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.

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
  • Golden monk fruit · Systematic review, 5 studies · 2025
    Across five randomized trials, monk fruit extract was associated with 10-18% lower postprandial glucose and 12-22% lower insulin responses. No severe adverse effects were observed.Limitation: Only five trials were included, and the authors state that long-term clinical trials are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.PubMed 40362742 · 2 more golden monk fruit studies
