Why use local herbs

The reasons for choosing local herbs are: local herbs have obvious medicinal effects, specialized medicinal properties, and it is easier to manage the dosage according to the pharmacopoeia. Since ancient times, Chinese medicines have been characterized by their authenticity, such as Angelica sinensis in Gansu, wolfberry in Ningxia, rhubarb in Qinghai, astragalus in Inner Mongolia, ginseng, ginseng, schizandra and schizandra in Northeast China, Codonopsis pilosulae in Shanxi, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ginseng and Rhizoma Ginseng. Taoist herbs are adapted to local climatic characteristics and have obvious medicinal effects. Chinese medicines have the characteristics of four qi, five flavors, elevation, floating and sinking, attribution and toxicity, and Taoist herbs are specialized in their medicinal properties, which makes them less susceptible to counterfeiting. The dosage can also be unified nationwide according to the pharmacopoeia, which facilitates the promotion of Chinese medicine. However, the production of various Taoist herbs is after all limited, far from meeting the needs of clinical use of medicines. The meaning of “local herbs” should be correctly recognized, and the quality and clinical efficacy of herbs should be ensured as a criterion, so that there is no need to be too rigidly bound by the geographical restriction of herbs.
