Herbal Supplements
I use different herbs for many different things, depending on what ails me at the time. For example,
- Yin Chiao or Gan Mao Ling for winter colds
- Zheng Gu Shui for joint, tendon or ligament pain
- Dit Da Jow for muscle soreness or bruising
- Ginseng or Royal Jelly for general energy boost
These are all very good for what they are intended to help. There are another set of herbal collections that are more everyday tonic and less for specific ailments. These are made made by fermenting the herbs in vodka for making an herbal extraction. Vodka is a clean grain alcohol that is neutral to the energy of the herbs and it does not hide the aroma or taste of the herbal tincture.
These include the following 6 remedies…
