Hawthorn, Uncaria and Chrysanthemum Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo is direct about this one: if you have high blood pressure and start feeling dizzy or seeing spots, don’t shrug it off — it can be an early warning of stroke, so get checked by a doctor. As a gentle daily tea in the meantime, he offers this blend of hawthorn, uncaria and chrysanthemum. Uncaria is traditionally used for dizziness and head pressure, and modern interest in it for tremor conditions is what drew his attention.

Method

1. Rinse the ingredients.
2. Simmer in 1.2 L of water for 10 minutes, down to 600 ml.
3. Drink over the course of the day.

Nourilo’s Tips

This tea is fragrant without a strong medicinal taste, making it a nice everyday wellness tea for middle-aged and older people. Don’t over-boil the chrysanthemum and uncaria — cooking beyond 20 minutes reduces their effect.
