Why people make this soup
A friend developed bleeding hemorrhoids from postpartum constipation and called Nourilo for a simple remedy — pagoda tree flower tea is traditionally enjoyed to help settle bowel and hemorrhoid bleeding. Pagoda tree flower is a classic blood-cooling ingredient. Nourilo turns it into this clear, savory soup with dried mussel, black bean and fig, traditionally enjoyed to help guard against hemorrhoid flare-ups and bleeding. The everyday habits matter too: regular bowel movements, less sitting or standing too long, less spicy “heating” food, more movement, more water and more fiber.

Systolic blood pressure fell more in the black soy peptide group (-9.69 mm Hg) than in the placebo group (-2.91 mm Hg) after baseline adjustment. Plasma malondialdehyde decreased and superoxide dismutase activity increased compared with placebo.Limitation: Used an isolated peptide supplement rather than whole black soybeans, and followed participants for only 8 weeks, so the results may not apply to food intake.PubMed 23924691
