Speaking of immortal grass, maybe you only know that there are such things as Polygonum multiflorum and Ganoderma lucidum. In fact, there are nine immortal grasses in Chinese history. It is said that these nine immortal grasses can really come back to life. Today, we would like to share an article about the ranking of the nine immortal grasses in China. Let's take a look. "Nine Immortal Grass" is famous for the Taoist classic "Dao Zang" in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. Taoist classic "Daozang" lists Dendrobium candidum, Tianshan snow lotus, ginseng, 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, Poria clump of Huajia, Ganoderma lucidum, undersea pearl and Cordyceps sinensis as the nine "immortal weeds" in China.

The biological habits of Dendrobium candidum are mysterious. It grows in the shade of the cliffs. The ancients often suspended the cliffs or shot arrows to collect them. Dendrobium candidum receives the aura of heaven and earth all the year round and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. More than a thousand years ago, Dendrobium candidum was regarded as the first of the nine immortal herbs in China by the Taoist medical classic "Daozang" during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.

Dendrobium candidum (Dendrobium candidum) is the most economically valuable species of Dendrobium at the present stage, which is mainly used for medicinal and health products. The products produced are "iron maple dou". The international market price is US $1300 per kilogram ("leading Phoenix tail" iron maple bucket), iron maple Doujing (health drink), iron maple dou capsule, Yangyin Yiqi capsule.
