Street cart packed with natural health and beauty....

The beautiful lotus is a magical plant for your health with literally every part being used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or as delicious health foods.

I came across this street vendor next to Tuanjiehu subway in Beijing last week selling lotus flowers, stems, seeds and roots. The flowers are for beauty and dried for healthy, delicious herbal teas. The lotus stems, seeds and roots are popular since ancient times for healthy nutrition and a large variety of health benefits used in TCM.

Food is your health care, food is your medicine !
