I gave my girl chinese medicine \"Hou Zao San\" and her cough and phlegm seems to have reduced by a lot. She has been coughing for 3 weeks and western medicine and nebuliser don't work.

Now she cough less often and is recovering.

Hi


My DS took the Hou Zao San before when he has a lot of phelgm and slight cough. This medicine helps to cure his phelgm. After he's well, I boiled dong cong cao for him weekly.

Definitely! My child has been taking it for the past few years and has been having good body resistance since then

We failed many times using the traditional method. I even bought a digital food thermometer for that! At least now it's very easy. Pop milk into container, stir in culture, cover, turn on switch & viola!
This mummy is pretty lazy If there's a shorter way to do it without compromising on quality, I will take the shorter way
(Don't think that I spend alot of time in the kitchen cos alot of my boy's food is home made - We must all learn to work smartly & efficiently to maximise time!)

mrswongtuition,

Can I check whether the brand name of your yogurt maker is Smart Bean??

Saw this at Tangs for $55. Basically, you just put some yogurt culture into a 1L pkt of milk and slot it into the container for some time in order for it to set into yogurt.

Another one I saw was called Severin, a German made brand, abt $78. Any comments on that??

Hi all,


You can try using thermo pot to do yogurt. I tried once and successful.

Vitakids has one, $40 plus if i am not wrong.
