What are the wild Chinese herbs in your village? Do you know each other?

There are not only many ordinary flowers and grasses in the countryside, but if you pay a little attention, you will notice that those seemingly ordinary plants on the side of the road are actually Chinese herbal medicines, and it will be a pity if you miss them. So, what are the wild Chinese herbs in the countryside? There are the following three kinds of acquaintances, namely cow tendon grass, Xanthium fungus, and Prunella vulgaris.

This grass is distributed almost all over the world, especially on the roadside in the countryside, and was not taken seriously before, and its medicinal value has only been discovered in recent years. It has the effect of dispersing stasis and stopping bleeding, dispelling wind and dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying, many people use it to feed cattle and sheep, thinking that it is a good pasture, but in fact it can also be used as a medicinal herb for human consumption. When used externally, it can also be used for traumatic bleeding and bruises, as well as dog bites and other diseases.

Xanthella is a plant that I believe is no stranger to my friends, and it can often be seen on the roadside in the countryside. Many children like to pick some Xanthium as a small toy to spoof their friends, which is a kind of weed in many people's childhood memories. It can also be called "Lao Cangzi", "Sheep Belt Return", etc., it tastes a little bitter, and if you want to use it in medicine, you must first concoct it, and fry it until it is yellow-brown before it can be used as medicine.

It mainly has the effect of wind-chill headache, rubella itching and wind dissipation and dampness. <>

This herb can often be seen on the way to school when I was a child, it is purple in color when it blooms, and its medicinal part is its fruit spike, and it can also be called "wheat summer wither", "naidong" and so on. It mainly grows in moist grasses, such as the banks of rivers or in ravines and wetlands, and is particularly widely distributed, and can be seen in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Hunan. When prunella vulgaris is dried, it can be used together with wolfberry and angelica, which has the effect of headache, clearing heat and relieving fire, and brightening the eye.

Although these small grasses may seem very ordinary, they are very useful, as medicinal herbs, they can cure diseases; As a "pigweed", pigs can grow meat when they eat it; As a condiment, it can be cooked.

There are many Chinese herbs in my place, such as dandelion, plantain, houttuynia cordata, wormwood, bitter herb, mother-in-law, purslane, etc.

In most parts of China, it is also found in North Korea, Russia (from Siberia to the Far East), Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Kashmir, and India.

China has a vast territory, with 9.6 million square kilometers of land, and the climate between the north and the south is quite different, and the plants that grow are also different. I am from Northeast China, and I only know about the plants in the mountains in our rural Northeast China, so I will briefly introduce the valuable Chinese herbs we have here.

1. Wild ginseng - ginseng is the king of herbs, and pure wild ginseng is the most precious Chinese herbal medicine because of its rarity, which is even more rare and unattainable. As the saying goes, "seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures", and the wild ginseng at the head of the big branch can be called a priceless treasure. The largest tree excavated in China so far comes from the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

Net weight grams. According to expert analysis, the age of ginseng is 200 years old, and the valuation is more than 20 million.

Second, the ageless grass - is Changbai Mountain.

Rare medicinal plants, with their unique pharmacological effects are famous in the world. Folklore has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, moistening the intestines and laxative, strengthening the body, and prolonging life. At present, Jilin Province has listed the old grass as a class of protected plants, and it is forbidden to dig it.

In the next few years, the grass will be recuperated.

3. Wild gastrodia.

The stems of the northern gastrodia are black, while the stems of the southern gastrodia are mostly yellow, and the stalks of the southern gastrodia are superior in medicinal efficacy and edible taste. Dry goods are about 400 yuan 1 catty.

Now, we have begun to plant gastrodia in the Baishan area, in addition to selling medicinal materials, we also make silk gastrodia, chicken soup, and shabu-shabu, so that it can be used on the table and achieve both medicine and food.

Fourth, Ganoderma lucidum - Changbai Mountain wild Ganoderma lucidum because of the local cold climate, short frost-free period, long growth cycle, so its medicinal value is incomparable to the southern Ganoderma lucidum. According to the age and size, ** is 500 to 1000 yuan a catty.

5. Others such as schisandra.

Zhu Ling, Eleutherococcus senticosus.

And so on are very valuable, because it is less than 100 yuan a catty, I will not introduce them one by one.

In the south or southwest, there should be wild angelica, codonopsis, gastrodia, poria cocos, hawthorn, aconite and other Chinese medicinal materials on the mountains of the countryside can be mined.

Digging wild gastrodia in the mountains is a way for people in the mountains to make money very early, and some people who are experienced in digging wild gastrodia can dig a few catties in a nest if they are lucky, and sometimes they can dig more than a dozen catties a day. Wild gastrodia is a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine, often used in headache dizziness, limb numbness and children's convulsions, epilepsy and other symptoms, in daily life, some people take it to make medicinal wine, stewed soup. Wild gastrodia is becoming less and less, generally about 200-500 yuan a kilogram, if you buy real wild gastrodia in the pharmacy, some will cost thousands of yuan a kilogram.

The countryside is rich in land and resources, and there are many rich resources and precious medicinal materials in the mountains, especially these kinds of medicines in the countryside. Its root can be sold for money, it is a very good traditional Chinese medicine, Bupleurum is also called ground smoke, mountain vegetable or chai Cai.

From the perspective that herbs are medicines, all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines can be seen everywhere in some mountains where the natural ecological environment is well preserved in rural areas. But when it comes to valuable Chinese herbs, it's not necessarily easy to find. Rare is expensive, and most of the valuable Chinese herbal medicines are rare and rare.

