The unit price of "dry prairie" herbal tea is high, and the traditional herbal tea claims the herbal formula

It is understood that this herbal tea product named after the Chinese medicine "Wutura" was launched in June this year. It is the first herbal tea drink launched by Coca -Cola since entering Mainland China. In Tmall flagship store, monthly sales have exceeded 400 orders. The commodity bottle highlights the patterns of the grass. In addition to the deodority, the formula also includes water, white sugar, Luo Han Guo, licorice, and locust rice.

"Herbal formula, traditional herbal tea; not adding artificial spices and pigments," introduced it like this on the product detail page. Like other well -known brand of herbal tea, this new herbal tea highlights the selling point of "clearing heat and lowering fire". However, it is worth noting that this product is not sold on a single bottle, but the whole box (24 bottles/500ml) for sale. The price is 257.4 yuan after discounted, and the single bottle is sold for more than 10 yuan. Other herbal tea bottle of the same volume only requires only a bottle of herbal tea. About three or four yuan, the price difference is nearly two or three times.

In addition to doubt about higher prices, on the other hand, because the name of the herbicide "Paima Wuling" is very similar, the launch of the brown grass has also attracted a lot of netizens. Thinking of this drink, the back is cold. " So why does her herbal tea be named after the traditional Chinese medicine "dry grass"? What are the effects of this Chinese medicine? The reporter asked experts from Nanjing Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital.

Bitter and cold, traditional Chinese medicine summer deed is a commonly used medicine for treatment

"Paradise is named after the planting in summer, and it is mainly produced in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and other places. Traditional Chinese medicine is bitter and cold. Due to the dispersal of the taste of the grass, the cold and cold, the cold and the heat, the liver and the bile depression, the flat liver yang, so it can be used for the symptoms of the eyes of the liver fire or the hyperthyroidism of the liver yang, the headache and dizziness. In addition, the deed grass is good at clearing phlegm fires, dispersing stagnation, and comfortable gas machines. It is also suitable for the treatment of diseases such as phlegm and fire, liver and gallbladder stagnation, tumor, and bloating. In particular, the treatment of u (luǒ lì, neck lymph node tuberculosis) is a commonly used medicine. It is recorded in Chinese medicine books such as "Shennong Materia Medica" and "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica".

So can you have a stunning effect after drinking this "deodorous grass" herbal tea? People in the industry bluntly stated that herbal tea drinks are beverages after all. Among them, the content of Chinese herbal medicines is limited, which is fundamentally only food, and there is a essential difference between medicine. Therefore, the "effect" is very small, and it cannot replace the conventional Chinese medicine soup, let alone the role of cure.

Huang Zihui also reminded that in terms of Chinese medicine, it is not suitable for those with weak spleen and stomach and those with qi deficiency, and it is not suitable for the general population to drink for a long time.

Herbal tea is not tea, hot drinks are healthier

On the hot summer, eating hot pot or barbecue with iced herbal tea makes many people feel quite comfortable. However, Huang Zihui told reporters that the real herbal tea is actually not tea.

"Experts said, especially when sweating, do not greedy herbal tea, so as not to add cold and cold, which is not good for health. And summer and dampness in summer, drinking hot tea is more convenient to relieve heat, remove heat, and dampness.

Many people think that drinking herbal tea can reduce fire, which is actually a misunderstanding. "Staying up late is generally 'virtual fire', and herbal tea is generally mainly used to lower the intestinal fire." Huang Zihui said that each Chinese herbal medicine has its unique sexual taste and classics, and different people have a yin and yang, and the inside of the table. The distinction between virtual reality, if the food is not right, it is easy to have side effects. So which groups are not suitable for drinking herbal tea?

Children's internal organs are delicate.
