Magnolia Bud (Xin Yi Hua) & Honey Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo once tried a sip of comb honey at a food fair and bought a big jar — it is said to be very kind to those with nasal allergies, rhinitis or throat discomfort. In the old days, many practitioners suggested those with chronic rhinitis or pharyngitis sip a cup of comb-honey tea morning and night. Here it is paired with magnolia buds (xin yi hua), a classic herb traditionally used to open the nasal passages — helpful for a cold-type headache, a blocked nose and clear runny mucus.
