In the Chinese culture, we drink a lot of herbal mists. Herbal mists to strengthen the impunity, to detox, to boost energy, to balance hormones, to balance ki and to look enough.
I flash back as a youthful girl, my grandmother would always have a big pot of haze boiling in the kitchen for 4- 6 hours. The bitter the haze she tells me frequently is better for the body. She’d cook the sauces with a base of black funk, frog meat or rabbit meat which she reared in her aft theater . During Chinese feasts, it’s relatively common practice to have haze before the starters and haze to end the mess before goodies. perhaps a beauty secret of numerous Chinese women.
You can get these sauces from the Chinese drug shop if you want a bespoke admixture. The herbalist will be at hand to ask you a many questions before picking out a combination of weird and awful looking sauces, instructing you to boil at home. You can also buy popular combinations in set packages from Chinese supermarkets. I would recommend drinking a chinese herbal haze once a week to reap the benefits.
