My mother-in-Law tells me that soup (in particular tahana soup) encourages milk production in breast feeding women!!! There really is a soup for everything here.

There is a serious side to this......I had a persistent cough and I was recommended to go to one of the spice shops in the old market and he gave me a mix of Cinnamon Ginger Cloves Ginseng root and linden flowers from which you make an infusion. Drunk in Turkish Tea glasses with a spoonful of honey as many as you want.......Cough went in a couple of days. Can't prove it was the herbal mix but the cough did go.[?] :)

Mummy says to little Mehmet 'Come on, eat your soup; it will make you feel better!' to which he replies 'What a load of tripe!'

ah, this is were the wize villagers of Uzumlu come into their own ! We have herbs for everything up in them there mountains ! At Easter our daughter was feeling poorly, and our turkish neighbours disappeared and within an hour returned with several bunches of different sorts of herbs gathered from their gardens and the hills .
(they also arrived with wild asparagas and morelles for breakie.....ummmmm).

I was given a remedy for an upset tummy ie tummy pains and/or Diahroea and it works
Take a teaspoon of Turkish coffee and pop it in the mouth, then add half a teaspoon of sugar in the mouth, Now swallow. I know it sounds daft but it worked on me. :)

Would anyone know of some herbs or a herbal or natural product for the menopause please in Turkey, and also for anxiety (which I believe is linked to my menopausal probs!) I really wanted to ask someone last week when we were in Calis but because of the language barrier I could not pluck up the courage. I am desperate to try something as I am having to come off my prescribed medication cos of high blood pressure.
I would be really really grateful for any suggestions.
