It's not really Chinese medicine if it's sweet.  ;)

Is that the medical term for "choking"?

My favorite medical term is external occipital protuberance.

When Coca Cola was first invented in the early 1900's, it actually had cocaine in it.

It works sometimes at relieving esophageal obstruction.

Interesting read, Artkho :)

I remember hearing or reading somewhere that Coke was originally intended to be a medicinal drink. It does cure underweight, I guess...
