Citrus Peel Tea

Citrus Peel (Chen Pi) is commonly used in Chinese Medicine to help support the digestive system.

With Autumn beginning to show its colours, we are reminded that change is in the air again. The energy of this season can often help us to slow down the pace of things and consider what our bodies might need. Seasonal produce is also changing, reuniting us with some of our favourite flavours, colours and textures. Citrus varieties will feature more this season and here is a simple seasonal tip for balancing our digestion.

Citrus Peel (Chen Pi) is commonly used in Chinese Medicine to help support the digestive system. Drinking citrus peel tea daily can help to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, nausea and indigestion. Simply steep fresh or dried citrus peel (organic of course) of either tangerine, orange or mandarin in boiling water for 10 minutes. Sit down, slow down, drink and enjoy.
