Regardless of the taste and aroma, tea bags are convenient when you're busy and can be consumed by simply pouring hot water into a cup. Tea bags were created about 100 years ago when Thomas Sullivan, a tea wholesaler in New York, kept tea samples in bags, and customers placed the bags in a pot and poured hot water over them. It is said that tea was first sold in bags, taking a cue from drinking it in a cup.
Before that, in Japan, there was a "tea bag-shaped medicine" in which the raw material for herbal medicine, which was made by chopping the bark of grass roots, was packed in a cloth bag and steeped in boiling water.Today, the cloth bag has been replaced by a paper bag that is resistant to water, and it is still alive and well. .
The ``Rutie Bag of Medicine'' is called a "Furushidashi-yaku", and it was discovered by a doctor known as Kinso Ishi when he was treating the Kinso (sword wounds, spear wounds) of samurai who had been injured in battle during the Nanbokucho period in the 14th century. It was used for cleaning wounds and pulling out arrowheads.Breaking medicine on the battlefield takes a long time, and you may be attacked by the enemy at any time. , all you had to do was soak it and wait for the medicine to dissolve, and it was also convenient to carry, so it was favored by samurai who had been injured while in the army.
During times of peace, Dr. Kinso treated women's abdominal wounds after childbirth as being the same as when they were in the military, so he practiced midwifery techniques and began using prenatal and postpartum medicine, and the so-called ``women's medicine'' came in the form of tea bags. There are many things. Typical examples include Jitsubosan and Chushoto, and Someisan was also well known. It is said to be effective for treating blood clots before and after childbirth, cold feet and lower back, etc. The herbal medicines included are cinnamon, toki, and chushu. Shake one bag three times a day in about 200 cc of boiling water and drink while still warm before meals. drink. After shaking out the bag, pour it into the medicine can again with water, make a decoction, and take it before going to bed.
Another feature of this medicine is that it can be decocted and used again after shaking it out.
Jitsubosan has been a well-known women's medicine since the Edo period, and it still has a strong following among elderly women. Kitani Mibosan is famous and is effective for women's illnesses such as blood clots, irregular menstruation, and menstrual pain. How to use: Divide one packet into four doses a day. For the first two doses, shake out the medicine in the bag with boiling water and drink it before breakfast and lunch, and for the third and fourth doses, add water to the second dose. In addition, boil up to half the amount and take it separately before dinner and before bedtime.
Chushoto is also well known as a medicine for women's diseases, and although there are some differences in the herbal medicines contained within, it is actually used in the same way as San. Black tea bags are widely known to both men and women, from young people to the elderly, but on the other hand, medicinal ``tea bags'' are deeply popular as a medicine that is gentle on women.
