Trivia
[Hardcore] The name 'Dong Quai' supposedly comes from a legend of a husband returning home with this herb for his sick wife. That 'sweet, deep medicinal smell' wafting through Taiwan night markets is usually this. Believed to nourish blood and improve circulation; a guardian spice for Taiwanese women's beauty and health.
