Rose tea is popular among women and is consumed daily by many. However, daily consumption of rose tea is not recommended. This is because roses, which have a warm nature, sweet taste, and slight bitterness, can help to regulate qi (energy) and alleviate depression, as well as harmonize blood and relieve pain.
Drinking rose-infused water daily can disrupt the body’s qi and blood circulation. Let’s delve into the knowledge about drinking rose tea.
Despite the many benefits of rose tea, such as improving qi and blood circulation, relieving depression, and easing menstrual pain, it has a warming effect. For those with a heat-prone constitution, daily consumption of rose tea can cause overheating and inflammation in the body. Drinking it 3-4 times a week suffices for the body’s needs.
Therefore, rose tea should not be consumed daily, especially not in the summer. For women, overconsumption of rose tea can cause too rapid a circulation of qi and blood in the body, which is detrimental to health. The most direct manifestation is excessive bleeding during menstruation, posing a risk to life.
Additionally, due to the strong blood-activating and stasis-dissipating effect of roses, those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid drinking it during their period.
If you wish to drink rose tea long-term, it is recommended to add a few jujubes to moderate its medicinal properties and reduce its toxic side effects. This is the principle behind the inclusion of jujubes in most traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.
Generally, 15 grams of rose tea per day is sufficient. Brew 15 grams of roses with water above 90 degrees Celsius, which can usually be brewed two to three times. Those with qi deficiency can add 3-5 jujubes or 9 grams of American ginseng; those with kidney deficiency can add 15 grams of goji berries.
When brewing rose tea, you can add rock sugar or honey according to personal taste to reduce the astringency of the roses and enhance the effect. It should be noted that roses should not be brewed with tea, as the large amount of tannic acid in tea can affect the liver-soothing and depression-relieving effects of roses.
1) Morning: Rose tea is rich in vitamins, and drinking it in the morning can fulfill the body’s needs. It also has a certain qi-regulating and depression-relieving effect, which can help maintain a good mood throughout the day.
2) One hour after meals: Rose tea contains malic acid, which has a certain digestive effect. Drinking it one hour after meals can promote digestion and absorption of food, preventing indigestion and other discomforts.
3) Afternoon: Rose tea contains volatile aromatic compounds like geraniol, nerol, and citronellol, which can stimulate the nerves, relieve fatigue, and reduce stress, thereby improving work efficiency. It is suitable for consumption in the weary afternoon.
1) On an empty stomach in the morning: Drinking rose tea on an empty stomach in the morning can irritate the gastric mucosa, possibly leading to stomach pain and other discomforts.
2) During heavy bleeding: Rose tea has a certain blood-activating effect. If you have heavy menstrual flow or are experiencing heavy bleeding post-surgery, it is not advisable to drink rose tea, as it may increase the amount of bleeding and cause bodily discomfort.
