This cabbage can grow to 2 meters. Only on the plateau can it be praised as the first of the three auspicious treasures.

China is rich in products and resources, and there are many rare plants that many people may not have seen. The more rare plants are, the more they grow in unknown places, so they are not known to the world. Today, we are going to talk about a plant that looks like cabbage. It can grow up to 2 meters, which is taller than an adult. Most people have never seen it before. Because this kind of "cabbage" only grows on the plateau where the altitude is very high, and can not be seen in the place where the altitude is low. It often grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is called the first of the "auspicious three treasures" by the local people.

The main reason for this plant is that its leaves look like cabbage, and then its stem grows up like lettuce, and the leaves droop in the shape of a pagoda, so it is named "Ta Huang". It and snow lotus, Rhodiola and become the plateau "auspicious three treasures", it also ranks first. The environment of the plateau is very bad, as we all know, so there are few plant species that can grow on the plateau. Tahuang is one of the few plants that can grow in large quantities on the plateau, which is more than Saussurea and Rhodiola.

However, it ranks first not because of its large number, but because of its precious medicinal value. In Tibetan Materia Medica, it is called "Qumazi". The book says that its whole grass can cure "yellow water disease", that is, it can cure ascites disease. In another book, Yunnan Provincial Chronicles, it is recorded that its root can cure the epidemic, which is a very important medicinal material in ancient times.

Tower yellow taste bitter, cold, with the role of purging fire, stagnation, dispersing blood stasis, detumescence, now people often use it to mash after external application, the treatment of injury, skin swelling. The environment on the plateau is bad, the winter is long, and many of the plants growing in the ice and snow have the effect of dispelling cold and blood stasis, among which Ta Huang can not be ignored. After it is uprooted by the local people, after simple treatment, it will be sold to the purchaser of medicinal materials for a price of more than 100 jin.

As more and more people travel to Tibet, many people get to know Tahuang, understand its function, and are accepted and loved by people. Friends, have you ever seen Ta Huang?
