Pang da hai

Pang da hai is a Chinese medicine that is good for sore throats. I have lost my voice completely twice while teaching. On the second occasion I was in Taipei and I was sent to a Chinese pharmacy to get pang da hai. If you add 4 of the pods to a glass and add boiling water it will make a sort of tea. This will help to restore ailing throats. I used to carry some pang da hai whenever I was teaching. Losing your voice is an occupational hazard and this will help you retain your voice.

  2. Then go and get some pang da hai...it really does work. The Cantonese name is slightly different. I live in NT and my feeble Putonghua is good enough to get what I want.
