Rose, Honeysuckle and Licorice Tea

Why people make this tea

Digestive upset — whether a sudden bout of gastroenteritis or that lingering low-grade inflammation that comes and goes — is something most families deal with regularly. This simple three-ingredient herbal tea has long been a Cantonese home remedy for the diarrhea type of gut inflammation. Stress is often an overlooked trigger: when we are chronically anxious or overworked, the body’s gut-brain connection can drive excess stomach acid production and reduce the stomach lining’s natural defences. A calming, lightly fragrant tea that addresses both the inflammation and the emotional component fits neatly into the food-therapy approach. This one is mild enough to drink daily and pleasant enough that nobody minds.
