Gossip, aspirin.

Editor's note: this statement is controversial, and Lan you should use it cautiously. ]

Aspirin was first produced by Bayer Pharmaceutical Factory in Germany for 110 years. It is a great contribution made by Bayer Pharmaceutical Factory to mankind.

As early as 2000 years ago, people used willow bark, willow root bark, willow branches, willow leaves to treat human diseases, using its decoction field to treat a variety of pain, fever and other diseases. It was not known that there was "aspirin" in willow bark until more than 2000 years later. It was an extract, not in aspirin, but in a substance called salicylate (glycoside) (salicylic acid). Today, salicylic acid is a synthetic product and is still used as a medicine. Because salicylic acid has strong irritation to oral and gastric mucosa, it can not be used for oral administration, but made into tinctures, powders and ointments for surgical dermatology to treat stubborn dermatoses.

Aspirin is called acetic acid salicylic acid (acetic acid), which is made by the reaction of salicylic acid with anhydrous acetic acid. It's synthetic, of course.

Aspirin has antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects in the medical field. The antipyretic and analgesic effect is mild and definite. In recent years, it has been used in cardiovascular diseases and has been recognized by the medical community.

Now it is also used in the plant planting industry, opening up new uses. Soaking seeds with aspirin can improve the germination rate and strong bud rate of seeds, and make the new seedlings thrive and grow. Transplanting seedlings and trees can promote new roots and buds, and improve the drought resistance of crops.

There are not many reports on the research of orchid cultivation industry, but some people use it, and it is really effective. Spraying orchid leaves with aspirin aqueous solution can improve the immunity of bluegrass, effectively prevent the occurrence of white silk disease, soft rot and black spot, and greatly reduce insect pests.

It is used to cultivate the lower mountain orchid to protect the orchid root and promote the new root. The effect of budding early. Spraying orchid root and orchid leaves with aspirin aqueous solution has the ability of disease resistance and sterilization, and it can be planted in a pot when the water is dry. In the cultivation of orchids, aspirin aqueous solution can be used to spray orchid leaves once a quarter, which can promote the growth of orchid seedlings, the use of light and the promotion of flowers. Aspirin is not fertilizer, should not be overused or sprayed too frequently, otherwise it will cause physiological disorders of orchid seedlings, self-defeating.

Dosage: aspirin 2000 times aqueous solution is more safe and effective. That is, one gram of aspirin powder is mixed with two kilograms of water to form a 2000-fold liquid.

It should be noted that most drugstores on the market sell aspirin tablets, which contain 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.2g, 0.3g and 0.5g. This refers to the dose (amount) of aspirin in each pill, not the weight of a pill. The other is a compound of aspirin called compound aspirin (A.P.C), which contains 0.2268 grams of aspirin, 0.16 grams of phenacetin and 0.035 grams of caffeine. The above two tablets contain excipients (such as starch, etc.). Without excipients, they cannot be pressed into tablets. The use of these tablets is defective and easy to cause dose errors, so it is best not to use them. Pure aspirin powder can be used and can be measured by a medical balance (aspirin powder can be bought from a local pharmaceutical company).

It should also be mentioned that aspirin is insoluble in water and should be dissolved with a small amount of alcohol and then mixed with water. Only in this way can the utilization rate and absorption rate of orchid seedlings be improved, and of course there will be an ideal effect.

Note: it is suggested that horticultural authorities devote themselves to the study of using aspirin to play a greater role in the cause of orchid cultivation.
