"May there be no disease in the world

Why don't you put medicine on the shelf and make dust"

This is the motto of many healers who hang pots

The culture of Chinese medicine that was once so prosperous

Why is it fading now?

Japan monopolizes 80% of the Chinese medicine market! Authentic medicinal materials are difficult to find? Who broke the path of TCM?

Dr. Zhang is an old Chinese medicine practitioner with more than 30 years of experience

He runs an ancestral medical center

He specializes in using Chinese medicine to treat various chronic and recalcitrant diseases

He enjoys a high reputation in the local area

Many patients come to him every day

Dr. Zhang's most commonly used recipe is called "Four Gentlemen's Soup"

It is composed of ginseng, white art, poria and licorice

This recipe

It has the effect of tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, invigorating qi and rejuvenating, and harmonizing yin and yang

It is suitable for various symptoms caused by deficiency of qi and spleen

Such as fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating, loose stools, etc

Dr. Zhang thought

"Four gentlemen's soup" is a good remedy for qi deficiency and spleen deficiency

As long as the medicinal herbs are used correctly

You can get good results

however

Few years

Dr. Zhang found

The efficacy of "Four Gentlemen's Soup" is not as good as before

Many patients after taking it

Not only is there no noticeable improvement

Instead, there were some adverse reactions

Such as dry mouth, palpitations, insomnia, etc

Dr. Zhang felt very strange

He carefully examined his prescriptions and medications

No problems were found

He began to wonder if there was something wrong with the quality of the medicinal herbs

thereupon

He went to his own medicinal supplier

Carefully inquire about the source and price of medicinal herbs

The supplier told him

Today's medicinal herbs are purchased from other places

The price is also much higher than before

The supplier said

Now authentic medicinal herbs are becoming more and more difficult to find

Many were snapped up by the Japanese

The Japanese want to snap up authentic medicinal herbs

Don't hesitate to pay a high price

He even sent people to various places to collect and cultivate authentic medicinal herbs

Japan monopolizes 80% of the Chinese medicine market! Authentic medicinal materials are difficult to find? Who broke the path of TCM?

You can't even get medicinal herbs

It destroys the environment where medicinal herbs are grown

Suppliers are also distressed

There is no way for them either

Only from elsewhere

Stock some ordinary ones

Or inferior medicinal materials to supply the market

Dr. Zhang was very angry when he heard this

He felt that this was an infringement and blasphemy against Chinese medicine

He was going to personally look for authentic medicinal herbs

Provide the best treatment for your own patients

Dr. Zhang began his journey to find medicine

Japan monopolizes 80% of the Chinese medicine market! Authentic medicinal materials are difficult to find? Who broke the path of TCM?

He first went to Jilin Province, where ginseng is produced

After he arrived there

It was found that the mountain forest where ginseng originally grew had been cut down

Instead

Patches of corn and rice paddies

He asked the local farmers

I learned that the ginseng here had been bought by the Japanese

And then they contracted the land here

They also threatened locals not to grow ginseng again

Otherwise, you will bear legal responsibility

Dr. Zhang felt helpless

He had to leave Jilin Province

Dr. Zhang, who was not dead, went elsewhere

Shaanxi Province, which is rich in white art

Hubei Province, which is rich in poria

Gansu Province, which is rich in licorice

The situation in these production areas is also not optimistic

Drugs were bought up on a large scale

Land or erect tall buildings

Or build a factory

Vegetation and soil have been destroyed

Cultivated medicinal herbs

The efficacy is greatly reduced

There is no medicinal value

Even the medicinal herbs grown have their own toxins

Dr. Zhang felt desperate

Dragged his tired body back to his hometown

See opposite your own medical hall

A new medical clinic was opened

The owner turned out to be Japanese

Dr. Zhang was very angry

I want to rush in and theorize

But I saw the door on the other side

He suddenly froze

Weakly sat down in the chair

Two lines of clear tears slipped down the man's face

I only feel sadness in my heart

He looked at his hands, which he had practiced medicine for most of his life

Muttered:

100 years of heritage

And so it broke

It's broken...

He suddenly understood a truth:

Originally

It is no one else who has cut off the path of Chinese medicine
