Taboo of drinking tea

People with colds: Winter is the high season for colds. People suffering from cold and wind should eat more warm food, such as ginger, to drive away the cold in the body. If you drink Kuding tea at this time, it will hinder the divergence of wind and cold, which is not conducive to the cure of colds.

People with deficiency and cold constitution: The most prominent feature of people with deficiency and cold constitution is that they are particularly afraid of cold in winter and often feel cold hands and feet. People with this constitution like to eat warm food such as mutton and dog meat, and it is not easy to get angry. However, after drinking cool Kuding tea, the symptoms of cold hands and feet will be aggravated, which is not conducive to the improvement of deficiency-cold constitution, and even serious symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea will appear.

Chronic gastroenteritis patients: chronic gastroenteritis patients often have different degrees of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Abdominal cold or eating cold food makes it easy to have a stomachache or diarrhea. Kuding tea will aggravate these symptoms. In addition, the spleen and stomach function of the elderly is relatively weakened, and the spleen and stomach function of infants is not perfect. Kuding tea is also not suitable for drinking, otherwise it will easily cause side effects such as indigestion, anorexia and diarrhea.

Menstrual women: women are in a state of blood loss during menstruation, and their resistance decreases. At this time, if they drink cold kudingcha, it will easily lead to blood stasis and menstrual stagnation, causing dysmenorrhea, and in severe cases, irregular menstruation. Women who often have dysmenorrhea, even if they are not menstruating, had better drink less kudingcha.

New parturient: The parturient who just gave birth to a baby is weak, so she should eat more warm food. Cold Kuding tea is not only not conducive to the recovery of postpartum uterus, but also hurts the spleen and stomach, which easily leads to chills and abdominal pain.
