The benefits and effects of drinking water infused with mulberry leaves
Disease description:
My throat has been feeling uncomfortable lately, as if something were stuck there, although it doesn't hurt. After my family had me drink water steeped with frost-covered mulberry leaves for two days, the discomfort improved somewhat. I'd like to know what are the benefits and effects of drinking water infused with frost-covered mulberry leaves?

The benefits and effects of drinking water infused with frost-treated mulberry leaves mainly include:
1. Lowering blood pressure: The flavonoids and polyphenols in frost-treated mulberry leaves can dilate blood vessels, enhance vascular elasticity, and effectively reduce blood pressure.
2. Reducing blood glucose: Natural glycosides, flavonoids, and polyphenols in the leaves help promote insulin secretion and utilization, thereby regulating blood sugar levels.
3. Lowering blood lipids: Frost-treated mulberry leaves can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, playing a positive role in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
4. Clearing heat and detoxifying: The flavonoids and polyphenols in mulberry leaves help clear internal heat and toxins, alleviate symptoms of heat-related illnesses, and boost immunity.
5. Promoting diuresis and detoxification: Natural glycosides and flavonoids facilitate urine excretion, helping eliminate toxins from the body and prevent kidney diseases.
Although drinking mulberry leaf-infused water is beneficial, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and patients with liver disease should use it cautiously and only under medical guidance.
