Chinese Yam, Fox Nut and Fresh Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Some mums have told Nourilo their little ones sleep with eyes half-open, sleep poorly, wake up with sweat-soaked clothes, seem listless and tired — and wonder why. In Chinese tradition, a “spleen-weak” child often shows poor appetite, a sallow complexion, tiredness, sleeping with eyes ajar, and spontaneous or night sweats. So caring for a child’s spleen and stomach really matters. This Chinese yam and fox nut fresh fish soup is traditionally used to strengthen the spleen, support the kidneys and qi — helpful for spleen-weak children with a bloated belly, loose stools, a sallow thin frame, lots of sweat, or sleeping with eyes ajar.
