There is a gap in the righteousness, and it is easy for evil to invade and induce heat stroke. In ancient times when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, doctors scientifically used the medicinal diet of Cao Kueh made by decoction and processing of fairy grass to improve the body's immune function and prevent heatstroke.
