Hawthorn Cassia Lotus Leaf Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo is direct about this: there are no miracle shortcuts for weight management. Rapid-loss methods found in the marketplace often come at a cost to the body. What works — slowly and sustainably — is changing how you eat: smaller portions, stopping at seventy percent full, and consistent, moderate movement. This tea is designed to support that process, not replace it. Hawthorn is widely appreciated in Chinese cooking and medicine for its ability to help the body break down fatty, heavy foods. Cassia seeds support the liver and bowels; lotus leaf is associated with reducing fat stored in the body; and chrysanthemum adds a cooling, liver-clearing effect. Drunk for two to three weeks consecutively, this combination is traditionally considered helpful for shedding excess oiliness from the system and supporting healthy circulation.
