Why people make this tea

Modern urban life — high stress, long working hours, and a diet that has shifted toward more meat and fewer vegetables — has made elevated blood lipids increasingly common. Nourilo turns to this three-ingredient tea as one of the simplest, most accessible daily habits for people managing this pattern. Each ingredient brings something distinct to the blend. Chrysanthemum is probably familiar to most people as a cooling, soothing tea that eases headaches and red, tired eyes. Sophora flower is less well known outside East Asia but has been used for centuries to cool blood heat, calm the liver, and address dizziness. Green tea contributes catechins and a gentle stimulating effect that rounds out the blend. Together, they make a tea that is mildly bitter, floral, and refreshing — and worth considering as part of a broader diet-first approach to cardiovascular wellness.

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.

  • Chrysanthemum · Randomized controlled trial, 37 participants · 2023
    Compared with the high-fat meal alone, the extract group had lower postprandial glucose at 1 hour and higher antioxidant markers (T-AOC, SOD, GSH), with lower MDA. Incremental area under the curve did not differ significantly between groups.Limitation: Small sample of healthy young adults given a single high-fat meal, so longer-term effects and effects in people with metabolic conditions are unknown.PubMed 36677639 · 1 more chrysanthemum study
