Cornus, Goji and Prepared Rehmannia Tea

Why people make this tea

While buying common soup ingredients such as Chinese yam, lotus seeds and lily bulbs at a Chinese herbal shop, Nourilo spotted some cornus fruit. Traditionally used for people with liver-and-kidney deficiency, it is associated with supporting those who experience weakness or soreness in the lower back and knees, dizziness, tinnitus or premature greying of the hair, and is often used as a nourishing ingredient for middle-aged and older people.

Nourilo combines cornus fruit with goji berries and prepared rehmannia to make a tea traditionally taken to nourish blood and calm the spirit. It is also used to help restrain deficiency-type sweating and is often turned to for restless sleep, frequent dreams, night sweats and frequent nighttime urination.
