Sea Polygonatum Pearl Oyster Shell Goji Chrysanthemum Tea

Why people make this tea

Cataracts tend to develop gradually, and in the period before surgery — or for those managing the early stages — many people in the Cantonese tradition turn to food therapy as a way to nourish the eyes and support overall vitality. This four-ingredient tea was designed with exactly that in mind: sea polygonatum to moisten and nourish, pearl oyster shell for its traditionally calming and liver-supporting properties, and the classic pairing of goji and chrysanthemum, which is one of the best-known eye-support combinations in Chinese herbal cooking.

The tea is also a practical choice for people with diabetes, who may have eye-related concerns associated with that condition.
