Did You Have to Insult People With Your Joke?

Professor Chen did not reject Tang Beibei's idea of planting some medicinal herbs at home and suggested a few more Chinese herbal medicine.
Clove, mugwort, white angelica root, perilla leaves and mint.
When these were dried, mixed together and made into scented sachets, they could be hung on the body to ward off mosquitos in the summer.
Ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, poria mushrooms, licorice, female ginseng, and a dozen more herbs. Some of them need to be specially purchased, but all of them could be used to make soups that regulate the body.
Professor Chen was very chatty when he talked about these. He could talk non-stop about every Chinese medicinal herb or plant that was brought up.
There were thousands of medicines in TCM. The hardy wildflowers and weeds that we saw every day could very well have medicinal properties.
