Is edelweiss useful for poor sleep?

There is a special place in the mountains of Japan, where women are generally young in appearance, and the incidence of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia in the elderly is almost zero. It is found that this is because the local people there will eat a unique variety called edelweiss. In recent ten years, local people have eaten it as white truffle.

Later, the medicinal value of snow-white velvet was developed and it was called "white diamond" in Japan. It is a rare mushroom food in the world, which is only produced in Japan, so the price on the market is relatively high. At present, all the marketing forms of edelweiss are health care drugs, not direct use. There is no planting and agent of edelweiss in China. All sales forms are unified overseas direct mail.

So what is the value of such a rare edelweiss?
