Chinese Herbal Tea for bloating and indigestion caused by overeating 山楂炒麦(谷)芽陈皮消食茶

Dear all,

In this video, I suggested some Chinese herbs and formulated a Chinese herbal tea to help you to digest in case of overeating on any special occasion! I also shared some tips for eating sensibly.

This tea consists of Shan Zha (Hawthorn fruits), Gu Ya (Rice Sprouts), Mai Ya (Barley Sprouts) and Chen Pi (Tangerine Peels). Shan Zha is to help to digest the meat and greasy food (protein and fat). Rice/barley sprouts can help to digest starchy food. Chen Pi is to move the Qi, hence supporting the digestion further.

Shan Zha, especially in large doses must not be consumed by pregnant women unless is under supervision by a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner. Gu Ya and Mai Ya can reduce milk production, so best to be avoided by nursing mothers.

Hope the above help when you have found yourself eating too much food!

Lots of love,
Shirley
