Chinese herbal medicine is the main raw material of tea. Does tea contain preservatives? Its main edible functions are to cure diseases, strengthen the body and prevent diseases, prevent internal diseases, prevent gynecological diseases, and preserve health and prolong life.
Suitable for pregnant women, careful use of storage method, cold and plain eating method, decocting method.
Chinese medicine instead of tea is a special Chinese medicine preparation for treating diseases and strengthening the body, which plays an important role in medical care. It has the following advantages:
1. Easy to drink and take and easy to adjust.
Traditional Chinese medicine tea substitute can be treated dialectically according to the needs of the disease, and the appropriate use method can be selected according to the symptoms and the performance characteristics of the drug. Simple procedure, convenient preparation and strong pertinence. It not only keeps the characteristics of flexible addition and subtraction of traditional Chinese medicine decoction, but also overcomes the shortcomings of traditional decoction, such as cumbersome boiling and inconvenient carrying, and adapts to the development trend of accelerated pace of modern life.
Traditional Chinese medicine tea substitute is easy to store and carry, can be drunk many times at any time, and is completely absorbed, so it can be used in special occasions or some emergencies, with good adjuvant treatment effect.
Second, the drug effect is sufficient and the curative effect is remarkable.
Crushing Chinese medicinal materials into coarse powder or cutting them into filaments and small segments increases the surface area and contact area with solvents, so that the effective components of the drugs can be easily dissolved after decoction. The experiment shows that the concentration of these drugs in the crushed liquid medicine is much higher than that in the extract of the non-crushed medicinal materials.
Traditional Chinese medicine is brewed with boiling water or slightly decocted, which avoids the loss of effective components of some drugs, especially aromatic drugs, caused by long-term processing and decocting; On the other hand, brewing drugs with boiling water can quickly degrade and inactivate enzymes and avoid the decomposition and destruction of effective components. The experiments show that: firstly, most exterior-relieving drugs contain volatile oil, which can be volatilized at room temperature, more easily volatilized with water vapor and should not be decocted for a long time. Secondly, when the temperature of the liquid medicine is 30-40℃, the enzyme activity contained in the medicine is very strong, and the effective components of the medicine, especially glycosides, are easily decomposed under the action of enzymes, which will lead to the reduction of effective components and affect the curative effect.
Medicinal tea is especially suitable for colloidal drugs such as colla corii asini, colla cornus Cervi, maltose, and aromatic drugs such as mint, Herba Agastaches, Herba Elsholtzia, Artemisia annua and Flos Lonicerae, and contains a large amount of volatile oil. Colloidal drugs are easy to stick to the pot in decoction and attach to other drugs, which affects the dissolution of drug components. When used as medicinal tea, it can avoid losing its effective components due to long-term decoction, so as to give full play to the role of medicine and improve the curative effect.
3. Light and delicate, sweet and peaceful
In terms of drug composition, the prescription of tea substitute pays attention to syndrome differentiation and strict compatibility, and its outstanding characteristics are accurate selection of drugs and light dosage. Compared with decoction, tea substitute can save the source of medicine. For example, the "stiff silkworm ginger tea" contained in Compendium of Materia Medica has the function of expelling wind and relieving pain, and is good at managing the head wind. There are only two flavors in the prescription, Bombyx Batryticatus and Alpinia officinarum, which are equally divided at the end, and each dose is one yuan, that is, 3 grams. The usual dosage of decoction is 20g. Using tea leaves can save 17 grams of medicine every day. It can be seen that the amount of medicinal materials saved by replacing tea with traditional Chinese medicine is considerable.
Judging from the nature of the medicine, the medicine used in place of tea is mild in nature, not afraid of hurting the stomach, sweet and light in taste, or slightly bitter and cold, which not only has the function of dispelling diseases and conditioning, but also has the disadvantage of tasteless and bitter taste, and is especially suitable for children to take.
As far as medicinal functions are concerned, most of the traditional Chinese medicines used in tea substitutes have the functions of relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat, relieving cough, removing dampness, regulating stomach, promoting digestion, relaxing bowels, removing summer heat, calming nerves and nourishing. He is good at treating exogenous wind-cold, exogenous wind-heat, phlegm-dampness invading the lungs, damp-heat accumulation, dyspepsia, intestinal dryness and exhaustion, summer heat injury and body fluid injury, restlessness and deficiency of both qi and blood. Use less emetic and laxatives, and generally do not use highly toxic drugs to eliminate evil spirits.
4. Take it for a long time and adjust it slowly.
Replacing tea with traditional Chinese medicine is light in dosage, suitable for frequent use, mild in nature, and does not harm stomach qi. It can be used for a long time to slow down its effect and harmonize viscera, especially suitable for the treatment of chronic diseases and the regulation of body functions.
For many diseases, taking herbal tea for a long time can make the effective components of the medicine reach the quantitative standard in the body, and make the curative effect more stable and lasting. For example, patients with urinary calculi can maintain the concentration of drugs in the urinary tract after taking herbal tea for many times; At the same time, it can dilute urine, clean urinary tract, increase the scouring force of urinary calculi, and be beneficial to the reduction and discharge of calculi.
