Tea Knowledge: If you have a stomach problem, drink more of these three teas!

Gastrointestinal discomfort is a common problem for modern people. Drinking tea appropriately can not only relieve discomfort but also regulate the stomach.

Introducing three teas that are particularly suitable for those with stomach problems. Let's learn about their benefits and how to drink them.

1. Pu'er Tea: A Strong and Powerful Tea.

Pu'er tea undergoes a post-fermentation process, rich in probiotics and polyphenols, which promote digestion and improve intestinal flora balance.

Ripe Pu'er tea is mild and warms the stomach without damaging it, making it particularly suitable for those with spleen and stomach deficiency.

It also has the ability to break down fats, making it particularly helpful for indigestion caused by excessive eating.

It is recommended to drink it half an hour after a meal, with water temperature between 80-90 degrees Celsius. It can be brewed 3-4 times.

2. Gentle and stomach-nourishing Tangerine Peel Tea.

Tangerine peel is a commonly used herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine for regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, clearing dampness and resolving phlegm.

Drinking tangerine peel with Pu'er tea not only promotes gastric secretion and aids digestion, but also relieves gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating and belching.

The preparation method is simple: combine an appropriate amount of tangerine peel with Pu'er tea leaves, brew with boiling water, and let sit for 3-5 minutes before drinking.

It is recommended to drink in small amounts on an empty stomach, preferably after a meal.

3. Gentle stomach-protecting licorice tea.

Licorice, known as the "national elder," is a harmonizing agent in Traditional Chinese Medicine, known for its ability to harmonize the spleen and stomach and relieve stomach pain.

Licorice tea is mild in nature, protecting the gastric mucosa and relieving discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid. It is also effective for stomach discomfort caused by frequent skipping meals, smoking, and alcohol.

To make licorice tea, place licorice slices in a cup, add boiling water, and let steep for 5-10 minutes. It's important to note that licorice tea should not be consumed excessively; 1-2 times daily is recommended.

While these teas have stomach-nourishing and protective properties, there are three important considerations when drinking them:

1. The tea temperature should not be too high to avoid irritating the stomach and intestines;
2. Drink less or not at all on an empty stomach to avoid overloading the stomach;
3. Avoid excessive consumption of any tea; use it in moderation based on your individual needs.
