Whether to drink Kingyian lotus (a traditional Chinese medicinal herb) for a cold depends on the type of cold. It is suitable for wind-heat cold, but not for wind-cold cold. Kingyian lotus has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, dispelling wind, and removing dampness. It is clinically used to treat symptoms such as cough and sputum caused by wind-heat cold, and it also has a certain effect on the treatment of tracheitis, urethritis, and arthritis. Therefore, drinking an appropriate amount of Kingyian lotus for wind-heat cold can help alleviate cold symptoms. Kingyian lotus is a cold-natured medicine and is not suitable for all people with colds. If it is wind-cold cold manifested as clear runny nose and cough, it is usually not recommended to drink. In addition, people with weak spleen and stomach should not drink Kingyian lotus during a cold to avoid aggravating the symptoms of deficiency-cold and hindering the recovery of the illness.
Patients with colds should drink more plain water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and maintain a light diet. At the same time, they should keep warm to avoid catching a cold again. They should also exercise appropriately to enhance their immunity. It is recommended to seek medical advice and take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and never take medication without authorization.
