Hawthorn, Ginger, Red Date and Sichuan Pepper Tea

Why people make this tea

Many older people are not keen on moving around and spend much of their time sitting or resting in bed. In cold, damp weather, they may be especially prone to lower-back and leg pain, shoulder and neck pain, and difficulty bending or straightening their hands and feet. Although the weather has been hot recently, it has also been humid and rainy, and older people with insufficient “middle yang”, a cold and weak digestion, or cold-damp rheumatic joint problems may find their symptoms flaring.

Nourilo combines hawthorn, Sichuan peppercorns, goji, ginger and red dates into a warming tea traditionally used to move qi, disperse stasis, warm the middle and help with discomfort associated with cold and dampness.
