In summer, the weather is hot and the body consumes a lot of qi and blood, so it is necessary to relieve heat and replenish qi. Many friends believe that drinking some cold drinks can quench thirst, but it should be noted that drinking too much cold can easily harm the body and consume qi. The opening and excessive sweating of a person's meridians can lead to the detachment of qi along with the body... The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Su Wen, states that "when the righteous qi is stored inside, evil cannot be dried, and when evil gathers, its qi will become weak." This means that people with sufficient qi are more likely to resist the invasion of various pathogens, while those with insufficient qi will exhibit various symptoms. So the tea drink we're sharing today can help you cool down and replenish qi in the summer.
