Hawthorn is a kind of fruit or snack that we often eat every day, but it is generally used in various prescriptions with other drugs in Chinese medicine. Similarly, jujube is a kind of fruit or snack that we often eat every day, and Chinese medicine also uses jujube in various prescriptions after processing. Then, can we soak hawthorn and jujube in water together in our daily life? If so, what are the effects of soaking hawthorn and red dates in water?

1, you can soak in water together.

When hawthorn and jujube are soaked in water together, it will not reduce the efficacy of hawthorn, nor will it reduce the efficacy of red, nor will it produce any substances harmful to human body, so hawthorn and jujube can be soaked in water together. In addition, hawthorn is mild and sour, and jujube is warm and sweet, so the taste of hawthorn and jujube is also changed, and it is more mild, and it will not be as sour as hawthorn soaking in water alone.

2, soaking water together.

Hawthorn has the functions of promoting digestion, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and lowering blood fat. Jujube has the function of nourishing yin and enriching blood, so what are the effects of soaking hawthorn and jujube in water?

(1) Strengthening the stomach and strengthening the spleen: Hawthorn has the function of promoting digestion and resolving food stagnation, and the sweetness of red dates has a certain easing effect on Hawthorn, and red dates have the function of nourishing yin, so the combination of them and strengthening the spleen has been enhanced;

(2) The function of promoting blood circulation is weakened: jujube has the function of enriching blood, and its taste is sweet and warm, so it weakens the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis of hawthorn;

(3) Hypolipidemic effect is also weakened: the effect of nourishing yin and enriching blood of red dates weakens the hypolipidemic effect of hawthorn, but the effect of nourishing yin is better when they are combined.

3, suitable for patients with spleen deficiency

Xiaobian said before that it is not suitable for patients with spleen deficiency to soak hawthorn in water alone, because hawthorn has a sweet taste, only the effect of digestion and digestion, but not the effect of nourishing yin. When hawthorn and jujube are mixed with soaking water, jujube is sweet and warm, which makes the medicine milder and enhances the function of nourishing yin, so hawthorn and jujube tea is suitable for patients with spleen deficiency.
