Mien shiang is an ancient Taoist practice that literally means face (mien) reading (shiang). Mien shiang allows us to observe many
features of the face and determine certain personality traits about the person being observed. The ancient Taoists thought that the past
was recorded on the face, so, if you know what to look for, you can tell a lot about a person and what they have been through by simply
looking at their face.
The art of mien shiang should not be confused with reading people's facial expressions however, as those can be controlled as we all know
when we refer to someone who has a good "poker face."

A: The most famous supplement used for ulcer disease is a special form of licorice known as deglycyrrhizinated licorice
(DGL). Rhubarb and aloe have been suggested as treatments for bleeding ulcers. However, this condition is sufficiently dangerous that conventional
medical treatment is far more appropriate.
Highly preliminary studies suggest that various bioflavonoids can inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori. All fruits and vegetables provide bioflavonoids,
but these substances can also be taken as supplements.
