Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
@Dish5189, thanks so much ! From London to you in Pakistan too. Take care and keep cool in the heat!
It’s been raining here in Malaysia. So hot days followed by cool nights.
Glad to see you’re happy and back in Australia. Miss you and hope to see you real soon...
Thanks @Wy Leong ! Oh I see. Yeah, when I was in KL, there were many rainy days too. Please take care! Yeah hope to be back to KL soon again! 😊
Tradtional Chinese Medicine expert combined with Western Medicine training. The yin and yang.
I love TCM and so appreciate all of your videos.
HI @Laura, thanks so much for your kind words and so happy to hear that you love TCM. It is lovely to have you here as part of this community. Thanks for your support 😊
I've been training in taiji, qi gong,TCM under a daoist priest for last 12 years. TCM is so amazing. I hope more people continue to learn appreciation for it's healing ability.
@@lauracommers5680 Oh wow Laura! It is so great to hear this. Taiji and qigong are one of those areas I really want to dive deeper. You are so lucky to have met a Daoist priest and have been trained for 12 years!
❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
Great info. Thank you
Hi @Natalia , my pleasure 😊
thank you for the vid
My pleasure ☺️
Great video! It’s always hot in Thailand so I’ll definitely try these out .
@Indigo thanks! and lucky you that can get fresh coconut water so easily and cheaply in Thailand ☺️
Thanks will try
@Minty, my pleasure! Take care and keep cool! 🍉
Great video, Shirley! perfect timing as summer nears. Are split mung beans cooling as well? I prefer split mung beans with lily bulb dessert soup.
HI @bizkitbox, so sorry for my late reply. I just saw your question here. Split mung bean is still cooling but its 'cooling' function is less without the skin (hull).
We are going thru a heatwave now in Uk and this video is so much appreciated! Thank you so much !
@Sonia, my pleasure! Please take very good care! I think heatwaves will only become more common. Being born and raised in Malaysia (a tropical country), and as a Chinese Medicine practitioner, I am grateful and happy to hear what I shared in this video has given you some new ideas on how to cool down with food. Keep cool and stay safe! 😊
@@ChineseHerbalPantry ☺️
Thank you🙏🙏🙏Your voice is so calming and the information is great. I will search in my country in Europe for some of the herbs. Peppermint and green tea I know we have. Barley,chrysanthemum flowers dont think so.
@thecelestialhealer, thanks for your kind words! You can just start with you have! Chinese barley and chrysanthemum flowers should be easy to find in Chinese groceries. Otherwise, start with mint and green tea is a good start too. Take care during hot days!

Very good video. Is there any chinese traditional to cure glaucoma and gain the lost vision back?
Thank you! I just subscribed and am really enjoying your thorough videos! What do you recommend for dry heat? We live in the desert and my 9 year old daughter daughter seems to get bloody noses during the drier seasons .
Hi @Isabella, thank you for subscribing my channel and I am so happy to hear you are really enjoying the videos here 😊 Good question about the dry heat. For dry heat, it is whether we find a herb that can clear heat and at the same time has 'moistening' function or can replenish fluid, such as Asian pear and Lily bulb. Or adding a 'Yin tonic' to the mixture of the herbal tea/soup will help too. Having said that, please note that the above suggestions are only for adults who are generally healthy but struggle with dry heat. For children with bloody noses, I would recommend to check with Western medicine doctor to rule out any other underlying causes. If all are good, then can look for a Chinese Medicine practitioner locally to give a more personalised care. I can't give any recommendation here. Children's condition may change rapidly and may have many other causes, your daughter will need proper care. One simple tip is, if you haven't already, is to have a humidifier at home. This may at least help a little bit.
Hi Shirley, what is best way to store the herbs?
Hi @StieniMelda , I made a video about how to store the herb. This is the link to the video ua-cam.com/video/5vl4Rfe0X24/v-deo.htmlsi=Br_M_gT32qJ1kTkV . Hope this helps!
Can suggest tea for hot and humid weather where damp heat is prevalent? Thank you
Hi @Steffanie, please check out this video - ua-cam.com/video/RDpwUkGis8w/v-deo.html . I have talked about some tea for hot and humid weather. Hope it will be helpful 😊
Is ginger good in summer ?
Hi @Hind there is no problem to take ginger in summer. There is no such thing as good or bad of a particular food or totally to avoid some foods or take a lot (never overconsume anything even if it is good). In fact, there is a school of thought thinks ginger is good in summer. Most importantly, it is to find the balance and listen to what your body tells you. I won't go into the explanation here, it is too complicated to explain. Moderation is the key too and everyone is different and responds to food differently.
Can i give it with my patient for she drinks less water sometime i add honey on it just for her to drink. So coconut water is good for her.
@Bhambie, for a 96 yo, sometimes coconut water is too cooling. Small amount is fine but don't overgiving it to her. Please watch the section where I talked about precautions for coconut water, especially not good with those with chronic kidney disease or take ACE inhibitors medication. If you are unsure, please check with her doctor. Add some amount of honey is a good idea too!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry thank you so much, she dont have any health issues just she is paralyze patient, i observe gor the past days she dont have good appetite. I find difficuties in feeding her. Im not a nurse, i guess its a part of her age now. Thanks anyway will look more on your videos to have more ideas. Godbless.
@Bhambie, I'm sorry to hear about her condition and it is so nice of you to have been taking good care of her. Please speak to her doctor and nurse in regards to all of her health matters. My channel is only for general wellbeing. Please don't use any of the information here without checking with her doctor and nurses. Thanks and take care!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry thanks i appreciate your thoughts, i will chevk it out then. Im just picking ideas with your ideas for chinese herbs are good. Take cate too.
@@bhambielozano3038 thanks so much ☺️
