[38/365] Chinese medicine

There seems to be a craze about how good goji berries are for you that came out of nowhere. They're supposed to enhance immune system function, help eyesight, protect the liver, boost sperm production, and improve circulation, among other effects. They're pretty overpriced at heath stores here. We've been ingesting them for as long as I can remember though and we even grow them in our garden in the summer.

Luo han guo is another popular aid used in Chinese medicine. It's used as an expectorant, antitussive, and believed to help in longevity.
