Enzymes are extremely important to our health. Without the presence of the enzymes, our cells will be destroyed or die out quickly.

- When selecting for the Hawthorns, take note that they are in a good condition but not in a spoiled or moldy condition. Rinse them thoroughly before drying them up. The Hawthorns should cut into half to enable its nutrients mix easily with other food ingredients.
