The Dendrobium officinale grows best in the Huoshan area of ​​​​my country. So how do you eat fresh Dendrobium officinale?

Fresh Dendrobium officinale retains its natural essence to the greatest extent. Modern medicine has proven that fresh consumption can clear away heat, nourish yin, and promote salivation.
