Why people make this soup

A persistent sour taste in the mouth — especially in the mornings — is something many people notice but rarely act on. In traditional food therapy, this is often associated with the liver and digestive system being out of balance. Nourilo explains that when the liver carries excess heat, it can affect digestion, leading to symptoms such as sourness in the mouth, irritability, a feeling of fullness in the chest, and slightly yellow urine. This simple, everyday soup is easy to prepare and enjoyable for the whole family, not just those with symptoms.

Safety first — read before you cook

This is a traditional food, not a treatment. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before making it a regular part of your diet if you:

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are cooking for a young child;
  • take regular medicines — especially blood thinners, blood-pressure, diabetes or immune-suppressing drugs;
  • have a kidney, liver or heart condition, or a known food allergy.

Stop eating it and seek advice if you notice an allergic reaction or feel unwell. Safety notes reviewed 8 October 2026 · How we write safety notes
