Chinese herbs

I am taking some Chinese herbs lately (daily for 15 days),
these are the "ingrediants".
.
.
Taste bitter and sour, the smell drives hubby out to his garden!!!

.
.
.
I know only some of them,
they are gancao 甘草 - the long stick,
chuanhonghua 川红花 - the red flower petals,
shouwu 首乌 - the black thingy,
& binlang 槟榔 - buah pinang, the supposed-round flat patterned thing.
.
.
.
How it looks after brewing from 4 bowls of water to 1 bowl.

Seived and now waiting for it to cool down a bit before drinking.
