Rose Petal & Astragalus Tea

Why people make this tea

Spring is the season of growth and movement — Chinese medicine associates it with the liver, which governs the smooth flow of qi and emotion. When the liver’s qi stagnates (often through stress, frustration, or emotional suppression), the result is that all-too-familiar combination: fatigue, irritability, tightness in the chest, and a low or flat mood. Modern research increasingly confirms that chronic negative emotions disrupt the neuro-endocrine system and suppress immune function — which is precisely what traditional food therapy has been addressing for centuries. This tea is Nourilo’s simple daily prescription for spring: astragalus root to firm up and replenish qi, rose petals to gently move and soothe liver qi, and a tea bag to anchor the blend. It takes five minutes to prepare and works well as an office desk companion throughout the day.
