliminating harmful chemicals or radioactive substances accumulated in the body. The best chrysanthemums are those grown in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area. Brew about 3 grams of chrysanthemum tea each time, and drink it three times a day.

2. Cassia Seed Tea

Cassia seeds have the functions of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, moisturizing the intestines and facilitating bowel movements, and reducing fat and losing weight. The anthraquinones and anthraquinone glycosides contained in them have the effects of relieving asthma, promoting bile, protecting the liver, and lowering blood pressure. They also have certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Fry the cassia seeds with low heat, frequently stirring, until they turn slightly yellow and emit aroma, but do not burn them. When making tea, take 20 grams of cassia seeds and put them in a teacup, pour boiling water and steep for a few minutes until the tea color turns light yellow and gradually deepens, with fragrance coming out.
 

3. Osmanthus Tea

Osmanthus tea is a superior drink that invigorates the spleen, opens the appetite, and regulates the liver and qi. It is also often used to relieve dry throat, dry mouth, bad breath, and toothache. Since osmanthus has a warm and pungent nature, it is best to combine it with cool green tea or oolong tea in spring. Take 3 grams of dried osmanthus flowers and 5 grams of green tea or oolong tea, brew them with boiling water for 6 minutes, and then drink.
