Loofah Black Fungus Sea Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Small fresh fish are perfect for slow-simmered soups because they release a rich, savoury stock. Paired with loofah — which activates blood flow and clears the meridians — and black fungus — which nourishes the blood and supports the heart — this becomes a nutritious family soup that anyone can enjoy. It is one of Nourilo’s reliable everyday soups: simple to prepare, gently nourishing, and suitable for the whole family.

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.

  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
