After the beginning of autumn, many people will find that a series of annoying symptoms such as dry nasopharynx, dry cough with less phlegm, and dry skin begin to "annoy" themselves from time to time. These phenomena are typical "autumn dryness".

Autumn includes six solar terms: Beginning of Autumn, End of Heat, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew and Frost. After autumn, the rain gradually decreases, and the air humidity gradually drops below the limit required for people's lives (relative humidity 70%). As a result, the weather becomes dry, the vegetation gradually withers, and people feel dry. Autumn dryness is further divided into "warm dryness" and "cool dryness". The former is seen in early autumn when the weather is still hot or there is no rain for a long time; the latter begins in late autumn when the weather turns cooler.

Chinese people have loved tea since ancient times, and different types of tea have different effects. Similarly, tea also has its own tricks in preventing autumn dryness.

1. Improve resistance

With the arrival of autumn, the human body's physiological functions decline, the yang energy gradually weakens, and the energy and nutritional requirements increase. In this season, brewing a cup of warm Pu'er tea can not only warm the body, but also play a role in preventing diseases. Pu'er tea is sweet and warm, which can nourish the human body's yang energy.

2. Clear away heat and detoxify

After the Beginning of Autumn, the weather returns to heat and hot weather returns, so foods that clear away heat and relieve heat cannot be removed at once. Fu tea has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, which can relieve summer heat.

Especially Pu'er tea, according to long-term drinking and practice among the people and modern scientific research, it has been proved that the tea has the functions of anti-inflammatory and detoxification, lowering blood pressure and fat, and eliminating fatigue.

Especially for physical discomfort and digestive dysfunction caused by excessive tobacco and alcohol, excessive greasy food, excessive liver fire, etc., it has unique health care effects.

3. Replenish water and relieve fatigue

Autumn still has the same high temperature as summer, and the weather is sunny and rainy, making the climate dry. At this time, people are susceptible to warm-dryness and yin damage. Therefore, in this weather condition, people should pay attention to hydration.

Drinking tea can not only absorb a large amount of water and vitamins, but also achieve the purpose of quenching thirst, promoting body fluids, refreshing and eliminating fatigue, and prevents dry mouth and weak limbs.

Drinking Pu'er tea in early autumn can quench thirst and relieve heat, and stimulate saliva secretion, causing the mouth to feel moist and cool; at the same time, it also stimulates the kidneys to promote the excretion of heat and dirt, and maintain physiological balance in the body.

4. Digestion and heat relief

After a sultry summer, the weather turns cooler in autumn, and people's appetite is strong. There is also a folk saying of "posting autumn fat". However, eating too much can increase the burden on gastrointestinal function and easily lead to the recurrence of stomach problems.

Drinking Pu'er tea has pharmacological effects, which are mainly manifested in the decomposition of fat, weight loss and bodybuilding, etc. It can remove greasiness and aid digestion. Therefore, drinking tea regularly can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and prevent gastric diseases.

Autumn is a season where colds and colds are most common, as the climate alternates between cool and hot. In addition, when it rains in autumn, the air pressure is low and the humidity is high, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, making arthritis, skin diseases and other diseases prone to occur. Tea contains a variety of vitamins and trace elements, which can effectively prevent and treat colds. Tea polyphenols have a strong astringent effect, have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and are also effective in reducing inflammation.
