Dandelion and Astragalus tea offers multiple health benefits including clearing heat and detoxifying the body, invigorating Qi and promoting the production of body fluids, as well as promoting diuresis and relieving urinary discomfort. It is thus a healthy beverage choice. Specific benefits and functions are as follows: 1. Clearing Heat and Detoxification: Dandelion has the function of clearing heat and detoxifying the body, which can help eliminate excess fluids and toxins. Astragalus can enhance immunity. Combining the two makes the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying more effective and can help alleviate symptoms such as fever caused by the common cold. 2. Invigorating Qi and Promoting Body Fluids: Astragalus can strengthen Qi, nourish the blood, and improve immunity, while dandelion can promote the production of body fluids and relieve thirst. When consumed together as a tea, they can invigorate Qi and promote body fluids, making it especially suitable for those who are physically weak, often experience dry mouth, or easily feel fatigued. 3. Promoting Diuresis and Relieving Urinary Discomfort: Drinking dandelion tea helps promote diuresis and relieve urinary discomfort, while astragalus also has the effect of promoting water metabolism and reducing edema. Combining these two ingredients enhances the effect of promoting urination and helps cleanse the body of waste and toxins.
