  People often say that drinking tea is good for your health and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease because of the beneficial effects of tea polyphenols on the body. But is there scientific evidence to support this claim? Tian Ying, Chief Physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Beijing's Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, will provide insight on this topic.

Falling between July 22nd-24th on the Gregorian calendar, it is characterized by extreme heat and humidity, with temperatures reaching their peak. Compared to Xiǎoshǔ, Dàshǔ is even hotter and brings the most intense sunlight of the year, with high humidity levels. During this period, people need to take measures to maintain their health. Drinking fúchá, a type of tea, is a great option. Fúchá is a type of herbal tea made from over ten types of herbs, including honeysuckle, selfheal, and licorice, with a cooling effect. In ancient times, in many rural areas, there was a custom of putting tea water in a pavilion at the village entrance, providing free tea to passersby.

Traditional Chinese medicine talks about tea, have you been drinking it correctly?

For example, the Chuanxiong tea blend is recorded in the "Essentials of  Materia Medica ": "Tea leaves have a bitter and sweet taste.

When combined with chamomile, it can treat headaches; when combined with ginger, it can relieve water retention and stimulate the bladder and kidney meridians when consumed after drinking alcohol." However, tea is ultimately cold in nature, and since my  body constitution  is weak and cold in the spleen and stomach, I remember drinking Pu-erh tea once and having to go to the bathroom halfway through, so I rarely drink tea. But one ...
