Why people make this drink

Bad breath is a small problem with an outsized social impact. While poor dental hygiene and cavities can certainly be the culprit, Chinese food therapy traces another common cause to the digestive system: when someone regularly eats rich, spicy, or fried foods, or has a constitution prone to stomach heat, that accumulated heat can rise upward and create an unpleasant mouth odour. This simple morning drink is Nourilo’s practical answer to that pattern — water chestnuts are cooling, crisp, and traditionally prized for clearing digestive heat and moving accumulated matter through the gut, while fresh soy milk adds gentle nourishment. Together they make a pleasant, easy-to-prepare remedy that is taken daily for one to two weeks.
