Lingzhi, Astragalus and Poria Soup

Why people make this soup

Viral hepatitis comes in several forms — types A through E and beyond — and each person’s experience with chronic liver disease is different. In traditional Chinese food therapy, practitioners pay attention to the underlying pattern of imbalance: whether the liver qi is stagnant, whether there is damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, or whether the liver yin is deficient. This particular soup is specifically oriented toward people whose chronic hepatitis comes with a noticeably weakened digestive system — fatigue, poor appetite, easy bloating. Nourilo sees it as a gentle daily support, not a cure, and emphasises that anyone dealing with hepatitis should be under proper medical care.
