Can I drink dandelion water overnight?

I believe everyone knows that overnight tea should not be drunk. There are many carcinogens in overnight tea. If you drink overnight tea frequently, it is likely to cause cancer in the human body. Nowadays, many people like to drink some scented tea, which is made by drying the flowers of various plants and then soaking them in water. Dandelion water is a kind of scented tea that is more popular. So, can dandelion water still be drunk overnight?

1. Overnight tea

Most of the vitamins in overnight tea have been lost because it is left for too long, and the protein, sugar, etc. in the tea soup will become nutrients for the reproduction of bacteria and mold. Therefore, people generally believe that overnight tea cannot be drunk. In addition, the temperature is high in summer, and tea is easy to become sour and change its taste. If it is left for more than 24 hours, it is best not to drink it, otherwise it will cause diarrhea. However, unspoiled overnight tea has its own magical medical uses. Overnight tea is rich in acid, which can prevent capillary bleeding. If you suffer from stomatitis, tongue pain, urticaria, bleeding gums, sores and abscesses, you can use overnight tea to treat it. If your eyes are often tearful or bloodshot, you can also wash your eyes with overnight tea several times a day. Gargling a few sips of overnight tea before or after brushing your teeth in the morning or after meals can freshen your breath and strengthen your teeth.

2. The effect of overnight tea

1. Anti-cancer and antioxidant: Tea will turn reddish brown after being left for a long time. This is because tea polyphenols are oxidized into reddish brown tea pigments. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols and tea pigments have strong anti-cancer and antioxidant effects. Although the content of vitamin C in overnight tea is greatly reduced, it still has disease-fighting effects.

2. Stop bleeding: Overnight tea is rich in acid, which can stop capillary bleeding. If you suffer from stomatitis, tongue carbuncle, eczema, bleeding gums, etc., you can use overnight tea to gargle and treat it. It can also be used for bathing sores, abscesses and skin bleeding.

3. Improve eyesight: The tea polyphenols in overnight tea have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. If red threads appear in your eyes, you can wash them with overnight tea several times a day.

4. Anti-itching: Use warm overnight tea to wash your hair or wipe your body. The fluoride in the tea can quickly relieve itching and can also prevent and treat eczema.

5. Hair growth: Washing your hair with overnight tea can help promote hair growth and eliminate dandruff. If you think your eyebrows are too sparse, you can brush them with a brush dipped in overnight tea every day. Over time, your eyebrows will naturally become thick and shiny.

6. Strengthen and clean teeth: The fluoride in tea will calcify the tooth enamel, which will enhance the resistance to acidic substances and reduce the occurrence of tooth decay. Fluoride can also eliminate dental plaque. It is best to rinse your mouth with tea for two or three minutes after a meal.

7. Get rid of bad breath: Tea contains essential oils and has a fragrant smell. Gargling with a few sips of overnight tea before or after brushing your teeth in the morning or after meals can freshen your breath. Gargling with tea regularly can eliminate bad breath.

8. Sun protection: If your skin is sunburned, you can gently wipe it with a towel dipped in overnight tea. Because tannic acid has an astringent effect on the skin, the flavonoid compounds in tea also have anti-radiation effects.

9. Remove fishy smell and grease: Overnight tea has a strong effect of removing fishy smell and grease. You can use it to wash your hands for a refreshed feeling after eating shrimps and crabs.

Special reminder: When using overnight tea, be sure not to let it become sour (deteriorate).
