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.
