Wuzhimaotao (hairy fig, Ficus hirta) is a commonly used health food.

Wuzhimaotao, commonly known as wild loquat, tubeiqi, five-claw dragon and so on, is a small shrub or small tree. It grows 2-8 m tall, has milky sap, and its root bark is fragrant; the stems, leaves and fruits are all covered with stiff hairs, and the leaves are lobed like a hand. It mostly grows on open hillsides, in valleys, beside water or in thickets. The main part used is the root, and it is a plant with fairly good medicinal value. Its nature and flavour are pungent, sweet and neutral, and it has the effects of tonifying qi and replenishing deficiency, moving qi and relieving depression, strengthening the sinews and activating the collaterals, fortifying the spleen and resolving dampness, and relieving cough and transforming phlegm. It has now been developed into a green food for health-preserving dietary therapy, and has been made into soup bases and tonic wine. To cultivate one mu of Wuzhimaotao by hand takes two years, and the yield can reach as high as 7000 jin/mu. Once this project is developed, it can achieve the protection and cultivation of distinctive resources, develop the local distinctive economy, and can also improve environmental conditions and reduce pollution.
