Wild Dendrobium

Wild Dendrobium

　　Wild Dendrobium: Also known as "hanging orchid," it is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Orchidaceae family. It grows on cliffs, steep mountain ridges, and in crevices between rocks. Due to the special growing conditions and limited distribution of wild Dendrobium, along with long-term overharvesting, its natural resources are nearing depletion. In 1987, the State Council of China listed Dendrobium as one of the key protected traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that it has miraculous effects such as nourishing yin and enhancing vitality, strengthening the stomach, regulating gastric qi, building muscle, calming the mind and dispelling fright, and prolonging life. The polysaccharides contained in Dendrobium can significantly enhance T-cell immune function in cancer patients and boost human immunity.
