Dang Shen, Lotus Seed and Fox Nut Soup

Why people make this soup

Dang shen works a bit like ginseng but is gentler — it nourishes the blood without being cloying and is traditionally said to lift the body’s central energy. Nourilo pairs it with lotus seed, fox nut, poria and red dates to make a soft, warming pot that is traditionally favored for older folks with a weak spleen, loose stools, or that early-morning “dawn diarrhea.”
