Day 2 of Chinese Herbs

These are photos of my Chinese herbs.

I have been given 4 days worth.
My cost was 6.00 per bag or per day, for a total of $24.00.


My herbs cooking.
The recipe is as follows:
Pour 4 cups ( as in coffee cup) into a pan, add herbs, Boil, then simmer for an hour.
( reducing liquid to 1 cup)
Drink the one cup.
(after dinner, or one hour before sleep)
Any leftover can be used for breakfast.


Cooking of herbs.
This smells like a very strong vegetable soup.
That is what it tastes like to me.


My cup of Chinese herbs, served with a small treat to make taste buds," taste," better.



Hmm. What to do with these leftover herbs?
Too good, too gold, to throw away.
I add water, boil, reduce, and use for breakfast.


If you have any questions I would be glad to share personal experience, as it goes on.
Comment with an address, or e-mail me through my blog profile.

What is the secret of the Chinese life order that is so remarkable for its longevity and health?

The journalist wanted to study her own experience in China to give an answer to the question. In a couple of weeks after coming to China Muscovites felt wonderfully, the cheeks were blushing while some time before they seemed to be faded away in Moscow's haste; wrinkles became smoothed out and people hardly recollected their own diseases.

What is the secret of the Chinese life order that is so remarkable for its longevity and health?
In China, a person of any age feels he is needed in the family and in the society in general.

Till the extreme old age Chinese keep lucid minds and keen memory. They are extremely kind and quiet with respect to each other. In China, people at the age of 60-70 are not old indeed.

Correct nutrition means regular meals; Chinese take meals every four hours. While having meals they disregard any other problems.





The main forms of modern TCM can be traced back 2,500 years: in particular, the concept of Yin and Yang, which forms the basic idea behind I Ching - the Book of Change. From Yin and Yang comes a belief that health requires a constant adaptation to circumstances, and that illness is the consequence of an inability to change. From this comes the idea of a free-flowing energy of life Qi (pronounced Tchee!) which is in living people but cannot (as yet!) be pinpointed in the laboratory. Qi requires a living body to manifest itself, and a means to form and nourish that body: Xue (Chway) or 'Blood'. From the interaction of these four ideas, Yin, Yang, Qi and Xue comes much of our understanding of health according to TCM
