Planting method of Suoyang

Suoyang has a lot of efficacy and effect, and it is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, but what is precious is that its price is not high, so it is convenient for treatment. Let's take a look at the planting method of Suoyang.

The reproduction process of Suoyang is different from that of ordinary plants and is very similar to human beings and animals. In May and June every year, Suoyang begins to emerge from the ground and begins to mature in July and August. The male and female parts of the same plant pollinate and seed each other. Suoyang seed is very small, its shape is similar to human fertilized egg under microscope, and the weight of a thousand seeds is only about 2 grams. As the head of Suoyang is covered with scales, the seeds are tightly wrapped and cannot fall off. At this time, a white bug will be born from the root of Suoyang, which is named by experts. The lock-positive worm begins to go up gradually along the inside of the lock-yang from the bottom, eating empty the lock-yang bit by bit, until it reaches the top. At this time, a cavity is formed inside the Suoyang, and the seeds fall into the bottom of the Suoyang along the hole. With the reflux of the internal moisture of Suoyang, it enters the root of Nitraria through the channel of about 2 mm thick connected by Suoyang and Nitraria. At the root of Nitraria, follow the flow of water into the place suitable for its storage. Then winter came and Nitraria stopped growing. Suoyang seed absorbs the nutrients of Nitraria and grows rapidly.

The parasitic part bulges a bag the size of a fist. After a winter incubation, the following March began to sprout, break out of the ground, dozens of days to grow, pollinate, seed, and start a new round of growth cycle. Suoyang perennial fleshy parasitic herbs. The underground stem is thick and short, with many tubercle absorbing roots. The stem is cylindrical, dark purplish red, 20-100 cm high and 3-10 cm in diameter. Most of the stems are buried in the sand.

[harvest and processing] it can be dug in both spring and autumn, and spring is suitable. From March to May, when Suoyang has just been unearthed or is about to be ejected from sand, the quality is the best. After harvest, remove the inflorescence to avoid the consumption of nutrients, continue to grow and blossom, break into nodes, put in the sun on the beach, turn once a day, about 20 days can be dried. Or semi-buried in the sand, even with hot sand to make it dry. There are also a few areas that are sliced and dried when they are fresh. More moisture is harvested in autumn, which is not easy to dry and the quality is hard after drying.

[medicinal material shape] is flat and cylindrical, generally thin and slightly curved, long 5~15cm, diameter 1.5~5cm. The surface is brown to brown, rough, with obvious longitudinal grooves and irregular depressions, and some residual triangular scales. The body weight is strong, difficult to break, the cross section is light brown or brown, some can see triangular or irregular vascular bundles, single or 2-5 groups. The breath is light and then astringent.
