UMHB: Chapter 2 - Cleansing system

Please refer to Disclaimer for some information.

Metabolism activities is going on inside human body every single second. Similarly, 'rubbish' [MK: Hmm I cannot recall the appropriate scientific term, it means unwanted item] is being generated every moment. When human body energy supply system not working well, organ functionality goes down, the meridian system will be impacted too. Weak organ will caused blockage in its respective meridian system, while the blockage will then have negative impact on the organ functionality, which is a vicious cycle.

When one is young, there is enough Blood Qi, the cleansing system is able to work fine, thus no dark spot, wrinkle and obesity. When one grow with the age, very commonly Blood Qi will dropped, and thus fatter, more dark spot.

A lot of TCM treatment via meridian system is to help human body to do cleansing job. As long as the cleansing system is working well with enough Blood Qi supply, one will stay young and healthy.

Cleansing system consists of few operation e.g. blood cleansing in liver and kidney, lung cleaning breath-in air, motion, sweat and etc. Heart, spleen and meridian system is playing role in transporting the rubbish to be clear from human body. Most of the organs are involved in cleansing operation.

Queens Park, KL

Do you ever know there are Espirit outlet in Kuala Lumpur? As I was told, there are two of them, one at Maju Junction, one at Queens Park. You may find cheaper Esprit item at these outlet, of course, not the latest fashion.



In my eyes, Queens Park is similar concept as US factory outlet store.There are other shops like Baskin Robin, Starbucks, Sushi King, DKNY and other shop sell travel item like luggage, uniforms, design house, saloon, boutique and etc. M'ng moved out. Anyway, I am not a shopping fan, but it is nice to know there are such outlet store in Malaysia too :)







The address:
Lot 392, Jln. Peel
Kuala Lumpur.
Open 9am-6pm (not sure if all shops are open daily)

UMHB: Chapter 2 - Diagnosis and maintenance system

Please refer to Disclaimer for some information.

When we cut our hand or leg, the doctor will apply spirit and antiseptic gel/liquid. These are just to prevent inflammation. All other recovery work and cell regeneration are done by human body itself. This applies to external cut and also internal healing. These recovery and regeneration operations come with human body in nature, which we will then not paying attention to. But if we think about it in more details, these are complicated operations!

First, human body need to diagnose the wound location and its severity, then take appropriate operation, compose the the dead cells become wound to cover the cut, to protect human body. Then new cell will grown and the wound will disappear. The whole operation will consume a lot of energy like Blood Qi.

When human body has enough energy supply, these maintenance and recovery work will goes on daily. But if there is not enough of energy, it will be selective to perform critical repair work only. TCM focus on human body self recover ability, and most treatment are meant to increase human body energy level, to enable recovery and maintenance work.

During wound recovery, maybe the wound will swollen or has other sign of inflammation. Similarly, during organ recovery, there will be symptom e.g. cough, phlegm, tired and etc. In TCM, human body is very intelligent, and these symptoms are caused by recovery work, thus its treatment is usually helping out the recovery function. Whereas in western medication, it treat symptoms as human body fault and try to stop all the symptoms.

Since we went in big group, it is always wiser to make reservation beforehand :) Let's look at the food :D


Roasted duck/goose is very nice.


Grill food corner. It is around 2pm and the chef can relax for a while. The queue was pretty long before that ;) The grill lamb is pretty nice, but I felt if will be even better if more moisture.


Fried noodle, fried food corner. The char koay teow is quite big in portion. We didn't order it :p We rather go for hawker center char koay teow instead :p


Some main course, e.g. rice, fried noodle, stir fried vegetables, chicken, meat and etc.


Salad corner. You may get the mint sauce to go together with the lamb here.


Japanese corner. Can you see the roe and different kind of Japanese style pickel? Hehe.


Raw food and Sashimi corner. Salmon, oyster, baby lobster, prawn, scallop (all gone, I did not know there was fresh scallop until my colleauge told me the next day)


Fondue, if I was not full, I will get some fresh fruit and dip it into chocolate fondue. If you are marshmallow fans, this could be your favourite counter :)


Ais kacang corner.

Dessert corner. No tiramisu :p Suprisingly they served Chinese style herbal gel 龟苓膏。


Bread corner.


Soup corner. I like its herbal soup :D
