Drinking tea for health benefits has become a habit for many people, whether at work or in daily life. For example, drinking flower tea in spring and black tea in summer. But do you know what tea to drink when you are feeling depressed or experiencing insomnia and vivid dreams? If you don't know, let's find out together with me.
[What tea to drink for insomnia and vivid dreams?]
[A cup of Sanqi helps you sleep peacefully]
Nighttime is a Yin time, which is a great time for the body to rest and recover. Sleep helps the body repair damage and replenish energy. Similarly, only with a calm mind and harmonized liver and spleen, providing sufficient nutrients to the body, can one sleep soundly and have good sleep quality.
Among tea drinks, Sanqi is worth mentioning when it comes to improving sleep quality. "Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement" says, "Ginseng is the best for replenishing qi, and Sanqi is the best for replenishing blood, making it the most precious Chinese medicine." Sanqi flower has the effect of soothing the liver, can balance excessive liver yang, and prevent liver meridian imbalance caused by excessive liver yang. At the same time, Sanqi flower can also regulate meridians and promote the circulation of qi and blood. When the circulation of qi and blood is smooth and the yin and yang between the heart, liver, spleen, and other organs are balanced, the mind can also be in a state of peace. Therefore, Sanqi flower water can help with sleep.
Use 5-10 dried flower buds, steep them in hot water, and discard the first brew to remove impurities. For the following brews, you can add some honey if desired. The Sanqi flower that has been steeped multiple times can be chewed in the mouth or stored in the refrigerator. When cooking stir-fries or stews, you can add some Sanqi flower to promote blood circulation and remove stagnation. By steeping the flower in water first and then consuming it, you can fully utilize the health benefits of Sanqi flower and maximize its therapeutic effects.
