Yanyang Grass

Yanyang Grass

　　Commonly known as Life Grass, it is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Orchidaceae family. It has two notable characteristics: first, this type of medicinal herb can have a life-saving effect on certain human diseases; second, the herb itself is an "immortal grass" with exceptional vitality—even if it withers for dozens of days, it will revive upon contact with water. It grows at altitudes above 1,000 meters in the border area between Shennongjia and Wuxia, on nanmu bamboo, tujing, and fir trees. It has effects such as delaying aging, combating fatigue, enhancing memory, promoting saliva and body fluids, nourishing yin and benefiting kidneys, strengthening muscles and bones, and prolonging life.
