I have always wanted to find some tonic drink for myself. As I grow older and after having giving birth to one boy, my body hasn’t been the same anymore. I get tired easily and the headaches keep coming to find me. I feel that I do not have energy to do anything else. I wanted to look for something like DOM to drink hoping that I can feel more energised.
Well… I have tried Dom when I was doing confinement, knowing that I am not a person who likes tonic and alcohol, my mum only use DOM to cook food for me. She would cook chicken soup with DOM, kind of like steam the chicken and there would be some water, chicken oil and DOM all mixed together. Pardon my description as I actually didn’t go see how she cooked it. Haha. She will ask me to drink a little of the soup that contains DOM in it. I didn’t really like it but I knew I had to recover from my delivery and listen to the old folks always!
Well, then I wanted to try Choya. I have only seen those TV advertisment of this young girl drinking Choya and it seems like a nice and relaxing drink. And again, it is also an alcohol drink.
Choya Umeshu (plum wine) is a Japanese liqueur that is made from unripe Ume fruit that is steeped in Shochu and sugar. The result is a sweet and sour liqueur that is can be mixed with soda, green tea or just with ice. From olden times on to the present day, UME-fruit liqueur, Umeshu (Japanese Plum Wine) has been a familiar beverage in Japanese households well known and loved for its relaxing effect as well as its usefulness for keeping healthy.
I tried to find this in the store, hopefully a small bottle just to try it out. but to no avail. After some time, it was forgotten and I gave up. Then I came to know about Ning Xia red which many members of Young Living are talking about, how good it is and how it helped them. I had 2 sample packs in my basic starter kit but didn’t want to try it because anything that is consumable, I’m not too keen to try out, afraid that it turns out nasty. But that day, while I was attending the training on the workshop, they were kind enough to pass us one pack to drink. I was surprised they were generous to give each and everyone 1 packet! I thought, she would give us those small sample cups to test. Paiseh when everyone else is sipping theirs, so I also tried it. Wah.. it tasted sour at the first impression and I can also feel a little bit of warm sensation like when you drink alcoholic drink. But I believe that sensation could be from the essential oils in the Ning Xia Red.
