Hemp Seed Honey Tea

Why people make this drink

Constipation isn’t always about dry, hard stool. Sometimes it comes from being depleted — the body simply lacks the strength or the moisture to move things along. For this kind of “deficiency” constipation in the elderly, children or new mothers, harsh purgatives like rhubarb or senna are too strong. A mild, sweet-natured seed like huo ma ren is the traditional gentler choice: it moistens and lubricates the intestines, making it well suited to those who are weak or blood-depleted.
