Who is suitable to consume Suiguzi?
1. Suiguzi is suitable for people who sweat a lot in summer:
Nowadays, people have a relatively rich material life, so the nutrients they intake may be excessive. Combined with the lack of long-term exercise due to work, the body may have excessive moisture. Sweating a lot in summer is a common condition. Suiguzi can be used to improve excessive sweating. It has diuretic and lung-moistening effects, which can help the body eliminate excess water through urination.
2. Suiguzi is suitable for people with excessive internal heat:
Nowadays, people live under a lot of pressure and are busy with their daily lives. Over time, they may develop internal heat. Although internal heat is not a disease, it is an uncomfortable feeling. People with internal heat tend to be irritable and it can even affect their work and daily life. Suiguzi has the effect of clearing heat, so it can be used when experiencing internal heat.
