Looking at the two patent medicines and the two completely different treatments, Chen Wenzhe was a little bit dumbfounded.
Both East and West attach great importance to strengthening that small area of land, even more than life-saving medicine.
When they encounter Guilingji, those foreigners also want to be scientific and only want the curative effect.
Unfortunately, these events all happened before 1980, so all the old lady's memories stayed in this year.
Now Chen Wenzhe already knows that the old lady was a vice president of that hospital and died at the end of 1980.
"Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine master!"
Only now did Chen Wenzhe understand what traditional Chinese medicine is, what traditional Chinese medicine is, and what a master of traditional Chinese medicine is!
It turned out that he was not very fond of traditional Chinese medicine, but after accepting this inheritance, he truly understood the power of traditional Chinese medicine.
As it has been passed down to this day, it is not that Chinese medicine is not good, but that the inheritors of Chinese medicine are not good.
During the more than 100 years before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, society was in turmoil, and there were few truly powerful masters of traditional Chinese medicine who could leave a legacy.
Especially in China, after repeated turbulences, traditional Chinese medicine has almost become extinct on the land of China.
On the contrary, some capable old Chinese medicine practitioners from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and abroad came out and passed down part of the essence.
Chen Wenzhe even realized that now, they are not even as good as the little devils.
More than a hundred years ago, they began to carefully collect traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, research, improve, and register international patents.
Nowadays, many traditional Chinese medicines produced by our people have become illegal goods if they want to be exported, otherwise they have to pay patent royalties to the little devils. This is really ironic.
Thinking about China, even if there are some elderly people who have stayed, they have not been able to practice medicine in recent decades because they did not have a license.
Nowadays, apart from some time-honored brands specially reserved by the state, there should not be many truly powerful Chinese medicine practitioners, right?
Chen Wenzhe felt very honored to have received the inheritance from a master of traditional Chinese medicine unexpectedly.
Although he doesn't want to be a doctor, he has the obligation to pass on this inheritance.
"Hey, no wonder no one learns it. This is too troublesome."
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Wenzhe got up and came to the study.
He took out some paper and started writing according to memory.
Angong Niuhuang Wan cannot be made in a while, but Guilingji can be made, but it is too troublesome.
After receiving the inheritance, Chen Wenzhe had seen many pharmaceutical experiences and even experienced it himself, but he still felt his scalp was numb due to this pharmaceutical method.
It can be said that any classic Chinese patent medicine has a strict production process.
As for Guilingji, it can be said that the prescription is rigorous, the formula is rare, the preparation is mysterious, and the technology is unique.
First of all, the raw materials include more than 20 precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, velvet antler, seahorse, sparrow brain, rehmannia glutinosa, cistanche, wolfberry, epimedium and so on.
When preparing these medicinal materials, we must not only strictly select those of the highest quality, but also undergo different processing and unique craftsmanship for each flavor.
Therefore, Guilingji strengthens the body and brain, strengthens the kidneys and replenishes qi, increases appetite, and regulates nerves so significantly.
The preparation of various ingredients in Guilingji is even more unique.
For example, deer antler is generally prepared with rice wine when preparing other medicines, while Guilingji is prepared with mature vinegar;
Male cloves should be soaked in pepper water and fried until white spots appear on the stems, etc.
In addition to vinegar and pepper, the auxiliary materials required for processing include rice wine, milk, honey, ginger juice, etc.
The manufacturing process includes boiling, steaming, mixing, popping, burying in the soil, leaving it open at night, etc., a total of ninety-nine processes.
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that there are ninety-nine processes, but if you want to count all the special features as processes, it is far more than ninety-nine processes.
The ancients may not have understood purification and refining, nor chemical equations or medicinal ingredients.
But, they know how to make medicine work.
Therefore, they do not need to purify, but in the complicated process of processing the medicinal materials, they get out some of the required medicinal ingredients, and combine them reasonably, and finally achieve a significant medicinal effect that you have to take.
They have no modern knowledge, no modern tools, and no idea what is working.
However, through special methods of processing medicinal materials, they completed the entire combination of medicinal materials and achieved very good results.
For example, deer antler requires a lot of processes to process it. In addition to the processing mentioned above, there is also an additional process of hair removal.
The ginseng must be made from reed rehmannia and rehmannia glutinosa. To prepare the ginseng, it must be prepared with storax oil.
Raw rehmannia, Shi Yan, steamed with fresh ginger, Cistanche deserticola and wine.
The brains and bark of house sparrows should be treated with honey, eucommia ulmoides should be fried with salt, licorice and wolfberry should also be treated with honey, asparagus and achyranthes should be treated with rice wine, and the feet and wings of large dragonflies should be removed, etc.
Without decades or hundreds of years of exploration and accumulated experience, how can you think of dealing with these things?
It can be said that almost every medicinal material has a unique process.
Therefore, every medicinal material has been refined and carefully designed to finally achieve the most perfect effect.
There are many things used here, such as storax oil, honey, and rice wine. The methods include stir-frying, boiling, using vinegar, and even stir-frying with Sichuan pepper and removing the Sichuan pepper.
To make it even more complicated, you need to boil it in water and soak it in vinegar. This process can be said to be numerous and extremely complicated.
How could you learn such a recipe and the technique of handling medicinal materials without the step-by-step instruction of a teacher?
Therefore, it is not without reason that many unique formulas from ancient times are no longer used today.
Many of us now search the Internet and find the formulas of various well-known Chinese patent medicines. However, if you really follow that formula to make medicine, you will not be killed!
It’s still Guilingji. Epimedium is used in it. If you don’t know how to use milk to process it and finally make a patent medicine, what will be the effect?
Maybe it's just a medicinal material and it doesn't have much impact. It depends on luck.
However, if you don’t know how to handle two, three, or even each of them, and you don’t know how to handle them, what will be the effect of the final prepared Chinese medicine?
Even if you drink it for half a month or a year, I'm afraid it won't have any effect, right?
This is the dilemma of traditional Chinese medicine. This is a technique that is very easy to get started but very difficult to master.
That's it, it's just the process. Only after these are processed and processed, is the final step the pharmaceutical production.
The method of making Guilingji is not a simple matter of matching them together.
It is made from bird brains and sulfur, put into pig intestines and boiled in water.
When the sulfur and sparrow brain are dissolved together, pour it out, remove the pig's large intestine, dry it in the sun, then combine it with the above medicine and roll it into a rough dough, put it into a silver barrel and steam it.
Steam for thirty-two hours, pour out the coarse noodles, mix the cinnabar noodles and medicinal noodles evenly, put them into a silver bucket and continue steaming for thirty-two hours, pour them out to dry and bottle them, and then you are done.
