Does drinking Hedyotis diffusa tea for a long time have any side effects?

Everyone thinks that tea originated from Japan, but tea already existed during the Tang Dynasty. It’s just that the literati at that time discriminated against tea as a drink, and then slowly people began to drink tea again. The Japanese tea ceremony actually originated from China. Recently people especially like to use Houttuynia cordata to make tea, so are there any side effects of drinking Houttuynia cordata tea for a long time? Let me tell you about it today.

In the classification of traditional Chinese medicine, Houttuynia cordata is a heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine with the effect of lowering blood pressure. The specific effects of Houttuynia cordata are as follows: clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and promoting diuresis. Used for tonsillitis, pharyngitis, urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, appendicitis, hepatitis, bacillary dysentery, snake bites, and tumors. It can also be used for digestive tract cancer. Modern pharmacological research has proved that white snake grass can enhance the body's immunity, inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and has an inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Pneumococcus, and Shigella dysenteriae. It is indeed a good medicine for "clearing heat and detoxifying".

The side effects of Houttuynia cordata are mainly the following two points: 1. If taken for a long time, it is too cold and will damage the body's yang energy. Women should pay more attention to it, as it may cause menstrual disorders and endocrine disorders. If you usually have low blood pressure, you should pay more attention to it; 2. This medicine is not the symptomatic treatment of nephrotic syndrome, but will accelerate the development of kidney disease. Because nephrotic syndrome is caused by the damage to the basic functions of the kidneys, and the self-healing function of these cells is almost zero, so simply clearing away heat and detoxifying is not enough to fight the inflammatory response in the kidneys and save the damaged kidney function cells. Through the above introduction, we can understand that Houttuynia cordata tea has a good effect of lowering blood pressure and detoxifying, but if you drink it for a long time, it will have a bad effect on the body. It is recommended that everyone use it in moderation no matter how good it is. Drink more water and exercise regularly.
