The benefits of brewing tea：
1.Digestive Aid: Hawthorn is widely used to improve digestive function, especially for issues like indigestion, stomach discomfort, and loss of appetite. It stimulates gastric acid secretion, promoting digestion and absorption of food. The lipase in dried hawthorn can help digest fatty foods, promoting digestive fluid secretion and aiding in appetite stimulation. Moderate consumption can help alleviate problems such as indigestion and poor appetite.
2.Cardiovascular Health: Flavonoids in hawthorn help dilate blood vessels, improve vascular function, increase blood flow, effectively reducing blood pressure and cholesterol. This enhances the body's resistance and prevents cardiovascular diseases. Hawthorn also enhances cardiac contractility and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, improving heart function and reducing cardiac burden.
3.Blood Circulation and Stasis Relief: Drinking dried hawthorn steeped in water has a blood-circulating and stasis-relieving effect, making it suitable for patients with blood-stagnation-type dysmenorrhea. Women often experience menstrual pain, and drinking dried hawthorn infusion can help alleviate menstrual discomfort.
4.Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Regulation: The flavonoids in dried hawthorn can dilate blood vessels, improve vascular function, and increase blood flow, leading to decreased blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Drinking dried hawthorn infusion can help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels, contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
5.Beauty and Skin Care: Dried hawthorn is rich in flavonoids, vitamin C, and carotenoids, which reduce the generation of free radicals, exerting antioxidative effects. Drinking dried hawthorn infusion in moderation can contribute to beauty and skin care.
