POMEGRANATES TO EASE WHEEZING

My friend Haji Hasnin asked me if I knew of any herbal cures for asthma as his son has been suffering from it since last week. He actually went to the herb garden in my school to get a herb called gandarusa which he said helped.
When I mentioned it to my mum, she readily volunteered a traditional herbal remedy that she learn from a friend many years ago. According to her, she had taught it to my aunt and neighbour whose sons suffered from asthma. After drinking the herbs, she claims that both the mothers said that boys did not have any asthma attacks anymore.

Let me share the recipe with you.

1. Buy two pomegranates (preferably the ripe ones and of a bigger size).
2. Wash and then cut each fruit into four parts.
3. Put the cut fruit and half a chicken (with skin removed) into a pot of water (about 3 litres) and put to boil.
4. Once it is boiled, slow the fire. Simmer for about 1 - 2 hours or until only about 2 soup boils of water remains. Add salt to taste. It is then ready to be served.

Let the patient drink this herbal soup once a week and you will be able to see results. If possible, make sure that the chicken used is the 'kampung' type meaning that it is not reared on a commercial basis and fed with chemical preservatives.
