Women in menopause are healthier if they drink some Chinese herbal tea

According to clinical data, at present, among working women aged 30 to 40, 27% have varying degrees of premature menopause. In addition to adding foods containing estrogen such as soybeans, tofu, black beans, sweet potatoes, pine nuts, etc. to their diet, women in menopause can also drink Chinese medicinal materials such as Chuanxiong, Poria, licorice, rose tea, etc., or add them to food, which can not only relieve menopausal symptoms, but also have the effect of beautifying the skin. Chuanxiong can inhibit the activity of tryptophanase, thereby inhibiting the conversion of melanin, and can treat freckles and chloasma. Poria cocos contains flavonoids and polysaccharides, which have a bidirectional buffering effect on estrogen, and have the effects of body shaping and weight loss, beautification and skin care, and endocrine regulation. Licorice extract has the function of promoting the growth of hair skin and promoting the conversion of hair pigments. It can also prevent hair from becoming dry and whitening. Rose tea has the reputation of "the patron saint of ladies" and has very good effects on women's menopausal syndrome, irregular menstruation, insomnia, and irritability.
