Ginger Tea plus Sweet Potato Leaves pounded for its Raw Green Juice helps with Stuck Mucus
Following the adventures of the raw foodist E who seems to have been downed by eating a lot of cooked pork lechon in one sitting. He had been having difficulty breathing while lying down so it affected his sleep. Last night he tried some raw green juice from kamote tops (sweet potato leaves) plus 2 cups of water. Then followed up by hot ginger tea. Even made to sniff the evaporating aroma of the fresh ginger tea as it was heated.
First the kamote tops green juice. I found it tastes not so good. E’s friend J found it didn’t taste good. But E found that it tastes absolutely great… refreshing even. J and I had a good laugh thinking maybe E is also vegetable nutrition deficient and probably body acidic by now from lack of sleep it was just what he needed at that time.
Second, our maid Arlene saw how terrible E looked and suggested ginger tea aka “salabat.” She made it fresh for E and had him smell the evaporating mist over the boiling pot. E’s eyes lit up and was inspired. He thought that this ginger tea was wonderful and was hopeful he could sleep through the night well.
E, J and I had a tiring day. I drove all the way to Infanta, Quezon and back. That tour deserves a separate blog post though.
E and J decided this time to blow some money on a good hotel and chose the Eurotel Suite which had a window and real hotel amenities. E brought with him the pyroenergen, some avocado leaves tea and some more ginger tea for his supplies.
