A Chinese medicinal herb called "cat's claw".
It is attracting attention because of the huge price increase
So what exactly is "cat's claw"?
Why is the increase so large?
At 10 o'clock in the morning of April 17, the reporter came to the Kunming Chinese herbal medicine professional market, and found this Chinese herbal medicine called "cat's claw" after visiting a number of Chinese herbal medicine stores.
The clerks all said that the price of "cat's claw" has indeed increased recently, and the increase is not small.
The owner of the herb shop: "It used to be two or three hundred and one kilograms, but now it's one thousand." ”
Wang Yiming, sales manager of Lvsheng Pharmaceutical: "In the past, it was more than 300 yuan a kilogram, but now it has risen to more than 1,000 yuan a kilogram. “
It is understood that cat's claw grass is named because it resembles the claws of a kitten, and it is a blind phlegm and cough and asthma medicine, which has the effect of dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and is often used for the treatment of sputum nucleus, boils, swelling and poison, snake and insect bites.
However, due to the small production volume and the large market demand in recent years, the price has been on an upward trend, and recently it has been out of stock. The clerk said that the price spike may have something to do with it.
"In a word, it is out of stock, you see that the market is almost out of stock, our family is also out of stock, we used to sell 850 yuan/kg, and then the whole market came to our house to get the goods, and now I can't get back a thousand yuan. ”
It is understood that the price of "cat's claw" has risen suddenly in the past two years, and the price was only a few dozen yuan when the price was the lowest.
"I remember when we first started, in 2013, we bought 65 yuan a kilogram and no one asked for it. ”
The clerk told reporters that because many people have taken "cat's claw" and the treatment of nodules has been effective, more people have bought it, and the price has naturally risen.
Wang Yiming, sales manager of Lvsheng Pharmaceutical: "Pulmonary nodules are good for treating these swollen nodules on the neck. In the past year, it used to be more than 300, 600, and 800, but it has changed all of a sudden, and now it seems that more than 1,000 are sold and out of stock. ”
According to the wholesaler of Chinese herbal medicines, the new batch of "cat's claw" will arrive in half a month, and the price may drop slightly.
