Substitute herb for Cibotium barometz

Cibotium barometz, the golden chicken fern or woolly fern, is a species of tree fern native to parts of China and to the western part of the Malay Peninsula. The fern's woolly rhizome was thought to be the inspiration for the mythical "Vegetable Lamb of Tartary". Although it is widely distributed, the plant has been extensively collected in Southeast Asia, causing the decline in the population size and number of individuals. In this episode Rose Chen explains the medicinal uses of Cibotium barometz, and its alternative herbs.
