Glehnia, Ophiopogon and Fig Tea

Why people make this tea

Canker sores are one of those small but surprisingly miserable problems. In Chinese food-therapy thinking, they tend to appear when the body is running “too hot” — from lack of sleep, emotional stress, or eating too much fried food. Children can also get them not from those causes but from too many cold drinks and chilled snacks upsetting the digestive balance. This three-ingredient tea is Nourilo’s go-to for the “heat and dryness” type of mouth sore: glehnia and ophiopogon gently nourish yin and cool internal heat, while dried figs add a natural sweetness and extra soothing action.
