TCM - Simple Cheap and Good Desserts

[schellen]

I took cordyceps for many years since I was very young. I think my mom was trying to improve my immune system because I was very weak and sickly and would visit the doctor at least once a week. I am asthmatic and my mom would have to carry me to the doctor’s everytime.


I never knew young children were not supposed to take cordyceps. Anyway, I don’t give any to my DD cos I don’t think she needs it. And yes, it is not cheap.

Feeding kids with cordyceps is like feeding them gold... It's that expensive...


Lood at the great love of your mum for you!!! (but that time not so ridiculously expensive).

I think buying cordyceps is cheaper than paying the doctor once a week, from my mom's point of view.

I did get my menses early but I just thought I reached physical maturity faster, like my mom. I think my DD looks like an early bloomer too though she has never taken cordyceps.

Hi insider


would appreciate some advise on cooking barley drink for kids... I never seemed to get it right, which type of barley to buy, how much barley to add. My barley drink either end up too tasteless or too thick. My ma's drink is perfect but all in \"argar-ration\" of mixed china barley and us barley (for why also dunno) My kids hate the creamy barley I made. I always felt that the \"goodness\" are all in the \"cream\" so I shake the bottle prior to pouring them a cup.

How abt Lo-Han Guo? all i know abt these two drinks and chrysanthemum are that they are \"cooling\"...
