Introduction
The nature of Changshou vine tea is relatively cooling; excessive consumption may irritate the intestines and cause abdominal discomfort. Moreover, theophylline contained in it may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to excitement that makes it difficult to fall asleep and affects sleep quality. Due to its multiple medicinal components, and considering that children are in a critical period of growth and development, taking this tea might adversely affect their development.

The common side effects of drinking Changshou vine tea generally include abdominal discomfort, sleep disturbances, and impaired development.

1. Abdominal discomfort

Changshou vine tea is relatively cooling in nature. Excessive consumption may irritate the intestines, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating.

2. Sleep disturbances

Drinking large amounts of Changshou vine tea at night may cause the caffeine content to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in difficulty falling asleep and disrupted sleep.

3. Impaired development

Since Changshou vine tea contains various medicinal components, and children are in a critical stage of growth and development, its consumption may negatively affect their physical development.

In addition, long-term consumption may potentially lead to gout. If any of the above symptoms occur during use, it is recommended to reduce or discontinue intake immediately.
