Autumn pear grease is a traditional medicinal drink, which is made from autumn pear and expectorant herbs. According to legend, it dates back to the Tang dynasty. Autumn pear cream used to be the exclusive medicine in the palace. It was not until the Qing dynasty when it was passed out of the palace by the imperial physician. And because it has been made with the autumn pear in the suburbs of Beijing, and sold in the capital, so it has become a traditional specialty product in Beijing.

Autumn Pear Paste can moisten the lung and relieve cough. It can also treat cough and wheezing, sticky phlegm, diaphragm and mute voice. Beijing Tong Ren Tang is famous for its Autumn Pear Paste, which is sold to both home and abroad every year, so you can go shopping or make it yourself.
