Lei Gong Gen Tang

Lei Gong Gen Tang
Leigonggen, also known as Centella asiatica, breaks into a big bowl. Originated in India, it is now widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In my country, it is mainly distributed in provinces south of the Yangtze River. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and swelling swelling. It is said that it can also dissolve stones. Friends in Guangdong should be familiar with it. I remember when I was a child, I often went to the roadside to dig these wild vegetables and went home to make soup or boil water as herbal tea to drink. I didn't expect that I could still see this dish in China Supermarket when I came to the United States. I was surprised. Later, I learned that Vietnam people like to use it to juice and drink it.
