Today I will talk about Chinese remedies and medicine, cause I am all about getting healthier and cure my body without taking any medicament and putting chemicals into my body. TCM is so wide and complicated I'll just talk about some remedies I experienced myself. Chinese medicine is well known all around the world and is very famous. If you decide to cure your body using TCM you will have to be patient cause it will take more time and several 'treatments' before you will get results.
Cupping therapy
Last time I had cupping therapy I took some friends with me. Since it was already my 4th time in 3 months my spots were a lot 'pinker' compared to my friends ones.
Glass cups are used together with fire to create vacuum and putted in specific part of the body (not only on the back) this will help the stagnant blood in our body to restart to circulate and toxins to be expelled. Right after the therapy a cup of hot water will be offer to you in order to go 'flush out' the toxins.
This is just my personal thought but seems to me that mens react in a more dramatic way to the therapy compared to women. So I guess that the fact that women have a small 'blood change' every month makes the blood quality be better.

Gua Sha
I've also tried Gua Sha technique 2 times but I actually prefer the cupping one. Gua Sha is also supposed to release stagnant blood and improve its flow.
Some chinese people still use this technique at home since the only thing needed is a simple coin, or better a Gua Sha tool. The idea is to stroke the coin against the skin of the patient in a one way movement from the inside towards the outside and repeat it several times until the skin gets red. I would suggest you go to a doctor and not let random people do this for you.

Pang Da Hai 胖大海
This seed look weird, but it can actually help you in case of sore throat and gastrointestinal disorders. One seed can be used up to 2 times. As you can see in my tea I also put some Goji berries as well, just cause I like them and are very healthy. As soon as the seed is putted in hot water it will start to suck up the water and gets bigger and gelatinous.
Drinking this tea helped me a lot when I had sore throat.
If you get cold in China and start to cough like crazy like I did, I will suggest the best sirup I have ever tried.
It's all natural and has a very old recipe that never changed during the years. Me and all my friend went to buy some bottles of it before coming back to our native countries, cause here we cannot find it.

This sirup will sooth your throat and help you recover faster. When in China I usually prefer to take my own medicine from Switzerland but when it comes to cough I will go buy this sirup and candies cause they works amazingly.
