Why people make this tea

Whether from modern stress or environmental factors, breast nodules — essentially lumps — are common in women. Many health-conscious women self-check, and those entering puberty often experience benign breast-tissue changes. Most are benign and not cause for excessive worry, but a doctor’s check is always best. This very simple tea uses just two herbs and is traditionally favored to clear heat and soothe stuck liver-qi.
