清熱前要分清楚。
有些人一覺得有熱氣、喉嚨痛就飲廿四味下火,其實廿四味是由多種苦寒藥材調配而成。謹記濕熱體質人士或體內有實熱症狀才適合飲用,平時無恙則不宜。都市人大多睡眠不足,易生虛火,這種「火」要靠滋陰才能解決,如再飲涼茶,只會愈飲愈虛,更會出現頭暈、乏力、手腳怕冷甚至腹瀉的症狀,所以不要亂飲涼茶。
Have a 24 flavour herbal tea to clear heat?
Some people decide to have some 24 flavour tea as soon as they feel any heat symptoms or have a sore throat. 24 flavour tea is made up of many different kinds of bitter cold medicinal herbs, and it is important to note only those with damp heat body type or those with sthenic heat symptoms are suitable to have it. It is really not suitable for those who are in good health. Urbanites tend to be sleep deprived and may easily have asthenic heat symptoms that require nourishing the yin to resolve. Drinking more herbal tea may further worsen the asthenic symptoms and further lead to dizziness, fatique, cold limbs and even diarrhea. It is important not to drink herbal teas casually.
