【女生必看】你有飲黑糖薑茶同四物湯嗎？
調經聖物人人啱飲？
相信香港女生對黑糖薑茶及四物湯都不會陌生，因為坊間相關產品林林總總，標榜可以調經補血，因此不少女生當作是日常養生恩物，經常飲用，然而真的人人適合嗎？
黑糖具健脾暖胃、散寒活血的功效，而生薑則有暖胃止嘔、發汗散寒作用，適合氣血虛弱及陽虛體質的人，可改善「虛寒型」痛經症狀。但由於食材屬性偏熱，如身體有上火症狀，如出口瘡、喉嚨痛甚至出現便秘症狀等，就不宜飲用。
四物湯是常用經典藥方，使用熟地黃、白芍、當歸及川芎這四種藥材，具有補血、行血、活血的功效，幫助改善因血虛引起的貧血、心悸頭暈、手腳麻痹、臉色發白以及痛經等症狀，適合氣血虛弱體質人士飲用，而且無分男女。身體有偏熱症狀例如喉嚨痛、口瘡、暗瘡、便秘情況，則不宜服用。
體質虛寒、氣滯血瘀、氣血虛弱都會引致月經不適，而四物湯是以藥材調配而成，建議先諮詢醫師意見才自行服藥。
