1、 Boiled water+longan: Nourishing the mind and calming the mind, getting a good sleep
Zhang Xichun, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said in his book "The Records of the West in the Heart of Medicine": "Longan has a sweet taste, a fragrant aroma, and a calm nature. Its liquid is thick and moist, and it is a medicine for the heart and spleen. It can nourish the heart and blood, maintain the heart and qi, nourish the spleen and blood, and strengthen the spleen and stomach."
Nowadays, people spend a lot of time watching their phones and computers, dealing with a lot of information, engaging in mental labor, and consuming a lot of energy and blood. They feel tired every day and just want to stay quietly for a while. At this time, it is very necessary to use longans to nourish the heart and spleen.
Longan is also good for the spleen and stomach. It nourishes the spleen and stomach, promotes digestion and absorption of food, and generates more and more qi and blood.

2、 Boiled water+roses: Soothing liver and regulating qi, feeling better
I believe everyone is familiar with roses, which can be said to be the most suitable flower for women.
Today, I will mainly share with you a place to avoid pitfalls when buying roses: when soaking roses in water, you should choose flower buds, which are about to bloom but have not yet bloomed, and not fully open ones.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that roses can soothe the liver and relieve depression, disperse stagnant qi and blood in the body, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain. The best effect is the flower bud, which uses the power of the flower when it is about to bloom to open up the stagnant qi and blood in the body.
"Materia Medica Justice": "Roses have the strongest aroma, clear but not turbid, gentle but not fierce, soothing the liver and awakening the stomach, flowing qi and promoting blood circulation, promoting circulation and stagnation without the drawbacks of bitterness, warmth, hardness, and dryness. Among the medicines that promote the separation of qi, they are the most effective and docile, and their fragrances are unparalleled."
Roses relieve liver depression and promote smooth and regular circulation of qi and blood. Having a smooth flow of qi and blood makes it less likely to cause swelling and pain in certain areas, irregular menstruation, and a smooth flow of liver qi, resulting in a better mood.
Boiled water and roses are especially suitable for friends with high life pressure, always feeling depressed, chest and epigastric pain, menstrual disorders, and breast hyperplasia.
Usually, people can also soak roses, orange peel, hawthorn, chrysanthemum, and goji berries in water in a 1:1 ratio to drink

Chrysanthemum+goji berries clear liver and fire, brighten the eyes, nourish liver and blood, relieve irritability, and make the eyes and liver more comfortable. Spring drinking is the most suitable.
3、 Boiled water+dried tangerine peel: regulating qi and resolving phlegm, making the body easier
The Compendium of Materia Medica states that Chenpi (dried tangerine peel) is used to treat nausea, vomiting, nausea, and noise in the stomach, as well as occasional vomiting of water, phlegm and diarrhea, coughing and malaria, obstructed stools, and breast abscess in women. It is used to feed and detoxify fish, and its ability to regulate qi and dry dampness is essential for treating various diseases

4、 Boiled water+hawthorn: reduces digestion and accumulation, lowers blood lipids
In today's diet, meat and fats, which are delicious but difficult to digest, account for a larger proportion. Coupled with less exercise, the burden on the spleen and stomach is also high, making it easy to accumulate phlegm, dampness, oil, dirt, and garbage in the body, hindering the production and operation of one's own qi and blood.
It is easy to become overweight and greasy, but with insufficient qi and blood, and heavy dampness, making one feel very tired when moving. The best way to supplement at this time is to first clear the gastrointestinal tract, clean up garbage, and drink hawthorn soaked in water.
"The Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Transforming diet, eliminating meat accumulation, treating symptoms such as abdominal distension, phlegm and phlegm, bloating, and pain."
The Compendium of Materia Medica: "Hawthorn has a neutral taste and helps to eliminate the accumulation of oil stains."
Hawthorn can help the body digest meat and fats, reduce gastrointestinal burden, and eliminate oil stains and garbage. Not only the gastrointestinal tract, but also the dampness and turbidity in the blood vessels (high blood lipids) can be cleared by hawthorn.
Hawthorn promotes blood circulation and dispels blood stasis, and also helps to separate qi. It can help relieve qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity, and blood stasis. Therefore, it is also suitable for those with qi stagnation, phlegm dampness, and blood stasis. People who are often in a bad mood can eat it to soothe the liver.

Warming the body with temperature is also the source of energy for the body. Adequate qi is necessary to maintain metabolism, dispel dampness and slim down, and resist virus invasion.
Many people like to use ginseng to replenish qi, but ginseng has a strong strength and is particularly prone to getting hot. Moreover, many people nowadays have to stay up late passively, and their physical condition is mostly Qi and Yin deficiency, not simply Qi deficiency. It is better to use ginseng than to use Western ginseng.
