Why people make this tea

Hong Kong’s flu seasons fall in summer and winter, and flu hits harder than a common cold — fever, cough, runny nose, aching muscles, fatigue, sometimes even vomiting and a long-lingering cough. Children and older people, whose defenses are weaker, need to take extra care at the peak. Nourilo offers this simple dandelion tea, traditionally used to clear heat and toxin, to help the body through the season.

Safety first — read before you cook

This is a traditional food, not a treatment. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before making it a regular part of your diet if you:

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are cooking for a young child;
  • take regular medicines — especially blood thinners, blood-pressure, diabetes or immune-suppressing drugs;
  • have a kidney, liver or heart condition, or a known food allergy.

Stop eating it and seek advice if you notice an allergic reaction or feel unwell. Safety notes reviewed 8 October 2026 · How we write safety notes
