Nowadays, in this connected world. It’s hard to get off work. Work life balance is never the case for most Singaporeans. We bring back our work or just keep typing that email from our mobile back at home.
We do not keep to a schedule on our meal times and very often missed meals. Through this process, there are times where we will lose our appetite out of a sudden. That’s because the body is confused.
Times like this we can take herbal soup to helps us improve our appetite. Si Shen Tang 四神汤 is a soup that does that. It is made up of four different Chinese herbs (medical benefits listed below) Most importantly, it is easy to make and it works.
