Why people make this tea
Following his earlier recommendation of a green olive and radish soup for those affected by airborne irritants, Nourilo suggested this second recipe — a simpler herbal tea — for anyone wanting to support and protect the lungs from the inside. It draws on three ingredients with well-established reputations in Chinese herbal food therapy: asparagus root (tian dong), ophiopogon (mai dong), and loquat leaf (pi pa ye). Together they form a cooling, moistening, and calming brew that supports the respiratory mucous membranes and helps the body resist heat-related lung damage.
