Can I drink tea while taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan?

In principle, tea should be avoided during the taking of any herbal medicine. But in traditional Chinese medicine, there are a variety of tea to treat the disease prescription and method. Therefore, the tea is not absolute.

During the period of taking six flavors of di Huang Pill, should need to avoid tea, the main reason is that after the Chinese medicine into the body, it is easy to interact with the theophylline in the tea, and cause adverse reactions, or affect the digestive function, or affect the absorption of the drug. If you are taking flower tea or green tea or black tea and other health care tea, the theophylline concentration is not high, and you also have the habit of drinking tea for a long time, then as long as with the staggered time of the Chinese medicine to drink, it should also be possible.

Lastly, I would like to say that the clinical application of six flavors of di Huang Pill is not as wide as imagined, and the indications are not as many as advertised, I have an article in my public number dedicated to talk about this topic, interested parties can take a look.

For some people who are usually cold and afraid of cold, limbs are not warm, face 晄white, shortness of breath and lazy speech, cold pain in the waist and knees, diarrhea and loose stools are kidney yang deficiency, forbidden to eat six flavors of dihuang pills, or else, the body yin qi is more prevalent, yang qi is even more deficient. Usually we drink tea in the period of taking six flavors of dihuang pill has no effect?



According to research, the main ingredients in tea are caffeine, theophylline, vitamins and ellagic acid, these ingredients can be chemically reacted with many drugs to produce insoluble precipitates, thus affecting the efficacy of the drug, so when taking general medicine, it is not recommended to take with tea, but should be served with warm boiled water.



Black tea type generally has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, while green tea has the effect of clearing heat. If you want to drink, you can drink the tea one hour after taking the medicine, which is beneficial to the body, while the effect on the medicine will not be great. In addition, it is recommended not to drink strong tea, and light tea is preferred.