5. Treat diseases and recuperate without diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine can be used instead of tea, which is mild in nature, can reconcile zang-fu organs and yin-yang, and can increase and decrease qi and blood. If taken frequently, it can not only cure diseases, but also regulate them. In particular, it is of great benefit to the conditioning and physical recovery after illness.
In a word, replacing tea with traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of convenience, flexibility, effectiveness, economy, strong pertinence and wide adaptability. It not only retains the remarkable efficacy of decoction, but also overcomes the shortcomings of complicated decoction and waste of medicinal materials. Suitable for long-term use, more powerful than Chinese patent medicine.

Internal injuries are divided into exogenous and internal injuries. Exogenous diseases mainly refer to febrile diseases such as typhoid fever, wind temperature, summer temperature and wet temperature. According to the syndrome differentiation and classification of viscera, internal injuries can be divided into lung, heart, spleen and stomach, liver and gallbladder, kidney and other diseases. Most of them can be treated by replacing tea. Ancient and modern medical books contain countless tea prescriptions for preventing and treating internal diseases.
2. Prevention and treatment of surgical diseases
There are many surgical diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, including sores, skin diseases, anorectal diseases, tumor diseases and so on. Using traditional Chinese medicine instead of tea to prevent and treat surgical diseases can obtain good curative effect. For example, cancer is usually treated by surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If we can cooperate with appropriate herbal tea therapy, we can reduce the side effects of the above therapy and improve the curative effect.
3. Prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases
For the prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases, there are quite a few tea prescriptions in folk collections. For example, boiling cogongrass rhizome strong tea and adding brown sugar instead of tea can cure menarche and menorrhagia; Taiping Shenghui Prescription "Drinking tea with glutinous rice and astragalus root" is composed of glutinous rice, astragalus root and Ligusticum chuanxiong, which has the functions of regulating qi and blood and preventing miscarriage. Lactating mothers often choose raw and cooked malt soup instead of tea in clinic.
4. Prevention and treatment of pediatric diseases
Because it is often difficult for children to take medicine, Chinese medicine instead of tea is not very bitter and easy to be accepted by children, so the advantage of using tea instead of tea to prevent and treat common diseases in children is particularly prominent.
5. Prevention and treatment of otorhinolaryngology diseases
The method of replacing tea with tea is effective in preventing and treating common otorhinolaryngology diseases. If the eyesight drops, the twelve teas of Hanhai's life contain Lycium barbarum, chrysanthemum, frosted mulberry leaves, and refined cereal instead of tea, which can treat the eyesight drop caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney. The medicinal materials in the prescription are all for improving eyesight, nourishing liver and kidney, and are combined into tea, which is convenient for long-term administration.
Two. Postillness conditioning
Tea substitute is relatively peaceful, and the ups and downs of viscera, yin and yang, qi and blood tend to be normal through reconciliation, which is quite suitable for the recuperation of diseases.
1.
In order to get rid of evil spirits, tea can be used instead of tea with mild medicinal properties, which can not only get rid of evil spirits, but also strengthen the body resistance, thus slowing down its function, harmonizing viscera and achieving the purpose of curing diseases.
2. Regulate stomach qi
In the later stage of the disease, the therapeutic tea prescription was used for conditioning, which was widely used in the courts of the Qing Dynasty. Looking through the medical records of Qing dynasty, after the disease is cured, we often pay attention to regulating stomach qi, drinking and taking frequently, and replacing tea with stomach as a recuperation, in order to make full use of it. This is the purpose of traditional Chinese medicine.
Replenish vitality
When people reach old age, kidney qi gradually declines, and it hurts their vitality even more after illness. Therefore, at the beginning of recovery, it is necessary for the elderly to choose medicinal tea with the function of invigorating vitality, and slowly recuperate it to help restore vitality.
3. Health care and longevity
Replacing tea with traditional Chinese medicine has mild effect, lasting curative effect and convenient long-term use, which is one of many health care and anti-aging methods in traditional Chinese medicine. Drinking health medicinal tea often at ordinary times, nourishing the five internal organs and harmonizing qi and blood is of great benefit to delaying aging, fitness and longevity.
There are many ways to replace tea with traditional Chinese medicine, among which decocting is the most commonly used.
Most herbal teas can't be brewed with tea sets because of their many medicinal flavors and large dosage, so decocting method should be used. Some tea prescriptions contain drugs with hard texture and hard dissolution of active ingredients, or drugs with strong and nourishing taste, and decocting method is also better. The traditional decoction method is to put all kinds of traditional Chinese medicines into a tea set, add water, boil for about 10- 15 minutes, then leave the fire, take the juice, decoct for 2-3 times, then combine the liquid medicines, filter and drink frequently without replacing tea.
With the advancement of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, new equipment for diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has been continuously developed and applied. Among them, Herbal Spring developed a new type of decocting apparatus, Chinese medicine decocting pot and Chinese medicine tea box with modern technology, which innovated the decocting method and packaging technology of Chinese medicine instead of tea. Based on the principle of traditional Chinese medicine decoction, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot adopts a new decoction technology, and the effective components of the prescription can be boiled out in 2-5 minutes, which is simple to operate and can be drunk after boiling; High extraction rate and saving medicinal materials; The special structure makes it not burn, stick to the pot and precipitate when boiling Chinese herbal medicine.
