This is one I bet no American readers have heard of before. I have very close and dear friends from Taiwan who often share their culture with me. On one occasion, I was experiencing an upset tummy and was very quickly handed a strange pill called Seirogan. I took it as I totally trust my friends. It seemed to calm my tummy down but didn't alleviate the problem completely. When I was ready to leave, my friend Pao asked if I would like more. I graciously accepted and took the little bottle home.
