Introduction: In spring, many people commonly experience drowsiness and fatigue, which are symptoms of spring lethargy. This is the best time to drink scented tea. Scented tea is relatively sweet and cool, with a rich aroma, and it can promote the body's yang energy to disperse the cold evil accumulated in the body during winter. It makes people feel refreshed and naturally alleviates the effects of spring lethargy.
1. Peppermint Tea
Drinking peppermint tea is the most recommended way to refresh yourself. It was recently recommended as a healthy drink by the American magazine "Fitness." It has a pungent and cool nature, and its main components include volatile oils, such as menthol, menthone, menthyl acetate, camphene, and limonene. It has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, and expelling filth and toxins. However, peppermint can reduce milk production in lactating women and is somewhat irritating, so it is not suitable for women who are breastfeeding or pregnant, or for children.
2. Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea has a delicate and pleasant fragrance. The "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" records that jasmine flowers have the effects of "regulating qi, relieving depression, expelling filth, and harmonizing the middle," and they are also very effective in reducing inflammation and detoxifying for dysentery, abdominal pain, conjunctivitis, and sores. Regular consumption of jasmine tea can clear the liver and brighten the eyes, promote saliva production to quench thirst, resolve phlegm and treat dysentery, promote bowel movements and urination, dispel wind and relieve the exterior, heal fistulas, strengthen teeth, increase energy, lower blood pressure, strengthen the heart, prevent cavities and radiation damage, fight cancer, and resist aging. It can help people live longer and healthier. Drinking it at this time not only refreshes the mind and relieves depression to combat spring lethargy, but also has the added benefits of regulating the digestive system and improving skin health.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rose is sweet with a slight bitterness and has a warm nature. Its most significant effects are regulating qi and relieving depression, invigorating blood and dispelling stasis, and regulating menstruation to relieve pain.

They can nourish the heart and liver blood vessels, release stagnant qi in the body, and have sedative, calming, and antidepressant effects.
