We visited an herbal farm run by a clan/family cooperative while learning about China’s GAPs (good agricultural practices). They specialize in medicinal herbs. The planting season is just beginning in Anguo – it is a northern climate and still quite cool here.
This is a farmer harvesting Tian hua fen (Radix Trichosanthis) It is a handy root with anti-tumor and antibacterial properties. It dissolves phlegm - making it useful for cough with thick phlegm and is being used in the treatment of HIV.
