What are the harms of drinking angelica water?

Angelica is a Chinese herbal medicine. It can nourish the blood, especially for female friends, it can beautify the skin. Therefore, many people will add some Angelica when cooking, such as Angelica stewed chicken soup. Some friends will directly use it to make tea, thinking that this is very convenient. However, they don’t know that drinking too much water soaked with Angelica can also have some bad effects on the body. So what are the harms of drinking Angelica soaked in water?

1. Drinking angelica soaked in water will cause internal heat

Angelica is a nourishing Chinese medicinal material. Under normal circumstances, there is no harm in drinking water soaked with it. However, some people have excessive yang energy in their bodies. If they frequently drink water soaked with angelica, it will induce serious symptoms of getting angry. Such as mouth ulcers and sore throat. It is recommended to stop taking it for a while before using it again.

2. Choose good quality Chinese medicinal materials when soaking angelica in water

Although angelica is a common Chinese medicinal material, some pharmacies or drug stores will fumigate it with sulfur in order to extend its shelf life. If you buy such angelica and drink water, it will be harmful to your body. Drinking angelica water containing sulfur for a long time will cause mild or severe poisoning symptoms.

3. It is not advisable to soak angelica in water alone

Everyone says that drinking angelica soaked in water can replenish blood, but angelica itself will not increase the body's blood production. In other words, drinking water soaked with angelica alone is not very meaningful for replenishing blood. Under the advice of a doctor, some Chinese medicinal materials that can activate blood circulation and produce blood should be added. Only in this way can the blood-replenishing and blood-nourishing effects of angelica be better exerted.

Although angelica is a nourishing Chinese herbal medicine, drinking it directly in water will make people with excessive internal heat worse, for example, oral ulcers will occur, which is not worth the cost. Moreover, the shelf life of angelica in some pharmacies is incorrect, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish the difference. If you want to drink angelica in water, you can add some saffron and wolfberry to play a harmonizing role.
