The effects of yellow essence are to nourish yin and enhance qi, strengthen the spleen, benefit the kidneys and moisten the lungs; it is used to treat diseases caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, and deficiency of the lungs and kidneys. Huangjing tea has similar effects, but it cannot replace drugs to treat diseases.
Huangjing is the dried rhizome of Dian huangjing, Huangjing, or Huangjing multiflora of the lily family. It is flat in nature, sweet in flavor, and belongs to the spleen meridian, lung meridian and kidney meridian. Clinically, it is mainly used for the treatment of spleen and stomach weakness, limb sleepiness and weakness, dry mouth and thirst, reduced appetite, lung deficiency and dry cough, essence and blood deficiency, internal heat, thirst and other conditions.
Adverse effects have not been documented. Caution should be exercised in cases of spleen deficiency, dampness and phlegm-dampness congestion.
It is difficult to achieve the effect of treating diseases with a single herbal infusion as a tea substitute. If you need to use Huang Jing, you should use it in accordance with the standardized use of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner after the identification of the symptoms, and should not use it on your own.
