When facing the issue of excessive liver fire combined with a deficiency-cold condition of the spleen and stomach, it is recommended to choose specific beverages to relieve fire and regulate the spleen and stomach simultaneously. For excessive liver fire, beverages with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects can be selected, such as chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, or green tea. These teas not only help clear liver fire but also alleviate symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst. At the same time, to address the deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach, it is advisable to consume moderate amounts of warm-natured beverages, such as red date and ginger tea or goji berry and longan tea, which can warm the middle jiao, dispel cold, and harmonize spleen and stomach function. However, because individual constitutions and symptoms may vary, it is best to consult a qualified physician or TCM practitioner for personalized advice to ensure safety and effectiveness.
