Four types of people should avoid drinking herbal tea to cool down.
2012-04-06
Summer heat easily leads to "internal heat," and many people enjoy drinking herbal teas to cool down. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine experts warn that consuming herbal tea daily can deplete the body's vital yang energy, particularly in vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Professor Zhang Mao, Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Chongqing Medical University Children’s Hospital, explains that herbal teas typically consist of ingredients like honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and kuding tea, which are known for their cooling and heat-clearing properties. Yet, it’s important not to drink these teas excessively or on a daily basis, as doing so may weaken the body’s yang energy, harm the spleen and stomach, and impair digestion and nutrient absorption.
Zhang Mao adds that children, seniors, women, and individuals with a weak, cold spleen and stomach should avoid drinking herbal teas altogether.
Why does drinking hot tea help cool you down in summer?
2012-04-06
When it’s hot, everyone loves to sip on a cold drink—personally, I’m more of a tea person. But does drinking hot tea really help cool you down in the heat?
Answer:
It’s true that many young people reach for cold drinks when it’s hot, but actually, what quenches thirst most effectively is often hot tea—especially delicate, high-quality varieties. In fact, people in ancient China long ago discovered the cooling power of hot tea, using it to naturally release internal body heat.
Typically, after sipping hot tea, your skin gradually starts to sweat—a process that helps dissipate excess heat from within. In other words, the warmth is slowly released over time. On the flip side, consuming icy cold beverages doesn’t allow heat to escape as easily; instead, the cold sensation merely provides temporary relief to your mouth and throat before the heat quickly returns.
