People have different body constitutions and liver conditions, so the suitable types of tea may vary accordingly. The following teas are considered effective for liver health:
1. **Chrysanthemum tea**: Chrysanthemum helps clear liver heat, improves vision, clears heat toxins, and is suitable for individuals with excessive liver heat.
2. **Honeysuckle tea**: Honeysuckle has effects of clearing heat and toxins, improving vision, and cooling the liver. Drinking it as tea is a good option for liver protection.
3. **Wolfberry (goji) tea**: Rich in nutrients, wolfberry nourishes the liver and kidneys and improves vision. Moderate consumption is beneficial for liver health.
4. **White chrysanthemum tea**: This tea supports liver health and clears heat and toxins, making it suitable for long-term consumption.
It should be noted that drinking tea cannot replace medication. If liver disease occurs, timely medical treatment is necessary.
