So when I asked him what it was, he started to tell me, and the lady from the back started yelling at him, so he says.
"it's ..uh, Kung-Fu powder." and smiled, nodding his head.
great..."Kung-Fu Powder"
Anyway, anyone have any idea what herbs he might have used for something like this? It worked pretty well, and was helpful for beginners.
I'd go back to Lin's sister, but I'd feel like a jerk going in there and asking for, "Kung-Fu Powder.!":o
