Why people make this soup

Many of us know the frustration of lying awake at night — too many thoughts, waking at odd hours, or simply not being able to drift off at all. In traditional Chinese food therapy, this type of restlessness is often linked to insufficient qi and blood failing to nourish the heart. Nourilo put this recipe together to gently address that pattern: a warming, mildly sweet soup that the whole family can enjoy, particularly on cooler evenings when you want something comforting before bed.
