It is recorded in the Standard of Chinese Materia Medica of Zhejiang Province that Camellia sinensis pollen can be used medicinally, but its side effects and contraindications have not yet been clarified.
Tea pollen, as a traditional Chinese medicine, comes from the dried pollen of Camellia sinensis collected by worker bees such as the Chinese honeybee, a honeybee family insect, and is mildly warm in nature, sweet in flavor, and has the efficacy of benefiting the qi and strengthening the essence of the body, and it is attributed to the heart, liver, spleen, and stomach meridians.
Tea pollen can be used for the treatment of fatigue (mental exhaustion, physical weakness), insomnia, sleeplessness, post-disease weakness, and also for the treatment of chronic liver disease with the above manifestations. There are no authoritative studies to clarify the side effects and contraindications of Camellia sinensis.
It should be noted that, in order to ensure the rational and safe use of medication, it is necessary to select and use Chinese herbs under the guidance of a professional doctor’s diagnosis, and do not blindly choose Chinese herbs on your own.
