Women with caterpillar fungus
Uyghur women in Xinjiang hold dry caterpillar fungus (ๅฌ่ซๅค่ dลngchรณngxiร cวo), also known as yartsa gunbu and Himalayan Viagra. Many people in China believe that it is an aphrodisiac and can prevent cancer. However, a recent report published by Cell Chemical Biology concluded that the fungus doesnโt have any anti-carcinogenic properties.
