Astragalus Ophiopogon Schisandra Tea

Why people make this tea

After a cold or a bout of COVID, a lot of people are left dragging — a cough that won’t quit, breathlessness, tiredness, a foggy head, night sweats, even trouble sleeping. Nourilo likes this gentle three-herb tea for exactly that in-between recovery stage. Astragalus is the classic “energy and immune” herb, ophiopogon brings moisture back to a dry chest, and schisandra helps settle the cough and calm a restless night. It’s an easy daily sip while you get your strength back.

Method

1. Rinse all the ingredients.
2. Simmer in 900 ml of water for 10 minutes, reducing to 600 ml. Drink.

Nourilo’s Tips

You can also rinse the herbs with boiling water, then refill with boiling water and steep, covered, for about 15 minutes. It is traditionally enjoyed by people with nervous exhaustion, mental fatigue and weak immunity. Pregnant women should not drink it.
