Chrysanthemum is slightly cold in nature and has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire. In the hot summer weather, people are prone to internal heat; drinking chrysanthemum tea can effectively eliminate summer heat and relieve symptoms such as irritability, dry mouth, sore throat, and swelling. After outdoor exercise in summer, drinking chrysanthemum tea quickly brings a cooling sensation, helps dissipate body heat, lower body temperature, and prevent heatstroke. Chrysanthemum tea is also rich in flavonoids such as luteolin and apigenin, which can scavenge free radicals in the body, prevent cell aging and damage, and offer certain protective benefits to the cardiovascular system.
Although drinking chrysanthemum tea in summer has some benefits, it should not be consumed excessively. Overconsumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, such as stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Additionally, individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold who wish to drink chrysanthemum tea in summer can combine it with warming ingredients like goji berries and red dates to neutralize the tea's cold nature.
