All About Preparing For PSLE

[Peony]

Thanks for sharing your previous experience. I always appreciate it when someone speaks from the DC’s point of view.


The American ginseng is more to counter our heaty weather. TCM has been recognised in the medical field.

Aside to Janet, I love EYS’ American ginseng tea. But DD doesn’t. Hence I give her the capsule form.

If feverish, boil green bean water. That is boil water and after boiled, switch off the fire. Put green bean and cover for 15 min. After 15 min, pour the water and ready to drink. This also helps to cool body.

Hi vivocitykid, can i add a little sugar to the green bean water (DSs & me have sweet tooth)? Will sugar diminish the positive effects of the green bean water? Thx

American ginseng is cooling compared to essence.
Fortunately my boy is willing to drink EYS tea. So I will get him to drink again on alternate days. Suspect he is reaching puberty...he really can eat and always hungry. He is very tired after school. Can knock out for 3 hours.

Might not be puberty. Some people eat a lot when they are under stress.

Hi firefly38, normally we don't add sugar in case it may cause phelgm if having cough. Just treat it like drinking plain water.

Starting from now, no more fried food and lots of water. If possible, avoid crowded places. Take Vit C. Did I miss out anything?

[shawnlim88]

maybe VitB Complex ??

My son has fever and sore throat last night...so I kept him at home today. Much better this morn, so he revised a little. Weather is so hot hot hot !!! Typhoon in HK, flood in China but we are sweating buckets here...oh dear.

Anyway mummies, do take care of yourselves too.

My DS also had high fever & sore throat last week & now he got running nose & slight cough. Wanted him to rest more but he came home late everyday & need to complete his hw until 9:30pm everyday. PSLE Oral coming & he still not recover! :nailbite:

Hi Peony, do you know if Korean Ginseng has the same effect? I bought quite a few bottles of them during a Korean trip

Hi, am no expert, but I think Korean Ginseng is heaty.

Yes Korean Ginseng is mostly Heaty so better don't try during such important time. Can't afford to fall sick.

Janet, What is EYS tea?
I think it's possible that he is undergoing puberty. It's good that he eats a lot during this period. Did he has mood swing? I heard from friend that her boy when reaching puberty very moody & emotionally not stable, like to argue with her & get angry easily. I m not sure if it's because of PSLE stress though. :?
