Hello, mulberry leaf tea offers numerous health benefits, such as alleviating “excess internal heat” (a traditional Chinese medicine concept), gastric pain, and insomnia. However, excessive consumption of mulberry leaf tea may damage the body’s essential qi and blood, impair spleen and stomach function—leading to a “cold” constitution—and, over time, result in progressively declining health, pallor, and fatigue. Therefore, when drinking mulberry leaf tea daily, it is essential to consume it in moderation and avoid overuse. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
