Reed Rhizome, Job's Tears and Pear Water

Why people make this water

From birth through their early school years, little ones get a lot of vaccinations, and sometimes several are combined into one shot. Children who are a bit delicate, or who tend to carry “internal heat,” can feel feverish and out of sorts afterward. Nourilo’s gentle idea here is simple comfort: start a cooling drink a day or two before the appointment to help take the edge off. This reed rhizome, Job’s tears and snow pear water is mild and balanced, traditionally said to clear heat, drain dampness, and moisten the lungs while encouraging the body’s own fluids.

Method

1. Rinse and soak the reed rhizome and Job’s tears.
2. Core the pears and cut into chunks.
3. Put all ingredients into a pot with 1.5 L of water and simmer down to about 600 ml.
4. Stir in rock sugar until dissolved, and it is ready.

Nourilo’s Tips

This drink is sweet and tasty, so children rarely refuse it. You can start two days before a vaccination and give it for about three days in a row.
