Can I drink chrysanthemum tea if I have gastritis?

Chrysanthemum tea is a common drink in our lives, especially in the office where we often put some chrysanthemums for making tea. The main reason is that chrysanthemum tea has the effect of improving eyesight, clearing the brain and protecting against radiation. Long-term exposure to computers can easily cause eye fatigue, so occasionally drinking some chrysanthemum tea can play a role in protecting the eyes. Some people with stomach discomfort want to drink some tea to warm their stomachs, and they think chrysanthemum tea is good and want to drink some. So, can people with gastritis drink chrysanthemum tea?

Chrysanthemum tea is not suitable for people with a bad stomach. Chinese medicine believes that chrysanthemum tastes sweet and bitter and is slightly cold in nature. Although chrysanthemum tea can clear away heat and detoxify, it is not suitable for long-term continuous drinking of chrysanthemum tea. Especially people with weak spleen and stomach should drink less. If you drink too much, it can cause stomach discomfort and lead to acid reflux.

Chrysanthemum tea is cold in nature and sweet in taste, and has excellent effects in removing internal heat. However, pregnant women have low immunity and weak spleen and stomach. Drinking chrysanthemum tea can easily irritate the stomach and intestines, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the fetus.

People with cold constitution are afraid of cold, weak, have weak spleen and stomach, and low immunity. Even in summer, they will have symptoms such as cold hands and feet, diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Chrysanthemum tea is cold in nature and will only aggravate the symptoms and is not good for health.
