Chapter 449: Gold foil makes clothes melt in your mouth
After seeing so many cases, some things were so bizarre that Chen Wenzhe sometimes didn’t know how to explain them.
Because the cases he looked at and the images that came with the medicine box had two completely different descriptions of the efficacy of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
The longer time passes, the more powerful the medicine seems to be.
Maybe this is a side effect of popularization? The old lady accepted two inheritances, one is the classic ancient inheritance, and the other is the reformed modern inheritance.
There are two formulas, one is made in small quantities and the other is made on a large scale. Is this the reason for the different efficacy?
"Huh?" I was casually checking some information on the Internet. Unexpectedly, I suddenly saw the auction information of Angong Niuhuang Pills!
“Can this thing also be auctioned?”
If you look closely, you can see that it can actually be auctioned, and the auction price is not low.
Angong Niuhuang Pills are worth a lot of money, and everyone may have heard of them.
Of course, they are also divided into three, six or nine grades, with different values.
The most distinguished one is the one Chen Wenzhe sees now.
A pill of Yuan'an Gong Niuhuang Pills, produced in the 1960s, was auctioned for a starting price of 6,000 yuan and was finally sold at a high price of 110,000 yuan.
This is what happened at an auction specializing in traditional Chinese medicine in the spring city of Shendu a few years ago.
110,000 is nothing compared to the high housing prices in Shendu, but the problem is that it is just a pill.
Why is it so expensive? Looking for the reasons, there are probably four points.
First, this medicine is originally "noble" in traditional Chinese medicine, not to mention the value of the "old" Angong Niuhuang Pill.
Second, the price of 110,000 is not sold in pharmacies, but in auction houses and collectors.
The collecting circle is essentially a vanity fair, and the story behind the price is hard to tell.
Third, things are rare and valuable.
It must be that the medicinal materials are rare. Angong Niuhuang Pills contains three precious medicinal materials, rhino horn, musk, and bezoar, which are all natural.
Especially after the trade and use of rhino horns was banned globally in 1993, rhino horns were no longer used as medicine. my country began to use concentrated water buffalo horn powder instead, with a huge gap.
Musk and bezoar are also rare species in nature.
Fourth, there is also the blessing of Guangyuyuan, a time-honored Chinese medicine brand, a "national intangible cultural heritage" and production technology.
It is coated with gold foil and protected by wax. It melts in your mouth and leaves no residue. It is indeed very powerful.
It is said that Angong Niuhuang Wan was first born in Guangyuyuan, and the old lady Chen Wenzhe obtained was also from Guangyuyuan.
However, her experience was even more bumpy, even worse than that of the old pharmacist who stayed in Guangyuyuan.
After the founding of New China, under the advice of Rise for China, Liu Huiwu, a well-known old pharmacist and inheritor of intangible cultural techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, gave the secret recipe of Angong Niuhuang Pills to Tongrentang, Darentang and Xishan Yellow River Medicine.
industry to meet the needs of the people.
However, they still kept a secret and kept the unique ancient processing techniques to themselves.
After analyzing the reasons, it seems understandable.
However, my personal feeling is that there is still one word - expensive, and two words - really expensive.
Also, I don’t know if everyone has such a concern.
The Angong Niuhuang Pills from the 1960s have almost expired. Can they still be used?
"Has the shelf life expired long ago? Haha, the Angong Bezoar back then didn't have a shelf life label."
Is the efficacy of the medicine attenuated, and will the therapeutic effect be compromised? Most people definitely don’t know.
However, Chen Wenzhe saw too much about Angong Niuhuang Pills through the old lady in the obstetrics and gynecology department. There was no limit on the shelf life.
And you can use it every time you take it out, and it melts in your mouth. This can save some emergency and severe cases, and it can also work quickly. Can you believe it?
Many people have never seen it or used it, and a lot of the information is just hearsay, but if it is expensive, it must be expensive for a reason.
However, the wax seal invented by our ancients is indeed quite powerful.
The gold foil is used as clothing and the wax protects it. It’s really not a gimmick.
They are really amazing, especially the way they melt in your mouth, which is more convincing than anything else!
Of course, this is the ancient method of An Gong Niuhuang Wan.
So, what is the current price of the newly produced Angong Niuhuang Pills?
There are many manufacturers producing Angong Niuhuang Pills, and the prices vary.
Guangyuyuan has several types, the cheapest is 180 yuan, and the average one is more than 500 yuan.
Bezoar and musk are both natural, which is much more expensive.
After searching a lot of information, Chen Wenzhe found that the price two years ago was 1,680 yuan. It is unknown what the price is now. There is no accurate information on the Internet.
Tongrentang’s Angong Niuhuang Pills are as famous as Guangyuan.
In the Qianmen Tongrentang main store in Dashilan, the Angong Niuhuang Wan counter is facing the main door, at position C, and it becomes the busiest counter from time to time.
In the glass counter, there are rows of Angong Niuhuang Pills in small red boxes. The price is 560 yuan per pill, and there are also more expensive ones.
By the way, the shelf life of Angong Niuhuang Pills is now 5 years.
In addition to these well-known ones, there are also many brands of Angong. I wanted to check more information and learn more about it, but after searching, there were too many.
Only then did Chen Wenzhe realize that he really had too little experience.
Only then did he realize that among the information he had obtained this time, Angong Niuhuang Pills was not the most important, but the most important thing was the process of making it.
Well, in addition to this drug, the method of using Angong Niuhuang Pills is also very important.
After reading some medical records, Chen Wenzhe finally unveiled the "first aid" of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
Angong Niuhuang Pills has the reputation of "rescuing emergencies in an instant, and relieving critical situations in an instant". Is it well-deserved?
Lift its veil layer by layer, and you will find that the most real version of it turns out to be like this.
What is "An Palace"? The so-called "An Palace" means to anchor the "Palace of the Heart".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the official organ of the monarch and is in a supreme position. The pericardium is like the palace of the heart, which plays a role in resisting external evil and protecting the heart.
The heart is the fire organ, which hides the spirit. It is the supreme ruler of the body, but it is easily disturbed by fire.
Because the pericardium often takes the place of evil spirits, it is often called "heat entering the pericardium", with high fever and coma as the main symptoms, which is considered to be "mental" uneasiness.
Angong Niuhuang Pill clears the heart and opens the mind. After taking it, it can make the heart "settle in its palace", so it is named "An Gong" vividly.
This is the theoretical basis for the preparation of this patent medicine.
In fact, for a guy like Chen Wenzhe who doesn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, how to make it is more important.
You know, how do ordinary people know what drugs Angong Niuhuang Pills are composed of? What are their effects?
But Chen Wenzhe got it very easily.
Bezoar (one tael), turmeric (one tael), rhinoceros horn (one tael), coptis (one tael), cinnabar (one tael), plum slices (two cents and five cents), musk (two cents and five cents), pearls (
