Chrysanthemum is a common Chinese medicine that is often used to make tea to help clear away heat and detoxify and brighten the eyes and liver. However, there are still many questions about whether chrysanthemums actually have these effects. Next, let's take a look at this question.
First of all, we need to clarify what is heat clearing and detoxification. Clearing heat and detoxifying is a method in traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly used for the symptoms of hot poison and fiery evil spirit. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, heat poison refers to a kind of "poisonous gas" in the body, which is mainly produced by the stagnation of fiery evil qi or foreign evil qi in the body, which will cause a series of uncomfortable symptoms in the human body.
Brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver is a health care method in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which aims to promote liver health and prevent liver disease through diet or drug conditioning. The liver is an important detoxification organ in the human body and one of the main organs of vision. Brightening the eyes and liver protects liver health, while also helping to relieve eye fatigue and vision loss.
So, does chrysanthemum really have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver?
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, chrysanthemum has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, evacuating wind and heat, calming the liver and brightening the eyes, clearing heat and detoxifying. Therefore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, chrysanthemum does have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver.
Modern medical research has also confirmed some of the pharmacological effects of chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum contains a variety of volatile oils, flavonoids, triterpenoids and other components, which have antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other effects. In addition, chrysanthemum can also dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, and help protect cardiovascular health.
Therefore, from the perspective of modern medicine, chrysanthemum also has a certain effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver.
However, we should also note that the efficacy of chrysanthemums is not as miraculous as it is said in TCM theory. In fact, the pharmacological effects of chrysanthemum are limited and cannot be a complete substitute for medicine**. For some diseases, such as hepatitis, high blood pressure, etc., the effect of chrysanthemum is not very obvious.
In addition, the use of chrysanthemums also needs to pay attention to some issues. First of all, chrysanthemums are slightly cold and should not be drunk in large quantities for a long time, especially for people with weak constitution. Secondly, chrysanthemums contain some volatile oil components, if the tea is brewed for too long, it may cause the taste to deteriorate, and it will also affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Finally, we would like to emphasize that the efficacy of chrysanthemums is not absolute. For some people, there may be an allergy to chrysanthemums, or an intolerance to certain components in chrysanthemums. Before using chrysanthemum, it is best to consult a professional TCM practitioner or doctor to determine whether it is suitable for your constitution and condition.
To sum up, the chrysanthemum soaked in the cup does have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver, but it should be noted that its pharmacological effect is limited and cannot completely replace the drug**. Before using chrysanthemum, it is best to consult a professional TCM practitioner or doctor to determine whether it is suitable for your constitution and condition. At the same time, we should also remain rational, do not be overly superstitious about the efficacy of chrysanthemums, but choose a health regimen that suits us according to our actual situation.
