What are the scarce Chinese herbal medicines in the next 5 years?

The market of medicinal materials occupies a very important position in China's agricultural economy, and there are countless kinds of medicinal materials in our country, and there are many precious and even scarce varieties. If farmers want to make money by growing traditional Chinese medicine, they need to understand which herbs are in great demand in the market and are the ones that are in short supply. So what are the scarce Chinese herbal medicines in the next five years? Let's have a look!

1. Tianshan snow lotus

Tianshan snow lotus is also known as snow lotus. I believe many people have heard its name in martial arts novels, but in fact, Tianshan snow lotus also exists in real life, but it is very rare, so it is not well known. What can be seen now are basically artificially planted Saussurea involucrata, and there are very few wild ones. In addition, Tianshan Saussurea involucrata has a growth cycle of five to eight years, so it is a very scarce resource of traditional Chinese medicine on the market.

2. Pilose antler

Pilose antler is one of the most precious and scarce traditional Chinese medicine. Its finished product refers to the unossified and hairy antlers of sika deer or red deer. Its medicinal value is very high, and it can be used for diseases such as yin deficiency, yang deficiency and blood deficiency, while in the medicine market, pilose antler can be sold for tens to hundreds of yuan per gram.

3. Rhodiola

At present, the planting technology of Rhodiola is not perfect, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine which has been artificially domesticated and cultivated in recent years, so it is also a very scarce herbal medicine in the market. Although it has been cultivated in many parts of our country, the scale of planting has not been further broken, and its growth cycle is as long as five to seven years, and the market is completely in short supply. Although the price of Rhodiola is not as good as those rare medicinal materials, it can sell for 35 to 50 yuan a jin.

4. Money tortoise

Money tortoise is a very scarce animal medicine, which is mainly used to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the human body. The output of money tortoise farming is not high, and the scale of breeding is not large, so it is naturally very scarce. There is also a difference between the breeding technology of money turtles and other turtles, which is also a difficulty in its breeding.

Generally speaking, with the over-exploitation of resources, the number of some wild Chinese medicinal materials is getting smaller and smaller. in addition to the above medicinal materials, musk, bezoar, cat claw grass, boxing ginseng and so on are also very scarce in the market. At present, the difficulty is how to develop the artificial planting industry, so that these scarce Chinese herbal medicines can be recovered, contribute to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and let growers get better benefits at the same time.
