Cornus Fruit, Codonopsis & Schisandra Tea

Why people make this tea

In hot weather, sweating is normal — it’s how the body cools itself and helps stave off heat. But if you sweat heavily without doing much, it’s worth paying attention. Some children sweat ceaselessly after falling asleep, sometimes with cool skin — that can be “deficiency sweating.” Adults get it too: people who are run-down, recovering from a serious illness, or weak after childbirth can perspire heavily and may benefit from some gentle conditioning. This trio of cornus fruit, codonopsis and schisandra is the classic, comforting answer.

Safety first — read before you cook
