Early Autumn Health Tea for Children
It's been a week since school started, and students should ideally have adjusted their mood, gone to bed early, woken up early, and adapted to the school routine. If they are still feeling very tired, and even their appetite is affected, it might be due to residual summer dampness trapping the spleen, leading to autumn fatigue.
As early autumn weather gradually turns cooler, dryness becomes more prevalent. Dryness is the primary characteristic of autumn, easily damaging the lungs and depleting the body's fluids. The lungs govern the skin and hair; if there is lung heat or lung dryness, it will affect the skin from the inside out, leading to dry, cracked, and itchy skin, dry mouth and tongue, and a dry, itchy throat. If immunity is low, it can even cause dry coughs and colds.
Therefore, early autumn is best for strengthening the spleen and nourishing the lungs simultaneously. It is recommended to use 3 grams of Pseudostellaria root, one dried fig, 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, and 5 grams of Solomon's Seal. After washing the ingredients, brew them with hot water for 20 minutes and it's ready to drink. If serving to children over one year old, honey can be added for flavoring.
This tea strengthens the spleen, nourishes the lungs, generates fluids, and moistens dryness.
Pseudostellaria root is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the spleen and lung meridians. It can generate fluids, replenish qi, strengthen the spleen, and improve conditions of qi and yin deficiency, spontaneous sweating, and thirst. Due to its mild nature, Pseudostellaria root can replenish the vital qi of the spleen and lungs, and benefit qi and strengthen the spleen, making it very suitable for children.
Figs are sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enter the lung, spleen, and large intestine meridians. They can tonify the spleen and stomach, clear the lungs and moisten dryness, reduce swelling and detoxify, and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation.
Ophiopogon japonicus is sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature, and enters the lung and stomach meridians. It can benefit the stomach and generate fluids, nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and improve dry throat and thirst.
