The following look at the general taboo what? A. Do not drink strong tea when taking Chinese medicine, because tea contains tannic acid, strong tea contains more tannic acid, with Chinese medicine will affect the body’s absorption of the active ingredients in Chinese medicine, reducing the effectiveness.
