Astragalus, Mai Dong and Schisandra Tea

Why people make this tea

In hot weather the body sweats to cool down, and it’s also normal to sweat from heavy clothing, strong emotion, exertion or hot soup. But if you sweat heavily and persistently when it isn’t hot, or after only mild activity, that’s worth paying attention to. For ordinary excess sweating, Nourilo brews this gentle tea, which traditionally supports those who sweat a lot and who sleep restlessly from unsettled liver qi.

Method

1. Soak and rinse the ingredients; pit the red dates.
2. Add everything to a pot with 5 cups of water and simmer for half an hour until reduced to about 600 ml.
3. Take in portions over the day.

Nourilo’s Tips

This tea is good for both daytime spontaneous sweating and night sweats. But if you keep sweating without stop, it is safest to see a doctor for a physical check-up.
