Its name comes from the concept of “opening the way” (khai lo), which means clearing the “garbage” in the body before replenishing.

With a modern lifestyle, many people are sedentary and sit for long periods of time, making it easy for the body to accumulate dampness, leading to poor circulation of blood and a state of “emptiness without replenishment.” By drinking Khai Lo Thang, the body is purified of the dampness accumulated inside, helping the nutritional replenishment process to take place more effectively. Thanks to that, the body can absorb nutrients better, while avoiding bad reactions such as internal heat or stagnation.

The ingredients are relatively simple:

Green onions (including roots), ginger and radish peel (can add tangerine peel if there is phlegm). Add all the ingredients to water and cook over high heat, boil for a few more minutes. When drinking the soup, you can also eat the radish peel and the white of the green onion.

Respiratory infections are more common this year so the whole family, young and old, should take it for a few days.
