Niu Da Li, Kuan Jin Teng and Pork-Tailbone Soup

Why people make this soup

By midlife, the liver and kidneys can run low, and many people notice an achy lower back, a stiff back, and joints that don’t bend and stretch as freely. Nourilo’s advice is to keep moving — and to support that with the right soup. This bone soup is traditionally used to nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the sinews and bones, and dispel wind-damp, and is associated with easing unsteady steps, weak limbs and the wind-damp aches that come with the years.
