What are the benefits of drinking?
Although jasmine can be used to treat diarrhea, abdominal pain, conjunctivitis, sores and other diseases. The oil content of flowers is 0.2 ~ 0.3%, and the main components are benzyl alcohol and its lipids, jasmine, linalool and linalool benzoate. The distilled liquid extracted from it is called jasmine dew, which can strengthen the spleen and regulate qi. Roots contain alkaloids, which have analgesic and anesthetic effects. Eye drops made of jasmine are effective for keratitis and leukonychia. Fumigating and washing with appropriate amount of jasmine can cure red eyes, swelling and pain, and tears in the wind; Take 2 cm of jasmine root, wash it, grind wine and take it orally, which can cure traumatic injury; Take a proper amount of jasmine root and drop kimchi into the ear to treat otitis media. Jasmine has beauty function. Steamed jasmine can take its liquid instead of rose dew, and steamed liquid can be used as facial fat, which can make hair moist and fragrant. However, after being mixed with tea to make scented tea, because theophylline of tea has certain antidote ability, jasmine tea has only the properties of tea but not the medicinal properties of flowers. Moreover, excellent jasmine tea has no flowers, and only "green tea (tea has a strong flavor absorption function)" can absorb enough jasmine aromatic substances. In addition, the raw material for making jasmine tea is green tea, and the tea with scented tea is said to be green tea. However, before smoking, green tea should be baked and dried at a higher temperature again (the water in completely dried tea leaves becomes abnormal water-losing tea to absorb the aromatic volatile oil of fresh jasmine, and of course, the water in flowers must also be absorbed, so that normal tea leaves will be damp and moldy if they are not completely dried), and the green tea has turned brown (this is no longer the characteristic of green tea), which leads to the destruction of vitamins in tea leaves by high temperature. So it is not surprising to hear friends who are proficient in tea theory and tea ceremony say that "scented tea is not green tea, but a kind of inferior green tea". Therefore, compared with the nature of green tea, jasmine tea is far from green tea ... but from the sense of smell to the sense of taste, the refreshing fragrance of jasmine tea can make people enjoy the fragrance from two aspects; Tasting jasmine tea in a specific environment often leads people to be tempted mentally, resulting in a quiet realm and reverie ... which is really beyond the reach of green tea. This is the unique benefit of drinking jasmine tea.
