FAQs

Quick questions

Can I drink this every day?

Occasional use after a heavy meal is the usual educational habit. It is not a daily medicine dose. Stop if stools loosen or the belly feels hotter.

Is jasmine optional?

Jasmine softens the cup. The peel and hawthorn do more of the food-moving work. You can steep without jasmine if you prefer a simpler brew.
