Does Sour Date and Lily Poria Tea Treat Snoring?

Sour jujube nut, lily of the valley and poria tea are not generally used for the treatment of snoring. 1. Sour jujube kernel has the efficacy of nourishing the heart, benefiting the liver, tranquilizing the mind and restraining sweat; lily has the efficacy of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs (nourishing the lungs by replenishing the lungs with fluids), clearing the mind and tranquilizing the spirit (tranquilizing the spirit by dispelling the inner heat); and Poria cocos has the efficacy of inducing water retention and eliminating edema (clearing the urine and eliminating oedema), seeping away dampness, invigorating the spleen, and tranquilizing the heart. Tea brewed with these three herbs can nourish the heart and calm the mind (stabilizing the mind by nourishing the heart), but it cannot be used to treat snoring. 2. Chinese medicine believes that snoring is mainly due to the deficiency of lung, spleen and qi, and the mutual obstruction of phlegm and blood stasis. For example, uncontrolled diet and excessive fatigue can damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in the internal stagnation of water-dampness (water-dampness stays in the body), and the internal generation of phlegm and drink (the pathological products of impaired metabolism of water-liquid), which affects the operation of qi and blood, resulting in the internal obstruction of blood stasis and snoring will be caused. High fever and dizziness or stroke will also cause snoring. If the cause of snoring is not clear, it is still necessary to go to a regular medical institution for examination to find the cause of the disease and treat the cause.
