5 Great Herbal Teas for White-Collar Workers' Health

White-collar workers often experience suboptimal health issues such as back pain and acne due to long working hours and constant exposure to computers. So, how can we effectively address these problems? Below, I will introduce 5 great herbal teas for maintaining good health!

Herbal Tea 1: Chrysanthemum Tea - Protects Vision

Preparation: Brew 10 chrysanthemum flowers, 5 golden lotus flowers, 5 grams of cassia seeds, and 3 grams of goji berries in boiling water for 3-5 minutes.

Benefits: Staring at a computer screen all day can cause eye fatigue and dryness. Even if you don't have nearsightedness, it is important to regularly consume this tea to alleviate eye strain, fatigue, and vision deterioration caused by prolonged computer use. Golden lotus flowers soothe the throat and nourish the liver and eyes. Cassia seeds are helpful in treating eye disorders. Goji berries nourish the liver and kidneys, and improve eye fatigue caused by excessive eye usage, while keeping the eyes moist and bright.

Herbal Tea 2: Rose Tea - Protects Against Radiation

Preparation: Steep 8 roses, 2 rose tomatoes, 2 grams of green tea, and 2 grams of vetch in 90℃ water for 3-5 minutes.

Benefits: Wild vetch combats electronic radiation. Rose tomatoes are powerful antioxidants that protect against electronic radiation. The polyphenols in green tea have strong antioxidant activity, which helps eliminate free radicals in the body, enhancing radiation resistance and boosting the immune system. Green tea also absorbs radioactive substances in the body and eliminates them through urine and feces, reducing or eliminating the harm caused by X-rays. Roses also promote digestion, relieve depression, improve blood circulation, and nourish the skin.

Herbal Tea 3: Ginseng Tea - Boosts Qi and Blood

Preparation: Drink one cup of ginseng tea daily, and take a break for three days after drinking for three consecutive days to allow the accumulated medicinal components to be metabolized.

Benefits: Ginseng is a traditional Chinese tonic. It has a mild and warm nature, with a sweet and slightly bitter taste. It can replenish vitality, tonify the spleen and lung, generate body fluids, quench thirst, calm the mind, and improve intelligence. It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, as it can regulate the body's functions and replenish Qi and blood. However, it is not suitable for people with excessive Yin fire and hot hands and feet. Women during menstruation and those with hypertension or prone to headaches should also avoid consuming ginseng tea.

Herbal Tea 4: Licorice Tea - Clears Heat and Detoxifies

Licorice can clear heat and detoxify, and resolve phlegm and cough. Many people prefer to replace their regular tea with licorice water, believing that it can clear heat and detoxify. However, licorice itself is a medicinal herb, and improper use may cause poisoning. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before consuming licorice tea, and it is not recommended for ordinary people to self-administer.

Herbal Tea 5: Goji Berry Tea - Relieves Eye Fatigue

Goji berry tea can relieve eye strain, dryness, and deepened vision. Goji berries, known as "bright eyes," are particularly effective in improving vision. Throughout history, goji berries have been used by medical practitioners to treat blurred vision and night blindness caused by liver blood deficiency and kidney Yin deficiency. Therefore, brewing goji berries in water is a great choice for eye dryness.
