Therapeutic Orchid notes:

Dendrobium eriiflorum Griff.
Dendrobium eriiflorum Griff. is an orchid used in traditional herbal medicine. Its dried powdered pseudobulb serves as a tonic, and a paste made from the orchid is applied to heal fractures and dislocations in Nepal. It's notable that although D. eriiflorum was among 21 samples of Herba Dendrobii collected, it's not listed as shihu in standard Chinese herbal medicine terminology. |
