Fresh Morinda, Chestnut and Pork Bone Soup

Why people make this soup

In classical Chinese medicine, the kidneys are seen as the root of the body’s vitality — they govern the bones, store essence, and support hearing, memory, and reproductive health. When kidney qi runs low, people often notice gradual lower-back achiness, fatigue, frequent night urination, or decreased concentration. This is especially common around menopause in women and as men age past fifty. Nourilo uses fresh morinda root as the cornerstone of this soup because it gently warms kidney yang without being harsh. Combined with chestnuts, walnuts, and black soybeans — all traditionally regarded as kidney-supportive foods — the result is a richly flavoured soup that is as practical as it is nourishing.
