Introduction
Meicha (vine tea) has excellent protective effects on the gastrointestinal tract and can also promote digestion and absorption. People with poor stomach health may benefit from drinking an appropriate amount of meicha, which can aid in recovery, but they should avoid excessive consumption to prevent increasing the burden on the digestive system. In addition, meicha has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and can be very effective in treating conditions such as swollen and painful gums and acute pharyngitis.
Generally, mei tea is beneficial for the stomach and intestines and can promote digestion and absorption. People with poor stomach health may benefit from drinking an appropriate amount of mei tea, as it can aid in recovery, but excessive consumption should be avoided to prevent increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal system.
Mei tea is a health-focused tea made from the stems and leaves of grapevines. It has保健 properties, and its components—particularly flavonoids—can enhance immune function. Drinking a moderate amount of mei tea helps protect the gastrointestinal tract, aids digestion, inhibits gastric acid secretion (thus relieving stomach discomfort), regulates intestinal function, promotes intestinal motility, and facilitates the rapid elimination of excess toxins from the gut, thereby helping to relieve constipation.
Individuals with weak stomachs often have compromised intestinal function. When consuming mei tea, they should avoid brewing it too strongly, as this may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and lead to abdominal pain or bloating. If gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, medications such as acid-suppressing agents and gastric mucosal protectants—including omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and aluminum magnesium carbonate tablets—may be used under medical supervision.
In addition, mei tea also possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, offering effective relief for conditions such as swollen gums and acute pharyngitis. It can also neutralize free radicals, protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and help prevent atherosclerosis.
