The efficacy and function of Hosta

In ancient times, there was a description of the hosta flower like this: "The fairies in the Jade Pool feasted on the flowing clouds, and when they were drunk, they left their hairpins behind and it turned into flowers. The rich fragrance of mountain musk was blown to your home by the wind." In people's eyes, the hosta flower got its name from its resemblance to a woman's hairpin, and it is a close friend of people. The ancients also had records of its efficacy.

When you have a toothache, place them on the painful area. After taking two or three pills, the pain will disappear.
