You mentioned that we'd have to "regulate the amount taken per week" so could you let me know how often we can drink this? It work wonders for digestion! <strong>Well Maria... each recipe would last for two days at least. The most would be once per week or twice per month. You would want to thin down your stomach wall with all the regular cleansing right? :)</strong> I’ve heard of how effective hawthorn is but couldn’t get hold of the recipe. thanks for that!

You will need to know what herbs are meant for what purposes in the future. :) </strong> Wah… it’s like writing an essay, anyway now I really know that hawthorn is not meant to be together with red dates.

Thanks for the drink. Nice. Anyway, I am wondering if the drink will be ok if I change the rock sugar to dong gua tiao? How about add-in red dates will that help on cooling down body temperature? <strong>Steven... certain ingredients are used for certain medicinal purposes. You can't have one drink that will cure all sickness in TCM. This drink is for digesting the meat and fatty food... eg. wash out all the unwanted "fat" in the body. Sweetened Dong Gua (甜冬瓜條 - winter melon) has very "inner cooling" effect. You won't want to visit the "T" more than you require. Haha! Although red dates compliment with many other herbs. It would not be suitable for this combination as it has the opposite properties. Red dates are use to to invigorate the spleen and stomach. They are normally indicated for those with poor appetite, fatigue and loose stools. I hope this will clear your doubt on why I do not combine certain fruits or herbs in my cooking. :) Maybe you would like to know some other combination that would help clear the "inner heat" of the body. 1. Chrysanthemum (菊花), honeysuckle (金銀花), licorice (甘草片) and rock sugar (冰糖)/honey (蜜糖) 2. Chrysanthemum, red dates (紅棗) and rock sugar 3. Chrysanthemum, ginseng roots (羊參鬚) and raw sugar (原糖) 4.

It is like a comfort candy esp when taking medicine or unwell. Meaning Chinese parents trust these flakes for their kids even when they are unwell! Good stuff but not easy to find nowadays. <strong>Hmmm... I thought other than those Chinese medicine shops, you could get it easily from any supermarket? Maybe you did not look closely in the "pregnant" pickles section. :P</strong> Used to have the Shan Cha Bing when I was young. It is like a comfort candy esp when taking medicine or unwell.

When I got sore throat or feel "panas dalam" coz' of too much oil or hot food, I usually will drink Lou Han Kuo infussion. Another alternative, drink warm lime juice with honey :) <strong>LOL! Then you should love my nutty green apple salad. :P As for the "panas dalam", try soak some fresh lime with 1/2 a jar of table salt and leave under the sun for 3-4 weeks or even more. You can squash one salted lime in a glass of warm water and add 1-2 teaspoon of honey. That would also help for sore throat and inner heat. :)</strong> I would love to try this healthy juice especially because it got granny smith in it!

Will this cure coughing? <strong>Psss... NKOTB.. this is a diet beverage.. haha :P If you are looking for a brew for cough, you can try boiling 3 bowls of water with 9-10 leaves of hairy mint leaves (ask the aunties.. they would know what's ang mor poh ho). Add in some rock sugar for the sweet taste. If possible use a clay pot for brewing. Brew until you get about a bowl left.
