Banlangen --- wikipedia

Indigowoad Root
(Chinese: ; pinyin: bǎn l?n gēn) is a traditional Chinese medicine herb that comes from the roots of woad. Literature on traditional Chinese medicine uses the scientific name Isatis indigotica, although this name is usually considered synonymous with Isatis tinctoria by botanists. It is also known as Radix isatidis. The herb is cultivated in various regions of northern China, namely Hebei, Beijing, Heilongjiang, Henan, Jiangsu, and Gansu. The roots are harvested during the autumn and dried. The dried root is then processed into granules, which are most commonly consumed dissolved in hot water or tea. The product is very popular throughout China. Possible minor side effects include allergic reactions and dizziness; only large dosages or long term usage can be toxic to the kidneys. . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed<object style="position:absolute;z-index:1000" type="application/x-dgnria" id="plugin0" height="0" width="0">
