Hello Asmita!
It's your SJ mentor.
Warm greetings from Korea!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful report with us.
I have been looking forward to your informative news.
I could find the scientific name of Bojho which is Acorus calamus.
It is distributed in Korea we called it as 'changpo'.
Traditionally we used this when we wash one's hair.
It is good to know more about plants.
Hope things are fine with you.
Green cheers!
Best regards,
SJ mentor.

Hello Asmita,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea.
So here is your first report about medicinal herbs!
I searched for its name in Korean, but still it is bit unfamiliar to me.
Therefore I am excited that I can learn many things here!
It would be more informative if you tell us the process showing how the plant is used for cough in real life too.
And thank you for including its contraindications as well.
Green cheers!
Regards,
Woojoo
