Nutritional Benefits

The Chinese medicinal herb Dendrobium is the stem of various orchid plants, which has good effects of nourishing yin and promoting body fluid. The original plants of Dendrobium mostly grow in the cracks of rocks on cliffs, or parasitize on tree trunks deep in dense forests, and the yield in natural environments is very small.

Dendrobium was once listed as a "magic grass" along with Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and Cordyceps sinensis. However, it must be noted that Dendrobium has a slightly cold and greasy nature, and can restrain evil spirits, hinder the pathogenic factors inside the human body from being vented outwards, and can also help dampness to produce phlegm and heat. It can only be used by people with yin deficiency and dryness and heat caused by fever, overwork, old age, etc. People who usually have dampness and heat, phlegm, obesity or a preference for fatty and sweet food, as well as patients with colds, diarrhea, edema, jaundice, boils, leucorrhea, etc. should not take Dendrobium.

Dendrobium is a medicinal material that is relatively resistant to cooking. If you flatten fresh Dendrobium, mucus will come out, which is the essence of Dendrobium. It is best to crush fresh Dendrobium when making soup, or even mash it with water. ”
