Tip for Today: Sleep like a baby

Ever stayed up so much till you find it hard to go back to normal sleep hours? Black Circles forming round your eyes? Feeling like a zombie when the sun comes up? This is a tip shared by an elderly relative.

In the old days, when you can’t sleep, there’s no pharmacy selling sleeping pills (there’s no pharmacy at all back then), so what they do is go to the nearest Chinese store and buy Chinese dates (called ‘Kurma Cina’ in my language). These (10 dates) are then boiled with some manjakani (Oak gall).

Drink the water twice daily (one glass at a time) during morning and when going to bed. Do this regularly to have the best effect. This drink is also good for mothers who have just delivered babies.

OK, post later. Ciao.
