Can jasmine flowers be steeped directly in water for drinking?

Jasmine flowers can generally be steeped directly in water and consumed, but intake should be moderated. Specific details are as follows:

Jasmine flowers are relatively nutritious, containing carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and other components. They can typically be steeped directly in water, helping to relieve thirst and improve bad breath. Moderate consumption may also help soothe the nervous system, reduce tension, and support emotional stability.

It is important to control the amount consumed and avoid drinking too much at once, as this could increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and lead to discomfort such as bloating or abdominal pain, potentially causing unnecessary harm to the body. It is recommended to drink jasmine tea about one hour after meals, avoiding consumption on an empty stomach or before bedtime to prevent stimulating gastric acid secretion and increasing stomach discomfort.

In daily life, maintaining a regular routine, ensuring adequate sleep, avoiding prolonged late-night hours, and increasing intake of vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits—such as tomatoes, carrots, grapefruits, and apples—can enhance immune function and promote overall health.
