FAQs
Quick questions
Will this clear my acne?
No guarantee. It may ease mild heatiness that sits with breakouts for some people. Persistent, cystic, or scarring acne needs clinical assessment, not only a kitchen steep.
Can I drink this tea every day?
Prefer short courses when facial heatiness is stacked, then stop. Daily cooling teas can weaken the Spleen and leave bloating or fatigue, especially if you already run cold.
Why include wolfberries in a cooling tea?
Chamomile and chrysanthemum clear heat. Wolfberries gently nourish yin and blood so the cool does not empty the body. They are the balancer in this formula, not a sweetener.
