This mixture should be left to cool for at least 30 minutes before straining to drink. Drink one cup, 3 times a day (before or after a meal).
If you have a cold, traditional Chinese doctors recommend consuming porridge with lotus rhizome, Mung beans, fresh vegetables like chinese cabbage, turnips, pears, ginger and spring onion, while avoiding greasy food and seafood.

Avoid for diarrhea, open sores (does not induce sweating so may not be prescibed for those without fever). Not meant to be taken in large doses. ^^Huang Qin (aka Burdock Root, Skullcap Root, Chinese Barbed Skullcap, Arctium Lappa, Lappa or “Poor Man’s Potatoes”) is popular with the Japanese. Containing about 27-45% inulin, it is very effective in helping to normalise blood sugar levels (great for diabetics as many diabetics sufferers will eventually stop responding to insulin injections and would require dialysis instead).

There’s a lot to say for “Acupressure” as well. Western doctors have adapted this therapy as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EFT is a popular non-drug treatment used by many doctors for asthma and even in reducing human psychological fear (for example, fear of heights, insects, etc). Mark (one of my respected Bloggersbase friend) has blogged about EFT so check it out and look closely by a comment by Dr. Julie Roberts!
