#先檢後茶的重要性
Miss Sickness：這幾天鼻涕長流，聽人講飲薑茶可以治療感冒，真的嗎？
CheckCheckCin：薑屬性溫熱，能祛風散寒。不少人在感冒時都會飲杯薑茶，可是並非所有類型的感冒都適合。喝之前要先檢測自己的體質。常見的感冒分有風熱型、風寒型、風濕型等。生薑屬性溫熱，可紓緩初起的風寒型感冒。如非此類體質飲用，就不宜飲用薑茶了。
你是哪一類型感冒？
下次喝薑茶時，不妨做以下測試，看看自己屬於哪種感冒類型，如屬風寒型才能達到舒緩效果。
01 有無喉嚨不適？有-〉02，沒有 –〉03
02 有喉嚨痕癢？有-〉04；沒有，或有喉嚨痛-〉03
03 有無關節肌肉酸軟？有，或兼全身困重無力-〉屬風濕型感冒；沒有-〉04
04 有無流清涕？有，或有鼻塞，且有咳嗽痰色帶白-〉屬風寒型感冒；沒有，但流黃稠鼻涕-〉屬風熱型感冒
感冒類型配茶療（註：根據體質試過簡易茶療如果感冒症狀未能好轉，必須看醫生／醫師。）
風寒型（薑4-5片，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）
風熱型（菊花6克，桑葉9克，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）
風濕型（藿香9克，紫蘇葉9克，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）
Miss Sickness: I’ve had a runny nose for a few days and some people say ginger tea can treat colds, is it true?
CheckCheckCin: Ginger is warm in nature, and can dispel wind and cold. A lot of people will have ginger tea when they have a cold but it actually isn’t suitable for all types of colds. You have to know your body constitution before drinking it. There are three types of colds- hot-wind, cold-wind, and damp-wind. Raw ginger is warm in nature so it can help to relieve early symptoms of cold-wind colds. If this is not what you have then ginger tea isn’t suitable.
Which type of cold do you have?
Before you have any ginger tea, be sure to find out which type of cold you have.
01 Any throat discomfort? Yes -> 02, No -> 03
02 Do you have an itchy throat? Yes -> 04, No, or you do have a sore throat -> 03
03 Do you have sore muscles? Yes, or you feel like your body is very heavy -> damp-wind type of cold, No -> 04
04 Do you have clear mucus? Yes, or you have stuffed nose with clear phlegm when coughing -> cold-wind type of cold, No, but you do have thick yellow mucus -> hot-wind type of cold
Tea remedy for different types of cold (note: if you drink the tea based on your type but do not see any improvement, be sure to seek professional medical help)
Cold-wind type: 4-5 slices of ginger, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.
Hot-wind type: 6g chrysanthemum, 9g mulberry leaves, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.
Damp-wind type: 9g patchouli, 9g purple perilla, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.
