GEORGE TOWN: The surge in Covid-19 cases coupled with the ongoing hot weather have driven up sales of herbal tea and the “qingfei paidu” decoction in particular.
Qingfei paidu literally means lung-cleansing and detoxifying in Mandarin while decoction is the concentrated liquid that is produced from boiling herbs, especially for medicinal purposes.
