Astragalus, Goji Berry & Red Date Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo came across a report from a Taiwanese medical research team suggesting that astragalus (bei qi) may be helpful for supporting the health of the optic nerve in people managing glaucoma. While Nourilo is careful to note that online health claims should not be taken at face value, he points out that this particular three-ingredient combination is one he has recommended for years for general immune support and vitality — making it a worthwhile daily habit regardless. It is one of the simplest and most versatile teas in Cantonese food therapy, and it can be prepared in about 25 minutes.
