Can dried queen's flower be steeped directly in water for drinking?

In general, dried Queen's flower (Baihehua) can be steeped directly in water and consumed, but it should be taken in moderation. The details are as follows:

Dried Queen's flower is a traditional Chinese herb with a sweet taste and slightly cold nature. It has various therapeutic effects, including clearing heat and phlegm, eliminating internal accumulation of heat, regulating phlegm-fire, and moistening and cleansing the lungs. It is effective in treating conditions such as coughing, production of thick yellow phlegm, and constipation. Drinking an appropriate amount of infused dried Queen's flower not only helps enhance immune function and disease resistance, accelerate metabolism, and promote toxin elimination, but also effectively prevents skin problems such as dullness, acne, and premature aging caused by toxin buildup.

However, it is important to note that consuming excessive amounts of dried Queen's flower tea at once may lead to discomforts such as abdominal pain and diarrhea; therefore, intake should be controlled. In daily life, dried Queen's flower can also be used in soups, cold dishes, or stir-fries. Additionally, it is advisable to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables—such as spinach, apples, and grapes—to supplement essential vitamins and improve overall health.
