Black Bean, Floating Wheat & Southern Jujube Tea

Why people make this tea

Some people sweat easily — especially those carrying extra weight, women going through menopause, or women feeling depleted after childbirth. In traditional thinking, sweating heavily during the daytime without exertion is called “spontaneous sweating” and is usually linked to qi deficiency; sweating at night that stops once you wake is called “night sweats” and is more often linked to yin deficiency. Nourilo offers this warming little tea for the night-sweat type.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Black soybeans · Randomized controlled trial, 100 participants · 2013
    Systolic blood pressure fell more in the black soy peptide group (-9.69 mm Hg) than in the placebo group (-2.91 mm Hg) after baseline adjustment. Plasma malondialdehyde decreased and superoxide dismutase activity increased compared with placebo.Limitation: Used an isolated peptide supplement rather than whole black soybeans, and followed participants for only 8 weeks, so the results may not apply to food intake.PubMed 23924691
  • Red dates · Meta-analysis, 483 participants · 2025
    Jujube was associated with significantly lower BMI and triglycerides, and lower fasting blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. LDL and total cholesterol fell only in some subgroups. HDL, AST and ALT did not change significantly.Limitation: The authors state the overall quality of the evidence is limited, and results varied significantly by dose, treatment duration and disease type.PubMed 40399274 · 3 more red dates studies
