White Ginseng

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginseng promotes yang energy, improves circulation, increases blood supply, revitalizes and aids recovery from weakness after illness, and stimulates the body. It is available in four forms:

 I usually recommend this white ginseng to those who cough and thus helps to strengthen their lungs.

The fresh ginseng is the raw product.

The white ginseng is fresh ginseng which has been dried.

The red ginseng is harvested after six years, is not peeled and is steam-cured at standard boiling temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius, thereby giving it a glossy reddish-brown color.

The sun ginseng is created from a heat processing method which increases ginsenoside components by steaming white ginseng at a higher temperature than red ginseng.

Chirping Bird

You just need to clap your hands and it will chip..

No matter where we live, the songs of birds brighten up our days.  This is nature’s orchestra at its best.  The early morning chirps of a robin or chickadee delight us, and the sound of a honking flock of migrating geese inspire us.  There is an incredible diversity.  Some birds have their songs encoded at birth, while others learn their songs, either from their father, or from birds around them.  Some of those that learn their songs only learn when they are young, and others keep learning their entire life.  Some species may sing the same song but have different dialects from one area to another.  Some birds such as the Brown thrasher, may have hundreds or thousands of different songs, while others such as the Common Yellowthroat, may have as little as one.

Spring Onion

 Spring onion growing on my dinner table

The scallion (also known as spring onion, salad onion, onion sticks, green shallots or green onion in many countries) is an edible plant of the genus Allium. The upper green portion is hollow. It lacks a fully developed root bulb. Harvested for their taste, they are milder than most onions. They may be cooked or used raw as a part of salads or Asian recipes. Diced scallions are used in soup, noodle and seafood dishes, as well as sandwiches, curries or as part of a stir fry. To make many Eastern sauces, the bottom quarter-inch of scallions are commonly removed before use. Cut at root level.
