After studying, an American scholar sighed: "Here, I finally understand what 'medicine and food have the same origin, and heaven and man are one'. The monks used honey to release the medicinal properties of Sophora flavescens slowly, which was two thousand years earlier than the FDA's slow-release technology." When they left, they left a sentence: "'Is there anything on your mind?' This question is the most important lesson that modern medicine should learn."
