Astragalus Codonopsis Calming Soup

Why people make this soup

Big-city life is stressful, and more and more people — especially those over 60 — struggle with sleep as their bodies change. Nourilo often sees older folks who find it hard to drop off, can’t sleep deeply, or wake early and can’t settle again. In traditional thinking this often goes with a “heart and spleen” that are run down and qi and blood that have grown thin. This warm soup is meant to nourish qi and blood while strengthening the spleen and calming the heart — a comforting bowl to support a good night’s sleep.
