The Powerful Combination of Jujube, Ginseng and Honey

My daughter gave me a box of Red Ginseng Honey Jujube Tea which according to the food label came from Korea. It is not readable because it is written in Korean. :-(

I have a lot of good things about ginseng but not really sure what to believe. About jujube, I must admit I am totally ignorant. So I did some research:

1."Red ginseng is Panax ginseng that has been heated, either through steaming or sun-drying. It is frequently marinated in an herbal brew which results in the root becoming extremely brittle. This version of ginseng is traditionally associated with stimulating sexual function and increasing energy. Red ginseng is always produced from cultivated roots, usually from either China or South Korea.

In 2002 a preliminary double-bind crossover study of Korean red ginseng's effects on impotence reported that it can be an effective alternative for treating male erectile dysfunction.

A study shows that Red ginseng reduces the relapse of gastric cancer versus control.

A study of ginseng's effects on rats show that while both White ginseng and Red ginseng reduce the incidence of cancer, the effects appear to be greater with Red ginseng". Read more here.

I got really excited. The timing is great because I have been kind of under the weather the past few days. Perhaps, not perhaps but I am sure, due to uncontrolled holiday eating of everything bad for people like me. Aaaargh!

Vitamin C - Sodium Ascorbate

Healing meant I needed to take care of myself better. And so I started taking FERN C - the non-acidic form of ascorbic acid - sodium ascorbate. I dissolve it in half a glass of water and then drink the solution. When I researched the internet about sodium ascorbate this was what I found. "Sodium Ascorbate powder is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C. Vitamin C has intrinsic antiviral and antibacterial activity though its main effect is improvement in host resistance. Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C Powder) may be beneficial in: General immunity boosting, helping to ward off or prevent colds & flus, assisting the healing wounds, aiding the body in fighting infection, etc. Unlike most animals that produce their own Vitamin C, the human body does not synthesize any.

Forgive and Forget?

  Unforgiven I believe in forgiveness, in wishing those well who have hurt me. But I'm going to make an exception. Because the truth is, I hope to God you suffer very heartache you put me through.

And I hope you will curse my name, knowing I was the one who sent it. - Lang Leave Count the number of times I have unforgiven you. For the Universe sake, I could be joking.

Through a Timeline No Sham

 Seize her. Time to measure me. Look at a deeper, truer image.  Memory from 68 years past. Imagination, hearsay, mystery, photographs.  Unsaid words, uncluttered thoughts, driven by the wind, caressed by the sun. I see a bony framed child on a bike.  I see a monster beside me. Be still. I am so afraid.  I see an insecure adolescent. I see a sad faced girl - confused.  Who is she?
