Wild natural Dendrobium is naturally the first choice, but for our general home diet therapy, artificial one is also acceptable. If you want to buy good Dendrobium, you have to be careful about choosing the store. If you want to use it as a medicinal material, it is best to buy it at a Chinese medicine store, because Dendrobium is a relatively common Chinese medicine and is available in general Chinese medicine stores. If you want to buy better quality Dendrobium, choose a specialized shop. Now there are such shops specializing in Dendrobium in many places.

Learn to smell the scent of Dendrobium. Dendrobium, a plant of the orchid family, always emits a faint fragrance when it blooms. When choosing Dendrobium, be careful to choose those with stronger flavors. The stronger the flavor, the better. If you smell it up close, it has a light grassy sweetness but no grassy smell. When you chew it slowly, it has a sweet and sticky aftertaste. If you spit out the residue, you will find that the high-quality maple syrup is so thick that it can even stick to your fingers without falling off.
