Yi tiao gen 一條根, also written yitiaogen, means "one strand of root". It is the plant root most closely linked with Kinmen 金門, an island county of Taiwan. In Singapore you can buy it as patches, creams and rollers at Authentic Taiwan 台灣優品, in our Beauty World Centre shop or online.

一條根是金門代表性的植物根部特產。在新加坡，可以到 Beauty World Centre 的台灣優品門市或官網選購貼布、精油霜與滾珠等產品。

Why is it called yi tiao gen? 名字的由來

The name comes from the plant's single long main root, about as thick as a finger, which grows straight down. Kinmen's official tourism site lists it among the island's local souvenirs, usually as an ointment or patches. More than one plant is sold under this name; in Kinmen it is mainly 闊葉大豆 (Glycine tomentella).

這種植物有一條直直往下長、粗如手指的主根，因此得名。金門觀光網站也把它列為當地伴手禮，常見形式是藥膏與貼布。市面上以「一條根」為名的植物不只一種，金門主要是闊葉大豆。

  • Cream 精油霜: for home massage. Formulas blend yi tiao gen with essential oils such as peppermint and eucalyptus, so expect a minty scent. 適合在家按摩，配方含薄荷、尤加利等精油，帶清涼草本香氣。
