Why people make this soup
If you spend long hours at a desk or in front of a screen, you will know the stiffness that creeps into the neck and shoulders over time. In traditional Chinese food therapy, a pattern called “qi and blood deficiency affecting the cervical area” is associated with neck pain that worsens when you tilt your head back or sideways, along with heaviness and easy fatigue. Nourilo reaches for lotus root and pork spine bones at this time of year — lotus root is in season and the combination makes a naturally sweet, deeply comforting soup that the whole family can enjoy as a regular wellness pot.
