Hai Yu Zhu, Goji and Three-Fruit Soup

Why people make this soup

When the air turns dry, Nourilo says skin naturally follows — turning dry and prone to cracking, especially on the hands and heels. Beyond moisturisers, a soup that moistens from the inside helps even more. This one — sea polygonatum with goji, pear, apple, figs and red dates — is traditionally used to support the lungs and complexion, moisten dryness, generate fluids and keep the bowels easy. The source links it to a sallow complexion, rough skin, a dry, scratchy throat, and a tendency to constipation.
