How is mulberry traditionally used?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ibn Sīnā and Aghili Khorasani classify toot as warm and moist — cleansing for the blood, soothing for the throat, and gently mood-lifting. Shah-toot syrup (sharbat-e shah-toot) is the classical Persian remedy for a hot, inflamed throat; dried white toot is treated as a nourishing sweet for cold-and-dry constitutions. The distinction matters in practice: the dark shah-toot is given to cool and soothe an inflamed throat, while the pale dried toot is given to build up someone who is cold, thin, and tired — which is why it replaces sugar in the tea of elders.
