The "genuine" nature of medicinal materials becomes random, and the effect of wide planting decreases instead

The reporter found that the dosage of a traditional Chinese medicine in the past only needs 5 to 6 grams, but now some prescriptions use 10 to 20 grams Why? Because the quality of many Chinese herbal medicines is not stable, the efficacy is reduced, and the dosage is small There are many reasons for this situation: over excavation, destruction of the "genuine" growth of traditional Chinese medicine, imbalance of planting structure, management of traditional Chinese medicine, lack of integration and so on Experts called on the government to remove institutional barriers as soon as possible, vigorously integrate functions, and scientifically coordinate traditional Chinese medicine A prescription leads to the question: why dose doubled April 23, in the south of huayangchang Town, Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province, reporters saw a "Fu's traditional Chinese Medicine Museum", the room is only 80 square meters in size, 6 pharmacists grasp the medicine, the decoction is not the common stainless steel electric stove, but 5 black earth jars, waiting for a long line of people Xinglong town hospital, located in the outskirts of Shuangliu, carries out the integrated treatment of Chinese and Western medicine, while the annual participation rate of TCM treatment in outpatients has been kept at 58% in recent years, that is to say, more than 70000 people in the whole town choose TCM Qi Qintao, the hospital's director, is a young woman with traditional Chinese medicine She told reporters that there are more than 20 patients with her number every day In 2009, the amount of traditional Chinese medicine in rural Sichuan accounted for 43.9% of the total health services From the grass-roots level, the reporter saw the "Chinese medicine fever" However, it was not a bright spot The reporter also felt some complaints from the common people On the same day, a man surnamed Qiu in Shuangliu County Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine held two packages of traditional Chinese medicine in his hand He told reporters that he was suffering from cough, and the cost of medicine totaled 30.25 yuan He thought it was expensive Reporter picked up his prescription: a total of 15 Chinese herbs Unexpectedly, this prescription leads to a thought-provoking topic A Chinese doctor told reporters that several Chinese medicines in this prescription, if put in the past, only need 5 to 6 grams per taste, but this prescription uses 10 to 20 grams "It is a very common phenomenon to increase the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine," said the traditional Chinese medicine "Now many traditional Chinese medicines are unstable in quality, ineffective in small dosage, and burdensome to the common people in large dosage It is very difficult for traditional Chinese medicine." Over excavation and unbalanced structure make it difficult for the common people to meet their needs "Now, the efficacy of some Chinese herbal medicines has declined, one reason is that the standardized artificial planting has been ignored, which has affected the medicinal power of the herbal medicines; the other reason is that the growth period is not long enough, or the wild Chinese herbal medicines are dug out before the picking period, and the efficacy is not enough." Yang dianxing, director of Sichuan Administration of traditional Chinese medicine, said Behind the decline of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is the destruction of the resources of traditional Chinese medicine caused by ecological deterioration and over mining In recent years, with the increasing praise of natural drugs in the world, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine is growing rapidly, which leads to the shortage of traditional Chinese medicine According to statistics, among the nearly 3000 endangered plants in China, about 60% - 70% are used in traditional Chinese medicine or have medicinal value For example, the extract of Hypericum perforatum has been found by American scholars to have the effect of treating depression As a result, many domestic companies purchased a large number of Hypericum perforatum for export, and farmers all over the country went to the mountains to dig As a result, a lot of medicinal materials are not available The shortage of medicinal materials made many traditional medicines impossible to make "Not only that, but also the imbalance of planting structure." Yang dianxing said For the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, enterprises now generally implement large-scale production, most of which directly aim at factories and international markets and pursue high profits However, the production of conventional medicine and low-cost medicine urgently needed by the common people is in short supply At present, precious Chinese herbal medicines are very popular in Japan, South Korea and Western countries Some multinational enterprise groups are willing to pay a lot of money to buy precious Chinese herbal medicines In recent years, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine in Sichuan Province has developed rapidly In 2008, the planting area of traditional Chinese medicine in Sichuan Province reached 1.351 million mu, with the output of 309000 tons and the output value of 2.4 billion yuan, respectively, increasing by 218%, 341% and 281% compared with 1999 Among them, the output value of more than 100 million yuan is mostly precious medicinal materials, which are also lack of diversity, so it is difficult to meet the basic needs of the people for traditional Chinese medicine In addition, experts pointed out that growers are often influenced by the market, ignoring the growth cycle, cutting down the price of high and fierce planting, which makes the artificial planting up and down and the market unbalanced On April 25, the reporter returned to Chengdu to visit some experts in Sichuan Traditional Chinese medicine What we talked about most was the lack of integration of the management functions of traditional Chinese medicine, which caused many disadvantages After combing their opinions, there is a consensus that the most remarkable feature of Chinese medicine is that medicine and medicine are integrated and promoted each other For thousands of years, they have not been separated No one is not only a doctor but also a pharmacist At present, the government has 17 relevant departments in charge of traditional Chinese medicine, known as "railway police, each in charge of a section" Yang dianxing said: "traditional Chinese medicine planting is under the jurisdiction of agriculture and forestry, with standardized planting and breeding However, due to multi department management, there will be a lack of overall planning for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, resulting in the separation of medicine For example, according to the thinking of agriculture, large-scale cultivation will drive farmers to become rich There is more combination of herbal medicine cultivation and enterprise demand, but less combination with medical demand " Yang dianxing gave an example to the reporter: Jilin ginseng was transplanted to Hainan Although the planted ginseng is big and beautiful, its effect is small "The effect is small The most beautiful ginseng is firewood." The growth of traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the "authenticity" and the special natural environment of water, soil and climate Some of them can't even be "moved" for transplantation Therefore, there are famous brands of traditional Chinese medicine, such as chuanxiong, Chuanbei and Changbai Mountain Ginseng Now, the origin and variety of traditional Chinese medicine are mixed, and traditional Chinese medicine has become the economic development crop of the agricultural sector "How can the quality and characteristics of medicinal materials be guaranteed when" genuine "becomes" random " An expert from Chengdu University of traditional Chinese medicine said, "although there are department supervision and quality standards, due to the separation of medicine and medicine, in fact, the supervision is not effective." Experts called on the government to have a department to manage traditional Chinese medicine, and a department to make overall planning for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to organically combine the allocation and planting of traditional Chinese medicine with the medical market, so as to meet the needs of the people to the maximum extent.
