Remedy for Urine Infection

Recently my daughter was hospitalise for Urine Infection (UTI) for 4 days. After she was discharge, i made a trip down to my usual medical store a kind lady taught me this method to boil for (UTI). Later on, i hear from some old folks mentioning about this remedy and hence i decided to post this on my blog. Hope it will be useful for others too.

Here are some research i found on the website:

 Corn Silk

• A soothing diuretic for irritation of the bladder, urethra and prostate.
• Relieves urinary tract inflammation and bedwetting in children.
• Effective for difficult and scant urination, cystitis and kidney stones.

Ingredients  (For kids/adults please double the ingredients)

1 cup dried corn silk (a handful)

140g Chinese barley

650ml water

35g-40g yellow lump sugar (individual preference)

35g raw winter melon (optional)
2 dried winter melon (optional)

Method

1. Wash all ingredients. Boil water put all ingredients into the boiling water.
2. Using medium heat continue to boil for 30 minutes till the barley are soft and the water become thicken.
3. Add sugar and stir well.
4. Sieve away the barley and serve it warm or cold.

Notes

• Serious cases boil 2-3 times per week.
• Normal on recovering process boil 1-2 times per week.
• The above recipes was purely rely on my own estimation, as i had the habit of using my hand to boil soup (lazy to measure one-by-one). But i tried to measure the ingredient this time round.
• The portion of the recipes are only suitable for kids, as for adults please double the ingredients.
• I used cane sugar (yellowish colour small rock sugar) and Chinese barley, cos it more cooling.
• To speed up the process put a ceramic spoon in the boiling water.

Remedy for dengue fever

A quick post to show what is double boil frog leg soup. These remedy are for beginner, if serious cases you will have to boil papaya leaf soup.

Ingredients
8 small bitter gourd ( encore the seed, optional)
3 whole frog (skin remove chopped)
3 tablespoon of red dates (seed remove)
2 tablespoon of wolf berries

Method

1. Wash the frog leg and chopped them evenly. Leave on a wire rack to drain excessive water.
2. Encore the small bitter gourd or just wash them. Set aside.
3. Half the red dates and remove the seed and wash the wolf berries.
4. Put all the ingredients in a double boiling jar.
5. Placed double boiling jar inside a big pot half-submerged in water. Cover the pot and heat the water in the jar on medium heat or just sufficient heat so that the water does not boil over. Boil for 45 minutes or juice coming out of the ingredients. (Just like the way, we double boil chicken essence without water added in the ingredients.)
6. Another way is to put all ingredients into small crockery pot on medium heat boil for 1 hr till juice coming out of the ingredients.

Dengue Fever

Firstly, i not too sure if this helps. But personally my hubby caught dengue this year on Jan 2010 and discharge 4 days before Chinese new year. It was so scary his blood count was below 28 and have to infuse a packet of blood early in the morning. Then go around asking and seeking advise on what Chinese herbal to brew for him.

At the same time i have to bring my son to school and preparing for coming new year. Phew so tiring!!! I hardly have any sleep. So if anyone out there, whoever have loved ones that caught this virus, please try this method it seem to work for me and it brings up his blood platelets.

I even shared with my sis in law and she pass this recipes to her friend son who just caught dengue fever. He was admitted to hospital and that very night his mum bought this soup for him and surprising doctor said he can be discharge on that day. As his blood count was better. His mum was so happy and thank me continuously.

Ingredients:

1. 3 whole frogs (tian chi skin remove), chopped slightly
2. 8 small bitter gourd (can put the whole bitter gourd or remove the seed inside)
3. 10g of wolf berries
4. 20g of seedless red dates

Method:

• Wash clean put everything into the slow cooker and double boil until all the juices come out. (About 2 hours)
• Do not add anything. If you are going to use it as normal drink, try adding a bottle of chicken essence or any bottle of herbal. (such as tong Cong char). This is to help to speed up, the immune system. Coz during recovering process, the body structure is still very weak. You will need to boil tonic, just like doing confinement.

If suffer for more then 2 weeks. Try using grounded 8 papaya leaf soup. If got any enquires, pls leave a message in my blog. I can share more with you. I'm plain too lazy to type everything out. Lol!

Hope it helps for those with loved one suffering from this horrible mosquitoes virus.
