He Shou Wu, Walnut, Black Sesame, Goji and Longan Soup

Why people make this soup

In many families, food therapy used to be planned around the adults — but Nourilo observes that today it is often the children who are the focus. During the school years, children benefit from ingredients that support brain development and focus. And as people age, maintaining mental sharpness and physical vitality becomes an equally important concern. This soup addresses both: walnuts, black sesame, goji berries and longan are all well-known in East Asian food traditions for their association with nourishing the liver, kidneys and brain, while he shou wu adds depth to the liver- and kidney-supporting action. It is a gentle everyday tonic, not a medicine.
