Hawthorn, Sophora Flower and Cassia Seed Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo once helped a relative’s helper who, after too much spicy, heaty food, had bleeding hemorrhoids and would not see a doctor — three days of sophora-flower tea and it settled, since sophora flower traditionally clears heat and cools the blood. The shops mostly sell the flower buds, called “huai mi,” lightly fragrant. Paired with hawthorn and dry-roasted cassia seed, this tea is traditionally well suited to caring for a fatty liver.
