艾草汤

艾草（学名：Artemisia argyi）是一种多年生草本植物，分布于亚洲及欧洲地区。在诗经时代，就已经是很重要的民生植物。一般用於針灸術的“灸”。所謂針灸其實分成兩個部份。“針”就是拿針刺穴道，而“灸”就是拿艾草點燃之後去薰、燙穴道，穴道受熱固然有刺激，但並不是任何紙或草點燃了都能做為“灸”使用。艾草的氣味肯定也同時發揮了一定的作用。中國民間用拔火罐的方法治療風濕病時，以艾草作為燃料效果更佳。亦會在端午的時候插於門口以避邪。

Today went to the big market and saw this during my marketing... * HAPPY* coz not many place will sell this... as not many ppl know how to cook / appreciate it. Since i haven't decided what soup to cook :) i grabbed a brunch of it. Grew up drinkng this soup. Mum/granny will brew this soup with old mother hen. But i didn't managed to get it so i used the boney parts i bought from a whole chicken..

* Please wash it @ least 4 times to get rid of the sand particles in it. You won't want to waste your pot of soup.

Since am not gg to eat the meat... i used the boney parts from the whole chicken picking out the parts that had lesser meat so that i dun have to spend extra on the bones.

3hrs later :) Hot soup in the pot
