  • Zheng Gu Shui

    The words zheng gu shui mean “bone setting solution” in English. In my experience it’s simply the best solution for bruises, sprains and pain to the extremities with no bleeding. And Zheng Gu Shui relieves pain in the bones and joints as well. Yet another example of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that works. I have used this many times on my self and friends with astonishing results almost every time!
    The only caveat: do not use in connection with infection or open wounds.

  • Goya the miraculous Bitter Gourd

    Somebody once recommended Gohyah or Goya Tea for my common cold. And miraculously it worked!

    bittergourd-1I have been testing this Bitter Gourd, or Bitter Melon as it is often called, on myself and friends. The plant is known throughout Asia for its excellent qualities in cooking, health and sickness prevention (lung disorders, cancer and diabetes etc.). The chinese claim that the bitter curd is vital to health. The bitter taste is balancing the other tastes ( sour, pungent, sweet, salty ). Gohyah is included in famous recipes in TCM Food- or Dietotherapy.

    Tea: Slice the Bitter Melmon ( or use try Bitter Gourd ) and purr with boiling hot water. Wait 5 min.

    Soup: Slice the Bitter Gourd and boil with 150 gr. pork and you have a wonderful soup.

    My personal tips in order to avoid a severe hangover after a drinking binge:
    (water, protein, sugar, salt, vitamins)

    Drink a large amount of water
    Eat a protein rich snack (ex. eggs and bacon, herring or salmon)
    Spice with salt
    Take a vitamin pill or a vitamin C
    Drink Orange Juice

    The body should of curse rest (sleep) to be able to recuperate properly. Drink 2 big glasses of water before going to bed.

    The day after. Some light exercise and appropriate massage to relieve tensions may be in place after the circumstances. Some people feel that a walk helps. My girlfriend recommends a warm bath for the feet with herbs – against colds and others symptoms of discomfort!
