Ways to treat chronic bronchitis

Malt sugar is also known as soft sugar, malt, malt candy, malt sugar, scientific name is maltum.

In Oriental medicine, it is called di duong or giao di, which is derived from cereals and is created through a biological fermentation process, hydrolyzing starch into sugar.

Since ancient times, people have known how to make candy from sticky rice and rice germ to use as ingredients in making confectionery and used as medicine. In Vietnam, because we do not have barley, we still use rice seeds (oryza sativa l. Var. Utilissima of the same family) to soak until they sprout and then dry them, called coc nha. Recently, we have imported barley seeds to grow to make beer, but it is not enough for use.
