Gobo Wei Shan (Dioscorea) - Also known as the Chinese yam, dioscorea has been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Although there are approximately 800 different species of dioscorea, the Chinese yam is native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Some of it's medicinal properties include aiding in weight loss, helps digestion, soothes cough, anti cancer abilities etc. For example if you cook the dioscorea with lean pork, it helps make the skin translucent & glowing with health.
Point to take note when handling the 'wei shan' is to wear gloves as the 'sap like' liquid within it is prone to cause skin irritation.
