Why people make this soup

In Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are considered the foundation of good health — the organ system responsible for transforming food into the energy and blood the entire body depends on. When this system is out of balance — particularly in humid, wet weather — common signs include fatigue that does not lift after sleeping, poor appetite, loose stools, and a general feeling of heaviness. These are all what Chinese medicine calls “dampness” symptoms. This soup is Nourilo’s preferred remedy for that particular kind of sluggish, bloated, under-energised feeling. It is mild, nourishing, and easy on the digestive system — the kind of soup you could eat every few days without it ever feeling too heavy. And during times when immunity matters, a well-functioning digestive system is your best starting point.
