Why people make this tea

City life — and increasingly everywhere — runs on long hours, screens, and stress. When someone runs too long on too little rest, a particular pattern of symptoms tends to emerge: persistent low-grade dizziness, a hollow tired feeling, difficulty falling or staying asleep, mild anxiety, a pale complexion, and cold hands and feet. Traditional Chinese food therapy describes this as “qi-blood deficiency” — the tank running low. This three-ingredient tea is Nourilo’s gentle go-to remedy for exactly that pattern. It can also support those dealing with anxiety, obsessive tendencies, or mild low mood where the underlying cause is blood-qi weakness rather than excess heat.

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
