Question

the medicine
Hello,

I have a Chinese Medicine ( see the attached picture ) i don't know how to read it or what is it for, can you help me in knowing what is it.

Thank you

Answer
Hey Hashim,

Well the root on the front I believe is ginseng.
My best guess would be that it is some form of qi or energy tonic,
but not reading Chinese, I can't be sure.
In order to be sure you'd need to ask someone who can read Chinese.
Sorry I couldn't be of more service.

Have a Happy New Year and Be Well.
