You can put rock sugar in the water with lotus heart. If you put sugar, note that diabetics should not eat.
Lotus heart is the dried young leaves and embryonic roots from the mature seeds of lotus in the water lily family. It has the effects of clearing the heart and tranquilizing the mind, communicating with the heart and kidney (heart fire descends, kidney water rises, and mutually restrains each other), and astringing spermatozoa and stopping bleeding. It can be used to treat delirium, insomnia, seminal emission and vomiting of blood caused by heat entering the pericardium (heat evil invading the pericardium).
The addition of rock sugar to lotus heart water can improve the bitter taste of lotus heart, and rock sugar is calm in nature, without the drawbacks of other sugars that are warm and hot in nature, relatively speaking, it has no or little effect on the efficacy of lotus heart in clearing heat.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately and follow the doctor’s instructions.
