Fritillary Bulb, Ophiopogon and Snow Pear Soup
traditionally associated with dissolving phlegm, clearing heat from the lungs, and moistening a dry, irritated throat
In short: Fritillary Bulb, Ophiopogon and Snow Pear Soup is a soup that traditionally associated with dissolving phlegm, clearing heat from the lungs, and moistening a dry, irritated throat. It is most often made for respiratory & lung wellness, energy & vitality. Total time about 1 hr 10 min. Key ingredients: snow pear, ophiopogon root.
Why people make this soup
Many people find that after a cold is mostly over, the cough lingers — sometimes for weeks. The throat feels dry and scratchy, sleep is disrupted by coughing fits, and ordinary cough syrups only get you so far. In Cantonese food therapy, this pattern is recognised as a combination of residual lung heat and insufficient lung moisture (yin deficiency). Fritillary bulb and ophiopogon root together are among the most classic tools for this exact situation.
This three-ingredient soup (with pear) is one of Nourilo’s most-recommended home remedies because it is gentle, genuinely pleasant to drink, and appropriate for the whole family.
