Yuehtao has strong vitality, growing even in harsh environments, and can be found on cliffs and by the sea. Its entire plant has value for creation and utilization, much like Taiwanese people who take root, are intelligent, diligent, and wise, only needing to be discovered. With the advancement of technology, CO2 supercritical extraction technology has revealed that Yuehtao contains many valuable components.
