Twin Wood-Ear and Lily-Bud Congee

Why people make this congee

Black wood-ear is neutral in nature, traditionally said to boost qi, nourish the blood and ease bleeding and pain; white fungus (also called snow ear) is traditionally associated with nourishing yin, moistening the lungs and soothing the stomach and bowel. Nourilo pairs the two with dried lily buds in a soft, easy congee that many find comforting for period support — gentle enough that young and old can enjoy it.
