Why people make this tea

Nourilo loves to brew a flower tea in a quiet moment — partly for wellbeing, partly as a small everyday pleasure. Fresh lemon is bright and fragrant; with roselle and dried black mulberry it makes a ruby-coloured tea traditionally enjoyed to support glowing skin, refresh the spirit, brighten the eyes and help you feel light. Black mulberries are inexpensive yet lovely, and are traditionally valued to nourish liver and kidney, support the eyes and keep hair dark.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Mulberries · Randomized controlled trial, 24 participants · 2017
    Post-prandial self-monitored glucose was lower than placebo (18.2%), but A1C did not differ between mulberry leaf extract and placebo. Serum creatinine rose about 15% in the extract group.Limitation: Small pilot: only 17 of 24 enrolled participants completed the study, limiting statistical power.PubMed 28619294 · 3 more mulberries studies
  • Honey · Meta-analysis, 14 studies · 2021
    Compared with usual care, honey was associated with lower combined symptom scores, cough frequency and cough severity. In two pooled placebo-controlled studies, the difference in combined symptoms was not statistically significant.Limitation: Only two studies compared honey with placebo, with high heterogeneity (I2=91%); the review calls for higher-quality placebo-controlled trials.PubMed 32817011 · 3 more honey studies
