In Chinese Medicine. What is cow bezoar?

Answer 1

Answer 2

STONE/STOMACH  INSIDE A COW :)

Answer 3

According to a website, it CLAIMS it does  this:

Action:

Helps to drain heat & fire from the stomach, cool blood and nourish Yin . It also regulates qi(energy), nourishes the blood and strengthens the spleen, clears stagnant heat from the stomach.

Helps to replenish the vital energy and the blood, relieve muscular spasm and tranquilize the mind, eliminate sputum and stop the wind.

Reality: You might seriously want to talk with your doctor before taking this stuff. I am a huge believer in Chinese medicine, but you must be careful. Find a Asian section of your city and visit one of these Chinese or Asian Medical shops. You might get lucky and speak with a good english speaker. Ask them about any side effects and proper dosage. Research it online and again, consulting your doctor is probably a wise idea, too.

Answer 4

Ox gallstone.

Like most of Chinese medicine, especially the products that come from animals, it is quite useless.