So, what are the valuable Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains in the countryside at present?How can I tell?Let me tell you about it

1. Wild dendrobium

Wild Dendrobium grows mainly in moist places in the mountains, such as on shady rocky cliffs, dense and moist trunks or branches of old trees. Due to the high and steep places where wild dendrobium grows, it is difficult and dangerous to go up the mountain to collect dendrobium. At present, there are fewer and fewer wild dendrobiums, and it is not easy to find a wild dendrobium, and its ** natural rise, generally at 200-400 yuan a catty, dried dendrobium flowers.

It is even more expensive, and some reach 4,000 yuan a catty.

2. Wild notoginseng

Panax notoginseng, especially Panax notoginseng in Yunnan, has always been more famous in China, and its medicinal effects have always been respected. Qing Dynasty pharmaceutical work "Compendium of Materia Medica".

It was once said that Panax notoginseng was the first to replenish blood and was one of the most precious drugs in traditional Chinese medicine. As a valuable medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, wild notoginseng is sold for thousands of yuan a catty.

3, He Shou Wu

I remember when I was a child, the hillsides of our local countryside were full of He Shou Wu vines, climbing densely. Later, many people knew that it could be sold for money, and they went up to the mountains to dig He Shou Wu, so that now it is basically extinct in our local mountains and cannot be seen. He Shou Wu can generally be sold for tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan a catty.

4. Zhu Ling

Zhu Ling, also known as wild boar manure, pig feces, wild boar food, etc., is a kind of fungus.

Chinese herbal medicines. Don't look at the pig Ling looks black and not slippery, strange shape, its value is also very high, generally dig up to remove the sediment, after drying, ** per catty in about 80-90 yuan.

In short, in the rural mountains, valuable Chinese herbs are becoming more and more difficult to find and pick, although their ** is getting more and more expensive, but there are fewer and fewer rural medicine pickers. At present, many Chinese herbal medicines have begun to be cultivated artificially.

Plantains, honeysuckle, dandelions, houttuynia cordata, and purslane, which are not only edible, but also used to heal. It can be identified by appearance, by the way it grows, and by color.

Chinese herbal medicine is not the same in different places, and now there are no particularly precious Chinese herbal medicines in most areas, you can read some books on Chinese herbal medicine to find them.

For example, we can often see plantain, honeysuckle, wormwood, dandelion and so on. You can tell by looking at your appearance.

Herbs, Ganoderma lucidum, Schisandra chinensis, wild gastrodia, wild ginseng, these herbs are very rare and sometimes called priceless.

Goji berry, astragalus, radix radix, dandelion, ox tendon grass, these are all very valuable Chinese herbal medicines, and the medicinal properties are particularly good.

Bupleurum, Gastrodia, Zhu Ling, Houttuynia cordata, dandelion are all relatively valuable, and they can often be seen in the mountains.

What are the more valuable Chinese herbs in the mountains of the countryside?

1. Dandelion.

Dandelion is a perennial herb. Its seeds drift to new land with the wind and can grow dandelion seedlings. It has a tenacious vitality.

Dandelion is most common on hillside meadows and roadsides in our mountainous areas; Regarding the efficacy of dandelion, it is also recorded in some medical books, such as "Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine": dandelion is an antidote, anti-inflammatory, and heat-clearing drug. Jaundice, red eyes, difficulty urinating, constipation.

In rural households, it is commonly used to boil water and drink heat-clearing and detoxifying beverages. If you sell it, you can pick the ones that are not dried. Four or five yuan per kilogram.

2. Verbena.

When it comes to cow tendon grass, I am very impressed by the small dishes in the countryside, because when I was a child, cows loved this tender grass very much; However, this grass grows not only in mountains and wilderness, but also on cultivated land. In addition, its root system is well developed and difficult to pull out by hand. It should be removed with a hoe; Many people consider verbena to be a weed.

In fact, it is also a useful and valuable Chinese herbal medicine. Dispelling wind and dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying, removing stasis and stopping bleeding. It is often used for the prevention and treatment of Japanese encephalitis, rheumatoid arthritis, jaundice, indigestion in children and other diseases.

1. Ganoderma lucidum. Reishi mushroom is a rare thing. It is also a reishi fungus that grows only from felled and decaying tree bags in May-June each year. To find this reishi, you should pay more attention and observation in your daily work, remember which trees were cut down and where, it takes several years for the appearance of reishi.

2. Gallnut.

A gall is a type of gall on the back of a leaf. At that time, the supply and marketing cooperatives also purchased a large number of gallnuts. When the purchase time is from the end of July to the beginning of August of the lunar calendar, you can buy mooncakes after you have picked the gall and sold it;

3. Clematis.

When digging and selling, it is already cold in winter, and the intermittent usually grows on hillsides and beside stone piles. The supply and marketing cooperatives only buy rhizomes, and the seedlings are useless, and they can't dig much money a day, so they can only dig some when they are free in winter;

4. Clematis.

This plant is known as the king of medicine in folklore. It is also called golden clematis, golden grass, bird ginseng, golden thread into the bone flute and other names. It grows all over southern China, but the quality of the clematis produced varies from place to place.

Fujian and Guangdong have the best quality of clematis, followed by Guangxi, because these three places produce denser clematis and thicker leaves. Therefore, the best wild prickly pear** up to 10,000 kg. According to records, clematis has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, dispelling wind and dampness, detoxifying, relieving pain, and relieving cough.

The content of amino acids and trace elements of golden clematis is higher than that of American ginseng and wild ginseng, and has the effects of nutrition, anti-aging and regulating human immunity.
