In recent years, with the enhancement of everyone's awareness of health preservation, many people will choose Chinese herbal medicines to regulate themselves daily. However, due to the fact that Chinese herbal medicines are non-standard products, the same category may have different origins, and the medicinal ingredients of different origins are different, so it is difficult for the general public to distinguish the quality of medicinal materials.
So how can you tell the difference between good and bad herbs? Here are 4 common ways to do it.
1. Eye-viewing: Mainly observe the shape, size, color, thickness, and texture of the cross-section. Each medicinal material has certain appearance characteristics, such as the rhizome of Chuanxiong is an irregular nodular mass, and the cross section of Polygonum multiflorum is a "cloud brocade pattern"; Through the observation of the surface color of the medicinal materials, the origin and quality of the medicinal materials can be distinguished.
For example, American ginseng and raw dried ginseng are similar in appearance, so there is a phenomenon that raw dried ginseng is filled with American ginseng or mixed with American ginseng and sold. If you look closely, the density of American ginseng is larger, the texture is finer, the horizontal lines are more, the ginseng flavor is stronger, and the sweet aftertaste in the mouth is longer, while the slices of raw dried ginseng can be seen to have a looser texture, and there are more gaps in the middle of each slice; <>
2. Hand touch: The main experience is that the material of the medicine is light and heavy, firm, soft, old and tender, slippery, etc., and you can find the truth to a certain extent by carefully rubbing it. Medicinal materials such as seahorses and cordyceps sinensis may be increased by criminals by filling sand and adding iron wire.
3. Nose smell and mouth tasting: mainly experience the smell of medicinal materials, such as musk aroma and long-lasting; Angelica sinensis and Duhuo are similar in appearance, but Angelica is sweet and slightly bitter, and Duhuo is slightly bitter and spicy; Most of the "ejiao" made of pig skin, cowhide, etc. have small holes on the surface, and some have a smell of stinky gum, which will soften when the temperature is high; <>
4. Soaking: This method can distinguish counterfeit products made of starch or dyed, such as "deer antlers" forged by gluing deer skin with starch, which will naturally disperse once soaked.

Look at the surface. Different types of medicinal materials will have different appearance characteristics due to the different parts of the medicine. For example, root medicinal materials are mostly cylindrical or spinning cone-shaped, and leather medicinal materials are mostly rolled up.
Look at the color. We can distinguish the variety, origin and quality of medicinal materials through the observation of the appearance and color of medicinal materials. For example, the color of Coptis chinensis should be yellow, the color of salvia should be red, and the color of Scrophularia should be black.
Hand touch. Feel the softness and hardness of the herb with your hands, for example, salt aconite is soft, while black aconite is hard.

Preface: Because there are many types of Chinese medicines, there are many Chinese medicines with different names, but they look very similar, and it is difficult to distinguish them. Although these Chinese medicines look very similar, but the efficacy is very different, so if you are not a professional, it is best not to blindly choose to take some Chinese medicine, which may cause some adverse effects on the body.
For example, turmeric and turmeric, although the two look different, but the name is relatively similar, turmeric and turmeric are both medicines, can not be confused together, because turmeric can invigorate blood stasis, qi and relieve pain, and turmeric can relieve pain through menstruation, there is a certain difference in the efficacy of the two. Bupleurum and silver Bupleurum are also very different in appearance, many people may confuse these two Chinese medicines because of the name, Bupleurum can relieve the surface and reduce fever, soothe the liver and relieve depression and silver, Bupleurum can reduce deficiency fever, clear fever, and there is also a great difference in efficacy.
The difference between green wood incense and wood incense is also very large, if you want to distinguish these two herbs, it is best to choose to observe carefully, the wooden box can be used to relieve pain, adjust the stagnation. And Aoki incense can calm the liver and relieve pain, detoxify and reduce swelling. These drugs can not be confused, if in the time of the disease, because of the mistake of the drug, it will be easy to make the condition more serious, and it is not conducive to the health of the body.
Many people will also be confused between Wujiapi and Xiangjiapi, and Wujiapi can dispel rheumatism, nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, and activate blood and veins. Banana peel can reduce swelling and rheumatism, and the two traditional Chinese medicines can not be mixed, so there is a big difference in efficacy, if it is not taken properly, the impact on the body is very large, so it is necessary to consult a doctor in advance when taking traditional Chinese medicine.
