　　Sea Lavender

　　On the hillsides around Kuytun, every summer the colorful wildflowers that spread as far as the eye can see are sea lavender. Also called yellow horned poppy or golden spoonleaf herb, ancient medical texts note that it has medicinal properties, including pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and blood enrichment. It is used to treat neuralgia, scanty menstruation, tinnitus, insufficient breast milk, and colds; externally it can relieve toothache and treat boils, abscesses, and other skin conditions.
