Five-Finger Peach Root, Bergamot & Tangerine Peel Tea

Why people make this tea

Acid reflux — that burning sensation when stomach acid travels back up into the oesophagus — is extremely common, affecting people who are overweight, elderly, pregnant, prone to late-night eating, or who smoke or drink regularly. Western medicine typically addresses it with antacids or proton pump inhibitors, and these are often necessary. But alongside conventional care, this simple three-ingredient tea has been used in Cantonese food therapy as a gentle daily support for the digestive system. The pleasant, slightly coconut-like aroma of five-finger peach root makes it more approachable than many herbal preparations.
