American Ginseng, Tienchi Ginseng and Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

Tienchi ginseng (tian qi, also written as san qi) is one of the most celebrated herbs in Chinese medical history. Long used to stop bleeding and move blood in trauma medicine, it is now also well-studied for its cardiovascular effects — research has noted its potential to reduce blood lipids, lower blood pressure, increase coronary blood flow, and support the heart’s own blood supply. Combined with American ginseng (which is considered a cooler, heart-qi-supporting tonic), goji berries (for liver, kidney, and immune support), and a few slices of ginger (to keep things moving and warm), this simple quick-brewed tea is Nourilo’s recommendation as a maintenance drink for people in their middle years and beyond who are looking to support their cardiovascular wellness.
