When our four boys were still young, very young, it could happen that one or two of them would cough or sneeze. One was enough and that was the start of the programme:
Measure 1: the mother turns her head in all directions and thinks about where a false wind could have come from. Are there windows open or a door?
Measure 2: Is the child not dressed warmly enough?
Measure 3: What did the child eat yesterday and today, what should it eat next? Cough once or sneeze once and his meal plan is changed. He doesn't get the same food as the others. The wind must be driven out again immediately. The quicker, the better. This keeps the effort to a minimum and a protracted period of illness is unlikely.
We therefore always had a few packs of Wu Hua Cha (five-flower tea) and Qi Xing Cha (seven-star tea) ready. Up to 3 or 4 years old they were given Qi Xing Cha, the older boys rather Wu Hua Cha. These formulas are not actually those that are taken in the case of an obvious cold, but rather they remove accumulated toxins (waste products), thereby strengthening the digestive tract, i.e. in TCM terms the spleen and stomach, and thus also their ability to keep the body and its defences going. If the pathology is already more advanced, classic formulations such as Ge Gen Tang etc. are used.
Wu Hua Cha
Qi Xing Cha
And it's not a mistake at all for adults to drink these two teas from time to time. I love their flavour and after a sumptuous meal meal I can literally feel the relief. The appetite returns quickly returns. Bao He Wan (Citrus & Crataegus Combination) in granule form I take granules with me when travelling. At home I like Qi Xing Cha and Wu Hua Cha.
We have now managed to find all the herbs for these formulas and they are now available to you under the following order numbers order numbers 88420 Wu Hua Cha and 88419 Qi Xing Cha. The packaging contains instructions on how to prepare the respective tea.
Qi Xing Cha (Seven Star Tea) is good for children up to 3 years old and nursing mothers. It cleanses the stomach and gives a good appetite within a day, helps with indigestion and toxins. Wu Hua Cha (Five Flower Tea) is more likely to achieve good results for 5-12 year olds. Qi Xing Cha is also good for mild fever (drink 1-2 cups warm).
Symptoms in infants may include crying at night, constipation, abdominal pain, colic, but also itching and skin changes.
After a sumptuous meal with malaise and meteorism, after greasy food and subsequent loss of appetite, e.g. after spring rolls, after a burger meal, etc.
Damp heat comes from many foods, e.g. particularly from dairy products, but also from cauliflower, Chinese cabbage and other foods.
There is an almost infinite number of foods containing toxins, especially nowadays, where food is heavily contaminated with foreign substances (insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilisers, heavy metals, growth aids) or has undergone secondary processing (preservatives, e-substances, colouring agents).
In Chinese dietetics, it is believed that a small amount of toxins is ingested with every meal. These should be eliminated as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is to regularly consume certain meals, teas or soups. A good example is the morning SHI FAN, the watery, bland rice porridge cooked for three to four hours.
After particularly toxin- or moisture-laden meals such as grilled food, deep-fried food (spring rolls, pizza), dishes from the oven, etc., it is advisable to make an appropriate tea or soup in one form or another.
As soon as children's appetite decreases somewhat, which in our experience happens every 3-4 days (!) even with sufficient caution (= no fried, grilled, baked or roasted foods and even fewer sweets, treats or sweet drinks in between), a dehydrating tea is given.
Unless otherwise instructed by your TCM specialist.
Clears heat, toxins and dampness, especially good for summer heat illnesses.
Ge Hua (Flos Puerariae) is described as sweet and neutral, clears heat in the stomach and is extremely suitable after alcoholic excesses, for headaches and nausea.
Mu Mian Hua (Flos Gossampini = Bombax ceiba = flower of the kapok tree) has a sweet and cool quality and has a detoxifying, diuretic, heat-cooling and haemostatic effect. It is used alone for bloody dysentery or diarrhoea.
To eliminate heat and toxins, for recurrent respiratory tract infections and pustular skin conditions, acne etc. For poor skin tone due to dampness and toxins, for constipation.
What Qi Xing Cha (Seven Star Tea) does for small children (see there), Wu Hua Cha can do for 5-12 year olds.
