A Life Far Removed from Durian Trees

I kid you not! While I was at Al-Shifaa, I couldn't resist buying something for myself. According to the brochure: Magic octopus cream for locale weight losing (YER 600=USD 2) This cream is made of the black seed, peppermint, mustard and other natural materials that are ideal remedies for removing fats from the body. In combination with a special soap: Al-Anaqah soap 4-in-1 (YER 200=USD 1) The first soap of its kind that combines between chest tightening and skin flabbiness. It also whitens and disinfects the skin. Directions for use: During evening shower, use the soap and lather up in target areas such as belly and chest. Leave for a couple of minutes. Rinse off. Massage in the cream in target areas. Repeat every evening. Updated brochure below. These products are locally made, from natural ingredients.

Mum & Dad have asked me to buy any medicines/oils/toiletries with habbat-us-sauda (black cumin) in it. Found this brochure while I was cleaning out my office. Perfect timing! I know where to go. It's a chain of shops that sell honey, oud (incense), bukhoor (perfume), and traditional ointments and creams.
