Can cistanche deserticola and tea soak in water together?

1. Cistanche deserticola can soak in water with tea, but not all tea can, so it is impossible to generalize. Generally, it is not recommended to soak Cistanche deserticola with tea for clearing heat and purging fire, but Cistanche deserticola can be soaked with tonic or warm tea.

2. Cistanche deserticola is warm in nature, which has the functions of tonifying kidney-yang, nourishing essence and blood, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, and belongs to the yang-tonifying medicine in the traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying deficiency. If it can be brewed with tonic tea or warm tea with the same nature as Cistanche deserticola, such as black tea, Pu 'er tea, Dangshen tea, Astragalus tea, Ophiopogon japonicus tea, Rehmannia glutinosa tea, Polygonatum sibiricum tea, Angelica tea, etc., the tonic effect can be increased. However, tea leaves with the function of clearing away heat and purging fire, such as green tea, mulberry leaf tea, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, lophatherum leaf tea and mint tea, are contrary to the medicinal properties of Cistanche deserticola, which may weaken the curative effect of Cistanche deserticola, so it is not recommended to brew them together.

3. Cistanche deserticola should be used according to the doctor's advice. This product is warm, and should not be taken by those with hyperactivity of yang heat, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, and excessive damp heat. Pregnant women, lactating women, children and people with allergies should take it with caution. Normal people should not take a lot of meat rongrong for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause excessive internal heat.
