Developing Green Chinese Medicine to Grab Chinese Herbs

The business club reported on July 15 that for a period of time, continuous food and drug safety accidents have made Chinese herbal medicines, which have traditionally been considered less toxic and side effects, also met with people's skepticism. Industry insiders call for: The government and enterprises should start from the source, so that Chinese herbal medicines really go green and healthy.

Not long ago, the subject of the National Science and Technology Support Program “Research and Application of Safe Drug Detection Research and Early Warning Technology System” passed the inspection and acceptance. This project formed the detection methods and technical standards for the six categories of illegally added chemical drugs, and established Chinese herbal medicines. Rapid detection method for harmful substances. The project also established a rapid method for the detection of four heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in Chinese herbal medicines, as well as two types of pesticide residues, total organic phosphorus and total organic chlorine. At present, the state has approved this test method as a statutory technical standard for the state's drug supplementation testing method and inspection project, and gradually promote it.

It is not difficult to see that with the continuous introduction of various standards for food safety, various standards for Chinese medicine are constantly being refined. The introduction of these standards has also promoted the production of Chinese medicine to scale and technology. Observers said that government standards are indispensable and that companies’ practical actions are the most important.

For thousands of years, our fathers and grandfathers used thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine. They have been relying on wild collection or one-on-one planting. Today, this decentralized management method can no longer meet the development of modern Chinese medicine. How to produce high-quality Chinese medicine? According to Liu Xinghua, executive vice president of the Shenzhen Health Care Association and chairman of Guangdong Yongshengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., mainly relying on science and technology, relying on large-scale, large-scale, scientific and technological planting can achieve the quality of medicinal materials is a family difficult to achieve planting .

According to Lai Xiaoping, deputy director of the National Institute of Chinese Medicine Modernization Engineering Technology and Dean of the School of Chinese Materia Medica, Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the current management of Chinese herbal medicines in the market is scattered, scattered in production and processing, and dispersed in operations until the dispersion in warehousing and logistics. Eventually, it will inevitably lead to a difficult market for the market. In order to solve the problem of decentralization, it is obviously impossible to solve the problems fundamentally by simply increasing the number of management departments, management personnel, or increasing supervision, and the intensification of the production and processing of Chinese medicinal materials should be accelerated.

In recent years, Dendrobium candidum has been recognized as an expensive Chinese herbal medicine and a traditional Chinese medicine health product, but it is difficult to be popular because of its rarity. Based on the technical support of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, South China Agricultural University and the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangdong Yongshengyuan finally succeeded in mastering the high-density cultivation technology of Dendrobium candidum and made new breakthroughs in planting technology after years of repeated exploration. According to reports, in Raoping, Guangdong, according to the national GAP standard, they chose the precise latitude to establish a base for cultivation of Dendrobium candidum, a precious Chinese medicinal material. In the first phase, nearly 1,000 mu of 4,000-million acres were constructed, and a second phase of about 2,000 mu of planting base is under construction. . It is worth noting that they also established a model base for the production, research, and research of Chinese medicine with the Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and established the Pharmaceutical Orchid Plant Research Center in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences so that the products can meet the standards of pure natural, non-polluting and non-harmful substances. After several batches of tests, the main active ingredients of Dendrobium candidum are higher than the requirements of the new Chinese Pharmacopoeia and are also higher than the other 8 regions.

Lai Xiaoping believes that intensification is not only the large-scale planting of large enterprises, but also can form alliances by guiding farmers to form alliances. Relevant departments can guide planting, storage, transportation, and sales, and intensify scientific and technical counseling. This will enable the source of traditional Chinese medicine. Quality is guaranteed.

“In order to regulate the cultivation and production of traditional Chinese medicines, Guangdong Province has also issued local standards for Chinese herbal medicines. Both the testing standards and the planting standards will become the batons for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine.” Liu Xinghua emphasized that “development depends on science and scale management.” Only Chinese herbal medicines planted under standardized and scientific conditions will allow consumers to rest assured. It is understood that as the only Chinese herbal medicine enterprise certified by Hong Kong Organic Food in China, the Dendrobium series produced by eternal life has become the new darling of high-end groups such as high-end restaurants, star hotels, private clubs, and TCM health museums. The new trend of fashion health.

Industry insiders pointed out that the GAP certification issued by the government is a standardized quality control for the cultivation, harvesting, cleaning, placing, packaging, and transportation of Chinese herbal medicines. GAP herbs use biological pesticides in a unified manner, and the soil for planting will also be carefully tested. . Only companies that actually implement GAP certification can make the products they produce become truly "green Chinese medicine."
