This image is the advertisement for cooking lessons offered by Hong Kong's Towngas (the one and only gas supply company in Hong Kong, which runs some cooking classes as a side-line activity).
I noticed that the contents of the cooking lessons include "Tin Mah and fishhead soup with crysanthemum". I've put an arrow near it in the image.
I'm not sure if you can see it clearly. If you can, you should recognize the first two Chinese characters "Tin Mah", which I've shown in one of my earlier posts. (In my post, I presented the two words vertically whereas here, the words are given horizontally, from left to right. Chinese sentences can be written vertically or horizontally.)
I also mentioned earlier that Tin Mah and fishhead are the two essential ingredients of the soup; and that there may be variations on other accompanying ingredients. In this particular case (cooking class offered by Towngas), they use chrysanthemum flower (which is often used for making tea and occasionally for dishes in Chinese cuisine).
Such an advertisement demonstrates what I have said before, that fishhead soup with Tin Mah is quite well known amongst Chinese people. It can be eaten as an ordinary cuisine or for its therapeutic value. And since I have benefited from its effect in removing my severe pain from TN, I have no hesititation in sharing information about it on the web, with the hope that some other TN patients can benefit from it too.
For nearly a month now, I've not suffered any significant pain.
Was it really the fishhead soup which cured me? Scientifically I cannot prove it; thus I cannot say I'm 100% sure. But I feel 99.9% sure.
Having had the kind of horrible pain experienced about a month ago, I don't think I'll ever forget that I'm a TN patient. I will always be aware of the possibility that the pain may come back anytime.
Somehow I feel that the fishhead soup may not permanently cure the root of the illness. Thus I will keep on being vigilant. In fact, I'm trying another Chinese traditional treatment, with the hope that it will improve my physique basically, thus minimizing the chance of the pain's return. I'll talk about that later.
