The wonderful effects of chrysanthemum goji berry tea on hot days

Pharmacist Ngo Thi Ngoc Trung, Deputy Head of the Pharmacy Unit, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City - Branch 3 said that when the weather is hot, the body has to face many changes in temperature and humidity, leading to a number of common diseases such as heatstroke, respiratory infections, eye diseases, ... especially skin diseases, acne. At the same time, when the liver has problems such as fatty liver, hepatitis ..., the ability to purify toxins is reduced, toxins accumulate in the body, increasing the level of inflammation and skin irritation, leading to more acne and itching, especially the sweaty back area and the skin of the hands exposed to light. In addition, the body has to face environmental factors such as high temperature and sweat, making these skin problems even more obvious. Because of the above problems, chrysanthemum goji berry tea is often used by people in the hot season, helping to cool the body and provide essential nutrients.

The three main ingredients of this tea include:

Goji berries

Goji berries contain a lot of vitamin C and powerful antioxidants, which help protect the body from pathogens, enhance immunity, and nourish the skin from within. Helps reduce acne, brighten skin and improve skin elasticity...
