五味子

The Schizandra fruit has a sweet, salty, bitter, hot and sour taste. It has long been used in the traditional medicines for a wide variety of conditions including Asthma, Coughs, and other Respiratory ailments, especially dry cough. It has a pronounced anti-hepatotoxic (liver-protection) action in many researches.

Yesterday went to buy more 五味子from the chinese medical hall next block, instead of buy 1-2 俩each time, i told the boss i wanna buy 1 packet. Then he said he doesnt have so much, most he has is 1斤, then after weighing, he said will he sell me 1/2 kg instead...:D....1/2 kg of the 五味子cost me only $8....cheap cheap....
