Spring Medicinal Tea to Relieve Irritability and Anxiety

Feeling irritable and restless.
Anxiety and depression caused by negative thinking, and difficulty falling asleep.
Hair and skin also tend to be dry.

These are signs of a blood deficiency.

In spring, the liver, which circulates energy, is under stress.

Since the liver has the function of storing blood, if the liver is weak, the amount of blood stored decreases.

Physical ailments due to blood deficiency often appear in spring.

Go to bed early to increase blood

The quickest way is to increase your sleep time.
Improving things through food takes time, after all.

When you are tired, go to bed early.

Even just trying to go to bed 5 minutes earlier than the previous day can lead to your bedtime being about an hour earlier if you keep it up.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are set times when each organ is most active.

The liver's time is from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM.

Dirty blood from all over the body gathers in the liver to be detoxified, and then flows through the whole body once it is clean.

If you are not asleep during this time, the blood remains dirty.
Nutrients do not circulate well, and metabolism also decreases.

It also affects your skin. Impurities in the blood become noticeable as spots, dullness, and dark circles.

Increase blood with tea

Medicinal tea is easier to make and continue than cooking.

Goji berries increase blood. They also suppress eye problems.

In spring, excess heat in the body tends to rise, so itchy eyes, stuffy nose, headaches, and dizziness also increase.

Chrysanthemum flowers suppress the rising heat.

They are also good for menopausal hot flashes, insomnia, eyelid twitching, and when you feel restless and uneasy.

The base for this season is green tea. It cools the body's heat.
In winter, use hojicha (roasted green tea). For those concerned about swelling, use black bean tea.

By the way, the tea leaves are Ureshino tea from the Hara Tea Garden.

This is my first time buying tea bags, and I am very satisfied with the fragrant aroma and umami, which are just as good as loose-leaf tea.

With your pets.

Just like humans, dogs and cats also suffer from blood deficiency in the spring due to a weakening of the liver.

Symptoms include brittle nails that break easily, muscle tremors or spasms, dry fur, dandruff and itching, restlessness and frequent vocalizing, and difficulty sleeping at night. Also, hard or dry stools.

These are some of the symptoms that may be observed.

Pets do not need tea; plain hot water is fine.
You can add goji berries and chrysanthemum flowers to hot water and pour it over their food.

That was some advice for spring fatigue care.
It is wonderful that you can share medicinal food with your pets.
