Three-Treasure Tea (Pu-erh, Chrysanthemum, Luo Han Guo)

Why people make this tea

As we age, high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high cholesterol become common — research suggests a third to two-thirds of older people develop high blood pressure. Prevention starts with eating moderately, keeping weight in check, and going easy on salt: too much sodium leads to water and salt being retained, which causes swelling and burdens the heart. Nourilo’s “Three-Treasure Tea” — pu-erh, chrysanthemum and monk fruit — is a simple everyday brew traditionally used to calm the liver, dispel wind, clear heat and support healthy blood pressure, which can help older people troubled by headache and dizziness.
