Introduction
Under normal circumstances, healthy individuals can drink mulberry leaf tea, but it should be consumed in moderation. People with weak spleen and stomach or those with deficiency-cold constitution are not advised to drink mulberry leaf tea. Mulberry leaf tea has the effect of dispelling wind-heat and can be used to treat symptoms such as wind-heat感冒 (common cold) and lung-heat cough. Maintain a balanced diet and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as grapes, mangoes, and spinach, to supplement the nutrients your body needs.
Generally, healthy individuals can drink mulberry leaf tea, but it should be consumed in moderation. People with weak or cold spleen and stomach are not advised to drink mulberry leaf tea. Detailed explanations are as follows:
Mulberry leaf tea has the effect of dispelling wind-heat and can be used to treat symptoms such as wind-heat感冒 (common cold) and lung-heat cough. Rich in nutrients including amino acids, carotene, and vitamins, mulberry leaf tea helps regulate skin metabolism, inhibit pigmentation, assist in treating facial acne and age spots, and delay aging. The N-sugar compounds and alkaloids in mulberry leaf tea help suppress blood glucose elevation. Flavonoids in the tea strengthen capillaries and reduce blood viscosity, thereby helping lower blood lipid levels.
Healthy individuals should consume mulberry leaf tea in moderation, as excessive consumption may increase gastrointestinal burden and cause discomfort. Those with weak or cold spleen and stomach should avoid drinking mulberry leaf tea, since mulberry leaves are relatively cool in nature and may aggravate spleen-stomach damage or symptoms of cold deficiency.
When drinking mulberry leaf tea, healthy individuals should avoid overconsumption and also pay attention to dietary adjustments, maintaining a balanced diet and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables such as grapes, mangoes, and spinach to ensure adequate nutrient intake.
