It's at EYS, Their pdts are more genuine (coz many medical halls sell fake Chinese med without even knowing it, many black-heart merchants in China)
Yes it used to be $280 per box. You mean you saw it being sold for $1000? :yikes: Wow! Where did you see it?thebusybee:
The price really gone rocket high over e yrs.
I remembered when I was pregnant in 2007, it was only $200+ per Tael =37.5gram. Then throughout e 10 months it went up to $500. A year later it's $1000. Now I think nearly 2k? I should have bought more and invest haha.
The most expensive ones are the 'wild' ones, from Tibet éęµ· I think. The ones I bot are from Nepal, I think they are cultured, hence price half of Tibet's.
The staff from EYS told me if child has phlegm n cough, just double boil 4-5 pcs with 1 bowl water for 2 hrs will do. Adding meat will be too strong for toddlers. -

Augmum:
