Kudzu Root Powder

The kudzu is a perennial plant. The powder made from its root contains many microelements with the efficacy to alleviate blood pressure, reduce blood fat and resist aging. It is called "dragon root of longevity".

Also known as "Stone Ear", this variety of edible fungus grows on sheer cliffs in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Its leaf-like body is grey or brown on the reverse. The nutritious "ear" is effective for allaying inflammation.
