Harvesting And Boiling Of Plantago Major Herbal Drink

From yesterday's announcement, movement control order has been enforced on 6 states including Selangor (where my sons are). The state of Perak (where I am) continues with conditional movement order. The enforcement starts from 13 Jan midnight until 26 Jan 2021. No interstate travelling is allowed nationwide. Most important I hope it will help to bring down the number of infected cases.

We have to abide by the SOP of MCO but the birds (seen as tiny specks in the above photo) flying in the sky are not restricted by the SOP. 

When we are restricted, it is only then we start to appreciate our freedom to move around.

The rainy season has caused the weeds to grow. I had better clear some of the weeds because I didn't want any creepy crawlies hiding in my garden.

I have Plantago Major or the common plantain growing wild in my garden. The seeds have self propagated all over in the flower pots and ground. As I pulled out the weeds, I also pulled out enough Plantago Major plants to boil herbal drink. I am not sure of its other medicinal benefits, but I was told by the elderlies that the herbal drink is good for cleansing our urinary track and bladder.

Only 2 or 3 items are needed to boil the herbal drink.

1. Plantago major plants - thoroughly washed cleaned.

2. A packet of raw and cooked barley (from Chinese medical shop).

3. Cane sugar to taste (optional).

Once boiled and cooled, I shared some of the herbal drink with my friend and neighbour who have been blessing me in their own ways.

Meanwhile, hubby was feeling hungry. He went on his motorcycle and came back with takeaway lunch from the Indian stall in the foodcourt.

He bought nasi briyani, 2 deep fried chicken drumsticks, sambal prawns and curry for both of us to share.

This morning hubby and I weighed ourselves and we were both heavier by 4 kg! No wonder I was feeling lazy lately. I told hubby I won't be sharing lunch with him.

My yellow hibiscus and the pink hibiscus not fully opened yet.

Player's and Gold Flake cigarettes.

Saw these two displayed on the wall of a hotel in Malacca.

There are many ways in which God works in our lives,

but it is the same God who does the work in and

through all of us who are his.

The Holy Spirit displays God's power through each of us

as a means of helping the entire church.
