Rose & Brown Sugar Tea

Why people make this tea

Rose petals have been used in Chinese herbal food therapy for centuries — not for their scent alone, but for their recognised action on the liver and blood circulation. In traditional Chinese medicine terms, rose petals help move stagnant qi and blood, ease emotional tension held in the liver, and gently regulate the menstrual cycle. Nourilo notes that for women whose periods are too heavy and blood-warm in nature (dark red, thick flow), additional cooling ingredients like fresh lotus root nodes with raw rehmannia work well. For those whose heavy flow is tied to qi deficiency (pale colour, fatigue, pallor), black wood ear fungus with red dates is a better fit. This rose tea sits in the middle — broadly useful for any kind of irregular or uncomfortable menstruation.
