PHNOM PENH, June 18 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Cambodia's top consumer protection agency destroyed nearly 30, 000 bottles of dong quai wine with high methanol content in Banteay Meanchey province’s Poipet town, where seven died after consuming the tainted hooch.
Dong quai, also known as female ginseng or by its botanical name Angelica sinensis, is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine which, according to Australian naturopathic clinician Angela Hywood, is used to regulate menstrual cycles and is overall regarded as a “female reproductive tonic”.
