When did I become so attracted to the Jujube fruit? I really don’t know. Maybe my body needs the deep nourishment they provide. I do believe our bodies have an intelligence and tend to gravitate towards foods and herbs that we need, if we just listen.
They are a super fruit full of nutrients. In Chinese medicine, they are said to support the delivery and assimilation of other herbs. They are called a “harmonizer”, to the western mind that translates as something that has a gentle nourishing, sweetness. In my teas to I use them to carry the flavors of the homemade extracts and to add that little bit of extra nourishment with the other healing botanicals to create your nourishing “Cozy Cup of Yum”!
I’ll be honest I didn’t know this jujube information until I begin researching after I made the teas. I just kept following my creativity and intuition, even as I write this now , I think wow I just did what the Chinese healers have done for thousands of years… tapping into this ancestral wisdom is what fuels my choices of all the plants I blend into my teas!
