Plantain Herb and Corn Silk Tea

Why people make this tea

Plantain herb is traditionally used to promote urination, ease urinary flow and clear heat. Nourilo recently spotted bunches of fresh plantain herb at farm-direct shops for just 10 yuan each, so he bought some. He used 4 taels with carrot, corn and figs in a pork-rib soup, then paired another 2 taels with the silk stripped from the corn to make this simple tea.

Corn silk is something most people normally throw away, but in traditional food therapy it is valued for promoting urination, easing water retention and supporting the liver and gallbladder. Nourilo also turns to it for general wellness and to support healthy uric acid levels.
