Hawthorn & Astragalus Water

Why people make this water

Hawthorn is one of the most commonly used food-therapy ingredients, traditionally associated with moving the blood and supporting healthy cholesterol, with a gentle diuretic quality that supports the kidneys’ elimination. High uric acid generally comes from two directions: making too much (from rich, fatty food and high-purine foods) or clearing too little (when kidney function is weaker). Nourilo pairs hawthorn with astragalus — valued for supporting the liver, gentle diuresis, and immunity — in a water traditionally favoured by people with high uric acid.
