1. Do not overdose
A moderate amount of honeysuckle can clear heat and detoxify, but an overdose can cause damage to the body. The cold nature of honeysuckle can directly damage the stomach and intestines. Long-term excessive consumption can cause problems in the stomach and intestines. Therefore, it is important not to drink too much honeysuckle water in one go or consume large amounts of it for a long period of time.
2. Avoid during menstruation
Women should pay attention that they should not drink honeysuckle water before or during menstruation. Honeysuckle water is too cold and can stimulate the blood vessels, leading to discomfort during menstruation. It can even cause blood vessel disharmony for a period of time afterwards. Women with dysmenorrhea should especially avoid drinking honeysuckle water and consuming cold food.
3. Do not keep overnight
Honeysuckle can be brewed two or three times at most. Do not drink overnight honeysuckle water, as the tea may spoil and cause harm to the body.
