Grassleaf Sweetflag, Polygala, Poria and Schisandra Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo wrote this one with two groups in mind: children who are a little slower in speech or learning, restless or easily distracted, and older adults noticing scattered attention or fading memory. Either way, early care matters — and a suitable food-therapy soup can play a gentle supporting role. This combination is built around herbs long used in traditional kitchens to settle the spirit and sharpen focus, rounded out with dried scallops for a deliciously savoury broth.
