Why don't we honour our nature ?
As a person who grew up in South East Asia, I still remember........ when I was kid my parents always told me to drink Curcuma (Curcuma xanthorhizza) or Turmeric (Curcuma longa) juice. They told me these bitter-taste juices would make good-health for me. That's all they said.
This blog is dedicated for any Medicinal Herbs especially Asian-originated herbs.
