Why people make this soup

Traditional Chinese food therapy holds that the liver and gallbladder are most active between 11 pm and 3 am, a window when the body ideally needs rest to clear metabolic waste. Night-shift nurses, security guards, taxi drivers, and maintenance workers who must stay awake through those hours often find themselves developing symptoms that practitioners describe as yin-deficiency with internal heat — lingering fatigue, dry throat, restlessness, or a low-grade feeling of being “overheated.” This soup brings together several herbs long valued for nourishing yin and supporting the body’s natural defences, making it a popular choice for anyone whose schedule runs against the clock.
