Life is INDEED a box of chocolate. Express yourself. Dont repress yourself.

I don’t know if the medicine or treatment will work but it’s worth every try as long as I can nurse my health back. =0)

 

No acupuncture was needed. Phew (knees almost went weak)

 

Mummy was telling me one of the procedures is to soak our feet and hands with Chinese medicine in a massage machine. She said it’s very hot and the amount of bubbles will tell how much “toxic” you have inside you.

 

Feet first and I still shrugged it off saying “Chieh, hot meh?” We have to soak it for 45mins and after 5 mins, the water started to get hot. It was still rather comfy and after 20mins, I was perspiring like mad. The water is soooooo hot it’s killing me. When I took one of my feet out to see, I was shocked by what I saw. My feet was SOOO red! Hahaha… was so reluctant to soak my hands.

 

After all the soaking, my fingers and feet are all swollen and red. Sinseh said I had too much “air” inside me. Couldn’t even walk properly after the whole treatment. Feet was so swollen I cannot fit em inside my slippers. Hands was also swollen till I couldn’t wear my rings. Chinese medicine really sucks but effective. Had to drink some really black bitter liquid along with 4 super smelly pills. LOL
