This invention relates to the field of functional beverages and
traditional Chinese medicine health products, and discloses a highly effective medicinal and edible
plant-based beverage for treating
bitter taste and halitosis, as well as its preparation process. The optimal formula of the raw materials for the
plant-based beverage is as follows: 10 grams of
dandelion; 10 grams of purslane; 3 grams of
black tea; 20 grams of Poria cocos; and 20 grams of apple. Among them,
dandelion is the core ingredient for clearing heat and removing dampness, directly clearing liver and
stomach heat to treat the
root cause of
bitter taste; purslane has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, targeting and inhibiting harmful
bacteria in the
oral cavity to reduce
odor; Poria cocos can strengthen the
spleen and remove dampness, blocking the upward flow of dampness and
turbidity that causes halitosis;
black tea neutralizes the bitterness of the raw materials and provides tea polyphenols and theaflavins to assist in
antibacterial activity, while also astringing oral
odor; apple has a sweet and
sour taste that balances the
flavor, and
pectin absorbs residual
odor, improving drinking compliance. Through the
synergistic combination of the five raw materials, the
plant-based beverage can clear liver and
stomach heat and
spleen and
stomach dampness from the root, while inhibiting harmful
bacteria in the
oral cavity and intestines, thereby reducing halitosis and
bitter taste, and achieving a rapid and lasting
therapeutic effect on bitter taste and halitosis.
