American Ginseng, Longan and Lily Bulb Tea

Why people make this tea

When the mind races at night, the old approach is to settle the heart rather than force the body to sleep. Nourilo pairs longan — long valued for nourishing blood and, in tradition, for “lightening the body and slowing aging” — with cooling American ginseng, calming fu shen and gentle lily bulb. The result is a sweet, fragrant brew that is traditionally taken by people who feel restless, forgetful, or worn down by nervous fatigue.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • American ginseng · Randomized controlled trial · 2013
    The change in the general fatigue score was not significantly different from placebo at 4 weeks (P = .07). At 8 weeks, the ginseng group improved more than placebo (20 vs 10.3, P = .003). Toxicities did not differ between arms.Limitation: The primary endpoint at 4 weeks was not statistically significant, and fatigue was self-reported. Benefit appeared greater in people still receiving cancer treatment.PubMed 23853057 · 1 more american ginseng study
