Unknown to many in this generation, one of the most recommended TCM herbal soups back in the days is the black chicken soup. It’s flavourful, nutritious, and accessible here at Ser Seng. More popular now for its distinct colour, you’ll be surprised how beneficial black chicken soup is for cough.

What makes black chicken herbal soup the best natural remedy for cough?
