alamak, u dun like ginger oni during pregnancy or not at all? else must tell your confinement lady not to use too much in your food, its good for getting rid of the wind and keeps body warm..
 
I also dun really like ginger but it helps with relieving MS so I have been drinking more ginger tea than before I preggy..

i totally hate it right fr the beginning. oh and i was told, another way of getting rid of "wind" is to drink lemon grass with pandan.

ya,i think i can only accept ginger in food but not drinks,so i will definately drink the red date water minus the ginger.

red date drink is nice,but plus ginger...errr...total turn off to me...like teh halia

Same here. I like ginger with fish or chicken. Stir fry ginger only, not deep fried. I also tried ginger tea during my MS but I couldn't accept the spice taste.it tastes any weird. No also for any sweet with ginger.

Use dried ones.

@gammahedging I also didn't have ginger in my red dates tea for #1 confinement. Only have Lan zhao, hong zhao and dang Shen, v diluted. Coz I was having v bad cough and sore throat then. My mum advise to cut down on ginger even for my food.

yeos.png Longan Red Date Drink
A highly popular drink especially during Chinese festivals, this deliciously sweet blend of longan and red dates drink is nourishing and invigorating!
 
I think the best is to go to Bugis, Albert Centre market and buy all those items. Dried red dates (they are fresher), Longan, wolfberries. If you are doing ur own confinement, they sell those herbs for bathing and stuff.

1 stop station and so many different stalls to choose from.

I make Longan, red dates and wolfberries tea even before I got pregnant, I just dump everything inside a thermo flash and pour hot water, immersed it for maybe 2-3 hrs and its good to go. its the lazy way la, my mum also did this when she was preparing confinement for my sis.
