The Benefits of Herbal Tonic Soup

Oh ya, there is another talk I went lately....

Ms Dora Ng, TCM Physician and Head Acupuncturist from Complementary Integrative Medicine Tan Tock Seng Hospital has came to our office and talked to us the benefits of consuming herbal tonic soup and its medicinal property.

Drinking herbal soup is part of culinary item in a traditional Chinese culture. There are various types of herbal concoction used to make soup to suit each individual body constitution (see pictures below). There are also many different ways of making soup which specially cater for the elderly, for our young, and for people like you and me who are always rushing for time to go to work.....

This talk uses the Oriental Medical theory of Yin and Yang concept and the theory of the Five elements that provide a framework which aids in making food choices that is most beneficial to anyone of us. From the talk, I have jot down some recipes in cooking the soup and healthy vegetable dishes... yummy.....
