Roses are one of the favorite flowers for many girls and also symbolize love. Did you know that roses can also be brewed into tea? Many beauty lovers may not be aware of this because roses are usually meant for appreciation. So, what are the benefits of rose tea? Let's take a look!
Benefits of Rose Tea
1. Beauty and Skin Care
Regular consumption of rose tea can help with beauty and skin care, keeping you youthful. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the complexion is closely related to the body's qi and blood. Rose tea has the effects of promoting qi circulation, invigorating blood circulation, and harmonizing organs. Regular consumption can gradually improve a dull complexion and also have a significant effect on facial blemishes.
Therefore, during menstruation, people with dull complexion or troubled by blemishes can take 15 grams of roses daily. For those with qi deficiency, add 3-5 jujubes or 9 grams of American ginseng. For those with kidney deficiency, add 15 grams of goji berries. Do not throw away the used rose petals. Crush them into a paste and apply it to the face before sleep. Rinse off with warm water when dry. Long-term persistence can moisturize the skin, promote blood circulation, eliminate blemishes, and improve complexion.
2. Alleviating Depression
According to traditional Chinese medicine, roses have a gentle nature and can regulate qi, invigorate blood circulation, soothe the liver, and relieve depression. Women often experience emotional irritability before or during menstruation, and drinking rose tea can help regulate emotions. In today's increasingly stressful work and life, even outside of menstruation, drinking rose tea can help soothe and stabilize emotions.
3. Regulating Menstruation and Relieving Pain
Rose tea has the effects of promoting blood circulation, dispelling stasis, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain. For those with severe dysmenorrhea, in addition to drinking rose tea, you can also take 200 grams of fresh roses, decoct them into a concentrated paste, spread it on four layers of gauze, and apply it to the navel while warm. Fix it with adhesive tape and change it once a day. Due to the blood circulation-promoting effect of roses, it is not suitable for those with excessive menstrual flow to drink rose tea during menstruation.
4. Balancing Hormones
Put 3-5 rose petals in a cup and brew with hot water. Drink it daily, and within about two weeks, there will be a noticeable improvement in hormonal imbalance. Within 1-3 months, hormone levels can return to normal.
This is commonly used by white-collar workers and beauty enthusiasts in the city. They are enthusiastic about roses, and roses bring them health and beauty. Rose tea is also very suitable for women who are overweight due to hormonal imbalance, as it can regulate qi and blood.
5. Promoting Blood Circulation
Drinking rose tea can activate stagnant blood circulation, reduce cardiac congestion, and strengthen capillaries. When feeling low, it can balance and strengthen the stomach. With antibacterial and mild laxative effects, it can purify the digestive tract and improve symptoms of indigestion, vomiting, and constipation.
Precautions for Rose Tea
1. Do not brew with tea leaves
When brewing rose tea, you can add other seasonings according to personal taste, such as honey and rock sugar, which are great choices. However, roses should never be brewed with tea leaves. This is mainly because tea leaves contain a large amount of tannic acid, which can affect the medicinal effects of roses. Especially the effects of soothing the liver and relieving depression will be significantly weakened.
