Pseudostellaria, Goji, Dendrobium and Dried Conch Soup

Why people make this soup

Few people think about their eyes until something goes wrong. Nourilo, who spends considerable time at the computer himself, makes a point of regular eye checks and has developed small daily habits — gentle eye massage, screen breaks, and soups like this one. At a recent eye exam, the optometrist was pleasantly surprised by how healthy his eyes looked. In traditional food therapy, the eyes are closely connected to the liver system — when liver blood and yin become depleted (through overwork, long screen hours, poor sleep), vision can become blurred, dry or strained. This soup brings together ingredients associated with replenishing that yin while also gently supporting stomach function, since good digestion underlies the body’s ability to nourish everything else.
