Why people make this tea
Urban life — long hours, constant connectivity, financial pressure, family demands — takes a toll on sleep quality. Research suggests that a large proportion of people in high-pressure cities like Hong Kong experience some form of chronic nervous tension or insomnia, and the downstream effects can be significant: irritability, poor concentration, foggy thinking, headaches, heart palpitations, and relationship strain. Some medical conditions — high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, hyperthyroidism, menopause — can also disturb sleep.
This five-herb blend has deep roots in traditional Chinese practice. Rather than sedating the body, it works in the logic of nourishing the heart and settling the spirit — a different framing from Western sleep aids, but one that many people find gentle and effective when used consistently.
