LEMON GRASS | ROSE PETAL | LUO HAN GUO | CHAMOMILE | HIBISCUS
Our Well Being blend is composed
of four fruits treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Red Date
(or jujube fruit), which cleanses the blood and replenishes qi,
Wu Wei Zi ("five flavored fruit") or schizandra
berry to maintain youthfulness and beauty, sharpen vision, and enhance
memory, Wolfberry to increase vitality, promote immunity, and
counteract aging, and Dragon Eyes, which nourish the blood and
skin and strengthen the heart and mind. In addition, schizandra, wolfberry,
and dragon eye are considered to be sexual tonics.
PREPARATION:
For best results we recommend simmering 2 tsp. of Well Being
per cup (8oz) of water, making sure to get a good mix of the 4 different
fruits. Heat 5-10 min., strain and serve sweetened with honey to taste.
(After decoction the fruits may be eaten, but you may want to avoid the
tiny strong-flavored red schizandra berries.) (NOTE:
Red dates -large red fruit- contain pits.)
May also be steeped 10-15 min. in a teapot or cup with boiling water.
