Generally, Tengcha (vine tea) has various effects and functions such as clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting urination and reducing edema, anti-inflammatory and pain relief, improving digestion, and protecting the liver. The specific details are as follows:
1. Clearing Heat and Detoxifying
Tengcha contains abundant flavonoids and multiple antioxidant substances. These components have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, helping remove free radicals in the body and enhancing the body's antioxidant capacity, thus assisting in eliminating toxins. Tengcha can effectively relieve symptoms such as sore throat, mouth ulcers, and constipation.
2. Promoting Urination and Reducing Edema
Tengcha has the effect of promoting urination and removing dampness, which can accelerate the elimination of waste and excess fluid from the body, thereby alleviating edema. It can help relieve swelling, such as facial puffiness and swollen feet caused by edema, and also helps improve symptoms like painful or difficult urination.
3. Anti-inflammatory and Pain Relief
Some active ingredients in Tengcha have anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate pain and discomfort caused by inflammation. It may be effective as an adjunct treatment for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and dermatitis. In addition, Tengcha can also treat bruises and sprains, relieving pain and swelling caused thereby.
4. Improving Digestion
Tengcha promotes gastrointestinal motility and increases secretion of digestive fluids, thereby improving digestion and relieving gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, indigestion, and other symptoms. It also has a regulatory effect on conditions such as weak spleen and stomach function and poor appetite.
5. Protecting the Liver
Tengcha can reduce the degeneration and necrosis of liver tissue in animals, thereby exerting a protective effect on the liver. It helps the liver eliminate excess toxins from the body and may be beneficial for liver conditions such as fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease.
Before drinking Tengcha, one should consult a doctor's advice to ensure safe and effective use. Additionally, it is important to drink it in moderation to avoid excessive intake that may cause bodily discomfort. Special populations such as pregnant women and lactating mothers should consume it cautiously.
