As the saying goes: "good medicine, medicine is good". In recent years, the quality of Chinese herbal medicine has been declining, and even the "Chinese medicine will die in traditional Chinese medicine".
Sharing the fourth held in Wuhan traditional Chinese medicine base exchange conference, on behalf of the more than and 200 Chinese enterprises to promote genuine authentic herbs standardization, scale, modernization of green production.
Traditional Chinese medicine planting and production side of the heavy, the daily supervision of the government is weak
"The field of traditional Chinese medicine has not formed a brand, adulteration, doping, dyeing, smoked sulfur, heavy metal, pesticide residues and other issues have been plaguing every Chinese people." Liu Baolin, chairman of the China Pharmaceutical Group, said. For example, dangshen and Huangqi, some farmers and businesses with sulfur fumigation, can make whitening sell good-looking, but also heavy pollution, but decreased; medicinal efficacy, may also cause side effects.
The quality of Chinese herbal medicine directly determines the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, the quality of Chinese herbal medicine decreased, and ultimately affect the traditional Chinese medicine. Liu Baolin said, at present, a vicious spiral vicious price competition makes the Chinese market into a bad money drives out good money and intensified, seriously hindered the development of Chinese medicine.
In Chinese herbal medicine, 37, for example, the cost of 37 per kilogram of quality sixty or seventy yuan, the market price of eighty or ninety yuan, while the price of only 40 yuan fake. Below the normal cost of Chinese enterprises lead to fake formal unprofitable, there's no guarantee the quality of drugs.
"All sorts of chaos, after all are farmers and businesses over the profit, not to the quality of medicines in the first place." Chinese director of World Network Expert Committee Liu Hongwei think, according to his observations, the 17 Chinese herbal medicines on the market, there is a shoddy, adulteration problem in different degree. In order to improve the yield of some Yaonong multiplied, brazenly using a bulking agent.
Chinese herbal medicine Chinese traditional medicine to reduce adulteration. Wuhan City, a large hospital doctors Zhang told reporters that she can clearly feel some of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as before, and some even have to redouble their efforts to bear fruit. Liu Hongwei also said that some manufacturers of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, 10 ml of the original 2 tubes with 20 ml of 2, now will not work, must have 3 to 4 teams to work.
In order to improve the quality of Chinese medicinal materials, in June 1, 2002, "Chinese herbal medicine production quality management standards (Trial)" began to take effect, this is the first in the world to the national government in charge of the Department of Chinese herbal medicine (GAP). The State Food and Drug Administration Drug Certification Review Center Director Sun Jinglin said, the core GAP of Chinese herbal medicine is the quality of Chinese herbal medicines, is planting (breeding) the whole process of management. The fertilization is dominated by organic fertilizers; try not to pesticides, such as pesticide application must only use low toxicity and low residue; Germplasm in traditional authentic planting area of geoherbs."
Sun Jinglin admitted that the Chinese herbal medicine GAP implementation and lack of Supervision: "norms in the pilot phase, the force is not enough; the daily supervision of certification becomes weak, exists in the authentication instead of regulatory issues."
Source quality control, the establishment of standardized cultivation technology system
"Chinese herbal medicines from wild to plant is a revolution." Chinese Academy of engineering, said Zhang Boli, to establish a standardized system of planting technology, strengthen the material basis for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. "Standardization is the" soil, fertilizer, water, light, temperature, species, planting, management, insects, medicine, income, mining, transportation, security, storage, ". As long as the management of these 15 words, the quality of Chinese herbal medicine must be significantly improved."
"Top priority is to grow from the source to control the quality of." Liu Hongwei suggested that, starting from the seeds and land medicinal herbs planting, growing and harvesting strictly during the process of supervision, only pay close attention to the source of planting, is likely to reverse the decline in the quality of medicines in the current trend fundamentally.
According to reports, Kyushu has invested 400 million yuan with strong brand cooperation, established in the country 28 varieties of Chinese herbal medicines such as Coptis chinensis planting base, including Enshi, Luotian, Macheng Poria Rhizoma Coptidis chrysanthemum, Yingshan 8 base has medicinal Atractylodes rhizome through national GAP certification, to develop a unified planting standards, to ensure the quality of medicines and reliable.
Liu Baolin suggested that in addition to the enterprise, the support of government, but also through the promotion, form a good public opinion environment, the Chinese herbal medicine brand building into medicine chaos in the governance of the focal point and a breakthrough.
Chinese herbal medicine base co construction and Sharing Alliance chairman Ren Dequan believes that the Chinese herbal medicine market to return to the healthy development of the track needs of the industry to carry out structural reforms.
"Production layout to gather by the general area to real estate areas, changing the mode of production from the peasant economy to the organization, standardized production and moderate scale cooperation mode of production, enterprise production, production management from extensive management to fine management transformation can be traced back to GAP." Ren Dequan said, only a number of modern brand and geoherbs Chinese enterprises rise, it means to achieve the objectives of the reform.
