Chapter 69 Attempts to Modernize Single Chinese Medicine Granules
"I think that in the future, the state can introduce policies to encourage the production of authentic medicinal materials in Taoist land, not in Taoist land, and try to ban it. Ma Li thought of a trick, "In this way, there will be no difference between Jiangbei Province and Lu Province." ”
Tang Zongyi shook his head.
Qu Guangquan also said no.
"For example, the annual consumption of white peony is about 7,000 tons, and everyone used to think that Hangzhou white peony was used for authentic medicinal materials, if you follow your requirements, it is estimated that the arable land of families who are willing to plant Hangzhou white peony is not enough!"
Qu Guangquan pointed to the white peony in the Huazu Medicine Garden by the pond: "The quality of our Bo white peony in Qiaozhou is also quite good, so everyone also uses it, and if other places plant white peony - what I mean by this is that farmers are more profitable than planting other crops, maybe they also grow white peony." The government's obstruction will affect the economic benefits of farmers. ”
"Well, the amount of our white peony is relatively large, Hangzhou white peony is definitely not enough, in some respects Bo Bai peony is better than Hangzhou white peony, we also purchase Bai Baipaonia. "The reason why Tang Zongyi and they often go to Qiaozhou is also because they want to go to Qiaozhou to purchase authentic medicinal materials Bo Bai Peony.
"Is there a way to process the medicinal materials from each major producing area, and then make them into finished products according to a standard, and the pharmacy uses almost the same thing, just like the Coca-Cola we drink, no matter where it is produced, China, the United States, or Australia all have the same taste and the same content. ”
"How is that possible? Chinese herbal medicines, especially real estate Chinese medicinal materials, can't all be the same. Li Zonggang was determined.
"Well, if you want to talk about it, it's really possible!" Tang Zongyi, as the leader of the company, has a lot of contact after all. "That is the extraction, according to the unified standard of different medicinal materials extraction, there have been experts in this aspect of the attempt, but this is different from the traditional decoction pieces, some people from the perspective of the ancients to object. ”
Qu Guangquan shook his head slightly: "This seems to be contrary to tradition, but Chinese medicine cannot only stay at the traditional level. We must innovate and modernize in order to keep up with the pace of the times. We also take salvia as an example, although there are slight differences in the varieties of salvia in different places, they are crushed into coarse granules or ultra-fine powder, and then extracted according to a unified standard to make granules that can be drunk, so that undifferentiated salvia can be made. ”
"If that's the case, no matter where you buy it or where it comes from, it's really consistent. A buyer immediately made a positive opinion.
"Is that a prescription prescribed by the doctor, don't soak it when you take it back, don't find any casserole, and don't think about what to fry first and then decoction, you can drink it with boiling water!" Li Zonggang understood.
"Yes, not to mention that all Chinese herbal medicines can be made into granules in the future, as long as the vast majority of commonly used Chinese herbal medicines are made into granules, it will be easier for everyone to buy Chinese medicine and eat. This makes it easier for our young talents to accept. ”
Liu Zhenyuan didn't speak, listened carefully, and frowned.
Qu Guangquan is talking about the single Chinese medicine granules of later Chinese medicine.
The concept of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules originated from foreign countries, which refers to the granules made by extracting, concentrating and drying single Chinese medicinal materials after processing and processing them by modern technology.
China's mainland concentrated particles started late, in the early 1990s began to develop, in 1993 the country began to formally pilot.
RB, South Korea, and Taiwan tried to explore as early as the 1970s.
Compared with the decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine that are directly fed into the decoction of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc., the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules are ready to be taken immediately, which has a series of advantages such as easy to carry, clear dosage, easy to keep and not easy to deteriorate.
Since 1992, Jiangyin Tianjiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. took the lead in developing this kind of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules made of single-flavor Chinese medicine decoction pieces as raw materials, extracted, concentrated, dried and granulated by modern technology, and the controversy has never subsided.
Those who support it say that its quality is controllable, convenient and fast, while those who doubt it complain that it violates ancestral teachings and has doubts about its efficacy.
After more than 20 years of exploration and 15 years of pilot, the application scope of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules has been expanding, but it has still not been able to take off the hat of "pilot production".
Behind the special situation is the continuous debate around the difference in the efficacy of single decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, and the embarrassment that there is no unified industry standard and it is difficult to expand the market.
And by 2016, the state had only approved six companies to participate in the trial.
Among these six companies, there is no Sinopharm boss Tongrentang.
"Xiaoquan, the most important thing is the standard problem you said, let's say salvia, it can't only contain a single active ingredient, it is a combination of a variety of active ingredients, it's easy to say, how many ingredients should be contained in each one, but it's difficult to operate. What's more, there are tens of thousands of Chinese medicinal materials, the origin is intricate, and the extraction and preparation is a very complicated project. Tang Zongyi actually thought about this problem.
"Uncle Tang, if Chinese medicine wants to develop, it must be modernized, even if it is prosperous, as long as you move forward step by step, there will definitely be a bright future, if it stagnates because of prosperity, it may be eliminated. ”
"It's a bit alarmist to knock you out, and the traditional forces are big. Tang Zongyi has been rooted in Tongrentang for decades, and he is still full of confidence in the future of Tongrentang.
"Uncle Tang, keeping up with the pace of modernization, enterprises may have vitality, and the development speed will far exceed those traditional enterprises that stick to the old ways. Qu Guangquan was very saddened by Tongrentang's insistence.
And so it is.
In the modern fast-paced lifestyle, the convenience of traditional Chinese medicine granules is favored by patients, and the market demand is huge.
From 2006 to 2015, the average annual compound growth rate of national sales of traditional Chinese medicine granules was as high as 48.84%, much higher than the growth rate of 26.7% in the same period.
In 2016, the overall scale of the TCM formula granule market exceeded 10 billion yuan, and by 2018, it exceeded 18.8 billion yuan.
The six pilot enterprises have indeed made a lot of profits, far exceeding other traditional Chinese medicine enterprises that have developed during the same period.
If Tongrentang can develop traditional Chinese medicine granules in the first echelon, it will undoubtedly greatly promote the modernization of the entire traditional Chinese medicine industry.
Liu Lao looked at the majestic Huazu main hall in front of him, "The biggest driving force for the development of traditional Chinese medicine is to try to break through, Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, Huazu scrapes bones to cure poison with hemp boiling, that is the pioneering spirit, but since the Qing Dynasty, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually fallen into the classics, and there are fewer and fewer doctors like Huazu who dare to break the routine." ”
Tang Zongyi nodded, his eyes looked at Qu Guangquan, "Xiaoquan, your thinking may be the development path of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, all of us will grow old, and this world will belong to you." If you can practice the attempt of traditional Chinese medicine granules, Liu Lao and I will give you a boost. ”
