She She Cao Traditional Chinese Beverage
After having tasted the ginger brew in The Spa, I never stopped yearning for its taste. That is until a fellow blogger, Sire, told me to try She She Cao. It is not ordinary that a hot drink would appeal to me, considering I was never a coffee drinker. I have tried local and imported ginger brands but nothing came close to what I tasted in The Spa, until I discovered She She Cao.
The 1lb can of She She Cao retails for P80 (less than $2). I bought mine from one of those Chinese drugstore in a mall. Sheshe Cao is a traditional Chinese anti inflammatory drink made from Olendala herb which is grown in the province of Guandong in China. It is widely used as a Chinese medicine. It contains natural sugar cane which explains its sweet taste. It is also said to the healthy alternative to softdrinks, because it is essentially a thirst quencher. It is also said to be effective against rheumatism and arthritis. Because it reduces the inflammation of the joints. Sheshe Cao also acts as diuretic and its regular intake will eliminate skin problems such as acne eruptions. It purifies the body of air pollutants such as smoke, fumes and alcohol. It can also help relieve the cough, fever and colds as it helps remove sputum.
