Five-Seeds Soup

Why people make this soup

Some new mothers find that after childbirth they get lower-back aches, bone soreness, frequent night urination, or a dull complexion — what tradition describes as liver-and-kidney depletion. This “Five-Seeds Soup” uses five fruit-seeds and is traditionally valued to nourish the liver and kidneys, support the blood, and strengthen the lower back. Paired with pork kidney, the lower-back-supporting effect is considered stronger still.
