All ingredients can be bought at supermarkets or herbal shops, and they are very cheap.
Simple Preparation
It's very convenient to make:
- Wash the dates, cut them open with scissors and remove the seeds (you can also leave the seeds, but removing them makes the flavor better).
- Put the dried longans and dates into a small pot, add two bowls of water (about 500 ml).
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add rock sugar, and stir well.
- Drink while hot, savor slowly. One cup per day, best to drink in the afternoon or two hours before bedtime.
Why It Works
According to the simple principles of Chinese health preservation, full-body tension and anxiety often result from insufficient or imbalanced "Qi and blood" in the body. Longan and dates are both warm foods that help warm up the body and allow blood to flow more smoothly. Rock sugar also warms the body and replenishes energy. When the body is warm and the Qi and blood circulate, tense muscles will naturally relax, and feelings of anxiety will gradually fade. It's like giving your body a warm hug, allowing it to return to a calm state on its own. Remember, this is not medicine, just a natural way to help your body relax.
Warm Reminder
One cup per day is enough, don't overdo it. If you tend to get hot or break out in pimples, you can reduce the amount of dates and longans. For pregnant women and children, reduce the sugar even more. When drinking, pay attention to relax your mood, don't drink while working, give yourself five to ten minutes to quietly enjoy this cup of tea. If your body continues to feel uncomfortable, remember to consult a professional doctor.
Summary
Goji Date Tea is a simple, safe, and comfortable family remedy, suitable for trying when you feel full-body tension and anxiety. It uses everyday ingredients to warm up and relax your body. I hope you can also use this warm tea in your busy life to give yourself a small comfort.
