How to process Chinese herbal medicines is worrying

Known as the "Millennium drug capital", Anguo, Hebei Province is one of the largest distribution centers of traditional Chinese medicine in China However, the reporter recently followed the inspection team of the State Food and Drug Administration in a secret visit and found that Anguo's illegal processing points of traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces are everywhere, and there are many worries about the storage and processing process The door of the eighth five villages in Anguo city is closed in the light rain of the "self-made" rain soak certificate Occasionally, villagers standing at the door chatting see strangers passing by and are wary of returning to the house After several twists and turns, with the introduction of the local people, the reporter and the secret visit group of the food and drug administration finally opened a closed iron door as a drug dealer Several bundles of medicinal materials are directly stacked in the open yard The plastic film covered by grass can not completely block the rain The bottom medicinal materials are directly immersed in muddy water "Fried processing can be, 37 price powder, Eucommia price charcoal can be fried." The owner pointed to a huge machine full of yellow rust and said that the medicinal materials processed at home can be seen in Anguo and markets all over the country The table in the room is covered with the "certificate of quality of Chinese Herbal Pieces" with bright red seal The place of origin is marked in Hebei, Guangxi, Liaoning and other places The production dates are different from May 2012 The owner introduced that after processing the medicine delivered here, the "self-made" certificate can be pasted directly according to the needs, without "trouble" such as sending it for inspection According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, the production qualification of Chinese herbal pieces is very strict, and the units and individuals without production license can not process (cut, fry, grill, grind powder, etc.) Production enterprises with production licenses are not allowed to buy Chinese herbal pieces from farmers or unlicensed vendors, but only from farmers and then process them into pieces However, in a short afternoon, in the eight five villages, Qi Village, Yu village and Qudi village, the secret visit group saw many such family style pieces processing workshops Without exception, the equipment is simple and the sanitation is worrying The ban on pesticide abuse is discounted in Zhengzhang village, Anguo City The green fields on both sides of the road are full of herbal medicines with fragrance "This is the price of licorice, this is the price of Astragalus." The names of the experts in the secret interview group are all familiar to everyone, and even herbs will be added to the soup and tea However, from time to time, we can see the scattered pesticide packages such as "carbofuran granules" at the edge of the growing herb According to the Announcement No 199 of the Ministry of agriculture of the people's Republic of China on June 5, 2002, there are 21 kinds of pesticides that are not allowed to be used or restricted on vegetables, fruit trees, tea prices and Chinese herbal medicines, including carbofuran "No medicine, no money." The local people who led the way said that the use of pesticides planted with Chinese herbal medicines had improved in the face of the country's repeated orders, but the phenomenon of sudden violations of regulations was still unavoidable According to experts from the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicines have the natural properties of agricultural products If pesticides are not used, the annual loss caused by the price of diseases, pests and weeds can be as high as 70%, and the correct use of pesticides can recover nearly 40% Therefore, in the use of pesticides, we should select and promote high-efficiency, low toxicity and low residue pesticides, and prohibit the use of highly toxic, high residue or carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic "three causing" pesticides In recent years, as a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine has encountered trust crisis due to the problems of excessive agricultural residues and adulteration Relevant experts suggest that we must rectify it from the source without delay "Problem solving requires leadership." Experts said that the main problems in the Chinese traditional medicine industry in China include the fact that the wild resources of traditional Chinese medicine can no longer meet the needs of industrial production of traditional Chinese medicine, resulting in the endangered resources of some traditional Chinese medicine; scattered cultivation of pharmaceutical farmers, inadequate implementation of standardized cultivation, unscientific use of pesticide and chemical fertilizer, resulting in excessive residues of harmful substances; preliminary processing and design of the origin of traditional Chinese medicine In addition, there are some phenomena such as simple preparation, dyeing and weight increase, adulteration, etc in the specialized market of traditional Chinese medicine, there are still some phenomena such as out of scope operation, making and selling fake products, etc However, because planting, processing, circulation and other links involve agriculture, drug supervision, commerce, industry and commerce, traditional Chinese medicine and other departments, it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem only by one document of one department The head of the State Food and Drug Administration said that five investigation teams had been sent to make an in-depth investigation on the illegal production and processing of Chinese herbal medicine in and around the market After the investigation, the State Food and drug administration, together with the Ministry of agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of industry and commerce, the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine and other departments will jointly issue the notice on Further Strengthening the management of traditional Chinese medicine, strengthen the management of all aspects of the industrial chain of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the planting of traditional Chinese medicine, the primary processing of the origin, the professional market of traditional Chinese medicine, and implement the overall responsibility of the local government To ensure the healthy development of traditional Chinese medicine industry.
