“Hung Teen Wu” plants & Dried Honey Dates (Mutt Joe)This herbal drink can help to detoxify as well as to cleanse our blood circulation. Its Malay name is “Daun Kurma Merah” and it is known as “Hung Teen Wu” in Cantonese.
Boil these 3 bunches of “Hung Teen Wu”(weighing about 700gms) with 12 large honey dates (mutt joe) in a large pot containing 15 litres of water. This drink is to be simmered for at least 4 hours over a small fire, and then poured into bottles or jugs to be drank in place of water during the whole day (that’s why no sugar is added but the honey dates do provide some natural sweetness there.) Keep in the fridge when cooled.
Read that this herbal drink can do wonder to your health as there are many benefits of this herbal drink . There is this butcher in his 50’s who went for a medical checkup and was told by his doctor that he has three main arteries blocked, and he was scheduled to go for a bypass surgery in a few weeks’ time. He got frantic and went looking for alternative medicine to help him. He was recommended this Hung Teen Wu plant which he boiled with honey dates, and drank this in place of water everyday for 2 weeks. When he went back to his doctor, amazingly, his angiogram results showed that his arteries were no longer blocked and he need not have to go for the bypass surgery anymore. Wow! These days, he drinks this for health maintenance.
This drink is very good for removing blood impurities, “heatiness” in our body and body cleansing in general. This is a very gentle herbal remedy and is not known to have any side effects as it was actually an old Chinese herbal recipe. You can make this herbal drink like once every one or two weeks, just for blood cleansing maintenance.
