In this age when all people talk about health care, everyone is a "health care expert"; Some flowers and plants in rural areas, some plants that are usually eaten by pigs and trampled by cows, are immediately remembered and sought after by many people as long as they are said by health experts.
In fact, the efficacy of rural herbs, the older generation of farmers who know some rural folk remedies, the effect is still quite good. I just don't publicize it vigorously, just use it for myself or share it with friends and family.
And some common methods of treating diseases and healing of these rural people have become sacred objects in the hearts of ordinary people through the trickle of experts, and some curative effects have been immediately amplified and mythologized. This is called the "expert" effect. Moreover, every herb in rural areas has its own efficacy and pharmacological characteristics. It's not because people say that it can cure diseases, but because of people's physique, dosage and time. Some people have an effect as soon as they use it, while others have a slow or no effect.
Today, let's talk about mulberry leaves that everyone is familiar with! Speaking of mulberry leaves, we will unconsciously think of silkworm babies and unconsciously sing the famous phrase "Spring silkworms die, candles turn to dust, tears begin to dry", and then we will realize the true meaning of life!
In the past, mulberry leaves were generally used to feed silkworm babies and pigs in rural areas, but their added value was not developed and utilized. They were left in rural areas to fend for themselves. Now, experts on TV and on the Internet are tirelessly talking about the benefits of mulberry leaves. Some unknown functions have been put on the table and gradually accepted by the public. Some merchants have also explored some business opportunities, selling mulberry leaves to people who believe in health preservation, and finding another way to make the best use of them.
