Mulberry Leaf & Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

The mulberry tree is a treasure from top to bottom — flower, fruit, branch, leaf, bark and root all have a place in tradition. The leaf in particular is associated with brightening the eyes and supporting healthy blood sugar. I picked up some mulberry leaf at the herb shop recently; it smells wonderfully fresh, and brewed with a few goji berries it makes a clear, fragrant tea traditionally used to calm the liver, brighten the eyes, ease inflammation and add antioxidant value. It suits people with higher blood sugar, those who inflame easily, and anyone with tired, strained eyes.

    Compared with placebo (n=80), the goji juice group (n=81) reported greater improvements in several self-rated symptoms, including stress, mental acuity, sleep quality and overall well-being, under a random effects model.Limitation: Outcomes were self-reported symptom questionnaires, and several symptoms showed significant heterogeneity across the four pooled trials of a single branded juice.PubMed 22897500 · 3 more goji berries studies
