@algancao – On Mulberry Leaves ‘n Roots

@Pihoqahiaq Silk moths inspired Chinese to look to their key food source, the mulberry tree, as a source of medicinal products.

Silk moths create a white, metallic substance. White and metal are associated with autumn and Lungs in Chinese medical (5 phase) theory.

Hence, there must be something in Sang Ye (mulberry leaves) that is good for the Lungs. Mulberry’s root bark (sang bai pi) is white too.
