Scrophularia, Ophiopogon & Monk Fruit Tea

Why people make this tea

Mouth ulcers — known as “aphthous ulcers” in Western medicine, and called “fei zi” in Cantonese — are small but genuinely painful: they interfere with eating, speaking, and sleeping. In traditional Chinese food therapy, they are often linked to excess internal heat combined with yin deficiency, and are made worse by stress, late nights, and a diet heavy in fried or spicy foods. Nourilo recommends this simple three-ingredient tea as an ongoing support for people who find themselves getting mouth ulcers again and again — not a quick fix, but a gentle way to help the body stay in better balance. Children from school age upward can also drink it.
