Why people make this tea

Fatty liver has become one of the most common liver conditions in modern life. The non-alcoholic form is closely linked to excess weight, diabetes, and metabolic imbalances; research suggests roughly one in three middle-aged adults may have some degree of it. It often goes unnoticed, though fatigue and a vague discomfort around the liver area are sometimes reported. While lifestyle changes — more movement, a lighter diet, reaching a healthy weight — remain the foundation of managing fatty liver, Nourilo recommends this simple daily tea as a practical dietary support for people who are also working on those lifestyle changes. The four-ingredient blend is specifically chosen for those with obesity, elevated triglycerides/cholesterol/blood sugar, or confirmed non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this tea particularly suited to?

This tea is specifically chosen for people with obesity, elevated triglycerides, elevated cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, or confirmed non-alcoholic fatty liver who are also working on broader lifestyle changes such as more movement and a lighter diet.

What are the four ingredients and how much of each is used?

Each serving uses one tablespoon each of hawthorn berries, dry-roasted cassia seeds, dried chrysanthemum flowers, and dried lotus leaf pieces — all equal parts.

How often and when is this tea traditionally enjoyed?

The file recommends enjoying it 3–5 times per week as an afternoon tea.

How much does one preparation make, and can it be re-steeped?

One preparation yields approximately one pot, or 2–3 cups. The pot can be refilled with hot water and steeped again until the flavour is fully spent.

Is this tea presented as a treatment or cure for fatty liver?

No. Nourilo presents it as a practical dietary support as part of a balanced diet, to be used alongside lifestyle changes such as more movement, a lighter diet, and reaching a healthy weight — not as a treatment, cure, or diagnosis for any condition. The four herbs are traditionally associated with supporting liver function and moderating fat metabolism.
