Dr. Zhang Ziyi
For individuals with excessive liver fire, spleen dampness, and phlegm-dampness, it is recommended to drink Wu Shen Tea. Wu Shen Tea is made from Poria (Fuling), Achyranthes root (Niuxi), Plantago seed (Cheqianzi), Honeysuckle flower (Jinyinhua), and dark tea. This herbal tea has effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, eliminating dampness, resolving phlegm, relieving depression, and reducing internal heat. Regular consumption can significantly alleviate symptoms of excessive liver fire, spleen dampness, and phlegm-dampness. Additionally, adding an appropriate amount of honey to the tea may enhance its therapeutic effects.
