The Soup Queen

I have been drinking Ba Zhen Tang twice a week now for about 6 weeks. ( See my previous post ) When I say twice a week, it's not that I boil Ba Zhen twice a week.

My scalp would itch and sweat so that was also a reminder to wash my hair. I tried a few shampoos - from the expensive L'Occittane (which did nothing spectacular despite the price tag of RM80) to the commercial supermarket Rejoice (it gave me a clean scalp BUT I kept
