2026-02-05   

On February 4th, we welcomed the first of the 24 solar terms - the Beginning of Spring, marking the beginning of spring. In this season of rejuvenation and blooming flowers, we invite Li Liming, Director of the Pharmacy Department of Guangzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to recommend a Guangdong Lichun special drink called "Lingnan Spring Awakening Tea" for the "Seasonal Health Preservation · Shunshi Drink" column. We wish everyone a happy and prosperous spring. Medical guidance/Li Liming, director of the Department of Pharmacy of the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou Medical University and deputy director of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy of the School of Pharmacy of Guangzhou Medical University, director of Chinese pharmacist "Lingnan Chunxing Tea": how to drink perilla rose: (1 person) take 2g perilla leaves, 3g roses, 1-2g Xinhui tangerine peel (about 1/3 of the petals), 1g siraitia grosvenorii, put the above materials into a pot, and bake them in 500-800ml boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Efficacy: Perilla leaf can dispel exterior cold, promote qi and stomach, roses can promote qi and relieve depression, Xinhui tangerine peel can regulate qi and strengthen spleen, dry and damp phlegm, and siraitia grosvenorii can clear heat and moisten lung. It is suitable for the seasonal health needs of Guangdong's early spring, which is warm and cold, wet and cold, and prone to liver qi depression. It is suitable for the whole family. When it comes to perilla roses, they are a new popular combination in the perfume industry, but in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, their advantages are not just good smell. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Perilla frutescens leaves have the effects of dispelling wind, relieving external heat, promoting yang, and dispelling cold. During the Beginning of Spring season, they can awaken the gradually rising yang qi, resist the sudden attack of the Cold of the Late Spring, and also dissolve dampness and relieve bloating caused by spleen and stomach dampness stagnation. Roses have the effects of soothing the liver, promoting blood circulation, relieving depression, and calming the mind. On the basis of this combination of flowers and leaves, two popular medicinal and edible local ingredients have been added. Xinhui Chenpi regulates qi, strengthens spleen, dries dampness, and resolves phlegm, neither dry nor intense; Momordica grosvenorii can nourish yin, moisten dryness, and be sweet and cool, which can effectively alleviate the common dry mouth and throat symptoms in early spring. The fragrance of roses, fresh basil leaves, mellow tangerine peel, and sweet siraitia grosvenorii make it a warm and sweet Lingnan Spring Nourishing Tea for young and old. Li Liming introduced that if family members have the following common spring symptoms, they may make adjustments on the basis of perilla rose drink. Symptom 1: Yin deficiency and excessive heat, dry and bitter mouth, acne, and sore throat (damp heat). Addition and subtraction plan: Basic formula+3 grams of chrysanthemum, 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, and 1 piece of Fat Sea. Symptom 2: Chest tightness, sighing, low mood, breast swelling and pain (liver qi stagnation). Addition and subtraction plan: Basic formula+5 grams of Buddha's hand+3 grams of jasmine (mint). Buddha's hands and jasmine flowers are the "golden partners" for soothing the liver and regulating qi in Guangdong, with a refreshing fragrance. Suxinhua is specialized in relieving "spring fatigue" and emotional distress, regulating qi without harming yin. If you can't buy jasmine flowers, you can also use mint (bottom). Symptom 3: Diarrhea, rotten stool, spleen deficiency and excessive dampness, cold dampness trapped in the spleen. The whole recipe is changed to: 15g Five Fingered Peach, 15g Lotus Seed, and 10g Yam.
