Healthy body with METTA TONIC

Health is a necessity - something we cannot afford to be without! It's better to lose our car or our house, but not our health! If we have health, we can always earn more money.

Good and poor health is determined at the level of the trillions of cells making up the human body. You can begin right now! It all starts at the cellular level. If every cell in your body is protected, nourished and communicating, they will build healthy tissues, which in turn will build healthy organs and you will have a healthier body to live in.

Day 0



Day 7


Cleaning enzyme
10 parts water1 part brown sugar (don't use white sugar)
3 parts kitchen waste (best with citrus peel, apple skins, papaya skins, pineapple flesh, cucumber peel, tomatoes, pandan leaves, dragon fruit skins)
1 plastic air tight container (don't use glass container)

Mix water and sugar. This should fill up the container up to about 60%. Cut the kitchen waste and add to the mixture. This should fill the container up to about 80%. Stir and close. Keep away from sunlight for 3 months.

For the first month, you need to stir and release the gas (product of the fermentation process) on a daily basis. When you open the container, you will hear the Psst sound (after a few days or so). You continue to open the container once a day until you don't hear the psst sound anymore. (This gas buildup is the reason you don't use glass container).

After 3 months, the ideal color should be dark brown. If it turns black, add more sugar and let it ferment a little longer.

I hope you enjoy it as well....
