Yin Chen, Dandelion and Corn Silk Soup

Why people make this soup

Yin chen has long been the go-to herb for jaundice — bitter and cooling, it is traditionally said to clear damp-heat and support bile flow. Nourilo pairs it with dandelion and fresh corn silk for the painful, feverish phase of a gallstone flare. This is the “attack phase” companion; for the calm, stable phase he points people to lighter foods and fresh juices instead.
