KUALA LUMPUR:
The pursuit for “protection” against the novel coronavirus has led to some Malaysians seeking traditional remedies at Chinese medicine shops.

These consumers would look for herbs like chrysanthemum, gam chou (liquorice) and other types of herbal tea such as lor hon kor, hoping these could be of help to them.
