Why people make this tea
In spring, everything stirs back to life — and so, in the food-therapy tradition, this is the season to “nourish the liver.” Nourilo follows the classic spring advice: gentle exercise, enough sleep, light eating, building a good base. But spring also wakes up insects, bacteria and viruses, so it’s a season for catching things — which is why a mask is sensible in crowds. The old idea is to soothe and unblock the liver and keep qi and blood flowing. This mild tea of chicken bone grass, capillary wormwood and red date is offered toward that — traditionally used to clear damp-heat and support liver and gallbladder health.
