Can drinking water infused with lotus seed embryos promote digestion?

In general, drinking lotus seed plumule steeped in water can, to some extent, help promote digestion. The specific analysis is as follows:

Lotus seed plumule is cold in nature and can help clear internal heat. Some digestive issues are caused by excessive stomach fire, such as poor appetite and abdominal distension. Drinking lotus seed plumule-infused water can help alleviate stomach fire and thus improve digestive discomfort caused by it. At the same time, consuming this infusion can stimulate the mucous membranes of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, promoting the secretion of saliva and digestive juices, which aids in food digestion and absorption, thereby assisting digestion to a certain extent. However, the digestive-enhancing effect of lotus seed plumule-infused water is limited and cannot replace treatment for digestive disorders.

Lotus seed plumule is cold in nature; individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency cold should not consume large amounts or drink it for prolonged periods, to avoid increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach and causing discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. When using lotus seed plumule water to assist digestion, attention should be paid to maintaining regular eating habits and avoiding overeating. If digestive issues persist or are severe, timely medical consultation and treatment are advised.
