In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors believe that the sour and sweet taste of hawthorn is very heavy, and its efficacy is relatively mild, which can mainly help people to play the role of "invigorating the stomach, promoting digestion, promoting qi circulation and removing blood stasis". In addition, modern medical research has found that hawthorn is also effective in helping people reduce body fat. It can be seen that soaking hawthorn in water is still very worth trying.
1, hawthorn slices soaked in water can help people digest food.
When I was a child, I ate too much uncomfortable time, and my family often used some hawthorn to help us digest. Some naughty children will also take the opportunity to buy a bunch of candied haws to satisfy their cravings, which are delicious and can help digestion and accumulation.
The digestion effect of hawthorn is very obvious, and whether it is men, women and children, no matter what kind of food causes food accumulation, hawthorn slices can be used to make tea to relieve it. For example, food accumulation caused by children eating more snacks at ordinary times, or food accumulation caused by drinking and eating meat in our work and life, can all be soaked in water, and the effect is quite good.
2. Hawthorn slices soaked in water can help people to promote qi and dissipate blood stasis.
The symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis can also be drunk with it, because the efficacy of hawthorn is relatively warm, which can promote the transportation and rotation of qi and blood. If there is pain due to qi stagnation and blood stasis in daily life, you can also use hawthorn slices to soak in water.
For example, chest pain caused by qi stagnation, abdominal pain caused by blood stasis, menstrual pain and other symptoms, you can use hawthorn tablets to soak in water, and we are using it? You can also add some brown sugar to the hawthorn slices when they are soaked in water, so the effect of removing blood stasis and relieving pain is more obvious.
3. Hawthorn slices soaked in water can help people turn turbid and reduce blood fat.
According to modern medical research, hawthorn contains fatty acids, maslinic acid, hawthorn flavonoids and other ingredients that can stimulate the production of corresponding digestive enzymes, thus promoting the decomposition of fat in our body.
Therefore, for some elderly people, or some people who are overweight, you can drink a cup of hawthorn tea properly in your life, which can not only reduce the body fat, but also prevent some middle-aged and elderly diseases.
Of course, although hawthorn is delicious, its sour taste is really too thick, so if we are uncomfortable and allergic to hawthorn, or if we have stomach acid and stomachache after drinking hawthorn water, it is not appropriate to drink hawthorn slices in water.
