Medicinal Plants grown at the Sun Moon Lake


The forests at the Sun-Moon Lake are treasures with many plants that have medicinal values. One of them is Kim-Kao-Mou (金狗毛). It belongs to fern category. Its roots are lumpy and hairy. The hairs on the root lumps can stop bleeding should those hairs be applied to the wound surface.
