Foods with a slightly sour flavor (such as the berries, plums and citrus fruits in
this recipe) can help to nourish the liver. Mint is cooling and soothing to the liver,
and is particularly nice for irritated eyes. The cardamom and ginger help to move
the qi and are warming. Together, these herbs and fruit create a nicely balanced
recipe to harmonize the liver.
