In the face of the challenge of entering the GATT, conventional flowers are difficult to enter the hall of elegance, while the perfect combination of national flowers and auspicious fruit pomegranates, such as peony pomegranate trees, is undoubtedly the best flower tree species for the development of tourist attractions and the construction of garden-style cities, and it is also the preferred planting project for farmers to shake off poverty and become rich, and will become the most attractive investment hot spot in the flower market.

Magical "aroma"

Anyone who knows a little about medieval history knows that there was a plague that shocked the world and still makes people smell, and frightened people fell down before they could figure out what was going on. More than half of the people died in some places, some villages were wiped out, and more than 25 million people died in the blink of an eye. Even no one was spared from the hardest-hit areas ravaged by the plague. But afterwards, people were surprised to find that there was a kind of grass planted in front and behind the house, but miraculously no one died. After the epidemic, grass became popular in Europe instantly. This grass is called by European descendants as "the grass that does not dare to approach even plague and death"-sage. Now it has settled down in the future agricultural demonstration park in Qi County, Henan Province, a well-known enterprise with Chinese characteristics, and has begun to stride towards the main battlefield of building a social epidemic prevention system.

The Latin name of sage is' saivia', 'from English' safe',', meaning 'recovery'. Literally, it is a kind of epidemic, medicinal and health plant, so it enjoys the reputation of "curing all kinds of diseases". Europeans are fastidious in front of the house, courtyard, study, copywriting species or put a few, dozens of plants, in order to psychological balance, so that people have a sense of security, happiness!

Sage is so amazing because it is extremely rich in nutrients, containing 115.0 micrograms of the active substance SOD (superoxide dismutase) per 1 mg of fresh sample. In addition, it also contains picrin, flavonoids, tannic acid and other substances. It has the functions of antibacterial, epidemic prevention, anti-corrosion and contraction of soft tissue of the body. As early as the Middle Ages, it has been used in the treatment of constipation, malaria, colds, fever, stroke, liver disease and epilepsy. It can promote breathing, smooth blood flow, strengthen muscles and relax nerves. Therefore, the Italian has a famous saying: "it would be incredible if a guest died in his garden." He even said with great confidence, "if you have the countryside of Sylvia (sage), will there be death?"

China has a long history for the understanding and utilization of the aroma of aromatic plants. In the Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen, a famous physician in the Ming Dynasty, listed a large number of herbs, fragrant flowers and other plants with the functions of fitness, epidemic prevention and disease treatment. It has played a great role in the prevention and control of several major epidemic situations in the history of our country, including SARS and highly pathogenic avian influenza in recent years. For example, patchouli in the prevention of SARS and star anise in the prevention of bird flu have all come in handy and become the main force of the human decisive battle against the virus and are favored.

Why does aroma have the functions of epidemic prevention, health care and treatment of diseases? Professor Yang Chang, a famous fragrant plant expert in China, pointed out that this is because the oil cells of plant stems, leaves or flowers, once exposed to sunlight, can release a volatile aromatic oil, and the aroma volatiles can strongly stimulate people's respiratory center. promote the human body to inhale oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. As a result, the brain is given an adequate supply of oxygen and produces exuberant energy, thus making people's minds clear and agile. At the same time, with the spread of aroma, the number of cations in the air increases, which can further regulate the human nervous system and promote blood circulation, thus promoting the secretion of healthy hormones and body fluids by the corresponding organs of the human body. release enzymes, acetyl, ballast and other physiologically active substances, so as to achieve the role of harmonizing the function of the whole body organs and enhancing people's immunity and body vitality. Progressive and effective inhibition or treatment of the occurrence of various diseases.

With the deepening of scientific understanding of flavor products, the production and development of flavor products are becoming more and more prominent. Many people may have had such an experience: after a hard day's work and living, they occasionally feel relaxed and happy in the flowers and fragrance, and all troubles and fatigue disappear instantly, and their memory, understanding, judgment and decision-making on complex issues are significantly enhanced, and work efficiency is greatly improved. This effect is particularly peculiar to children. Some experts put a group of children before the age of 15 in vanilla and fragrant flowers, and after staying in them for a few hours, they found that even children with poor intelligence suddenly seemed to be a different person, thinking clearly and doing homework much easier. Some people still have the experience that when exposed to daffodils and violets, irascible and reckless people suddenly become relaxed and carefree; while living in the smell of geraniums for a long time, it can relax bronchial smooth muscle and relieve asthma; in apple aroma, it can reduce systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Piperaldehyde aroma can be used to reduce anxiety and depression during magnetic resonance imaging. Recently, it has also been found that there is a special fragrant smell, which can not only help people sleep peacefully and wake up early, but also change anxiety into calm and troubles into tenderness, thus changing people's mood and mood, and even behavior and life style, making people happy in life. In foreign countries, some people have begun to set up "fragrance hospitals", which use fragrance to regulate people's psychological and physiological functions and change people's mental state, so as to treat diseases and prevent health care. And in cardiovascular disease, hypertension, tracheitis, asthma, neurasthenia, insomnia and other diseases have begun to make breakthroughs. In view of the above-mentioned special functions of aromatic plant products and their strange role in human health and social development, some experts cry out that the time has come for aromatic plant products to show their skills. It is even asserted that the 21st century is the century of fragrant products, and the development of aromatic plants has a bright future.

At present, China's reform, opening up and construction have entered a new historical period. The structural adjustment of the national economy is changing rapidly around the global economic integration and social life from the well-off type to the well-off type. With the rapid development of economy, the aggravation of environmental pollution and its control, as well as the changes in the interest relationship among regions, groups and people in the process of introducing a series of reform measures, the competition for social survival has intensified, psychological pressure has increased day by day, and psychological tension. More and more people are perplexed by emotional irritability, melancholy and other problems. How to make people who are physically and mentally tired get mental relaxation and pleasure after work, so as to maintain a healthy physique and good competitive state, so as to deal with all kinds of situations, competition and pressure easily? it is a sharp problem that the whole society pays close attention to. Under this background, aromatic plant products appear on the stage and meet the market demand, driving away tiredness and tiredness for the large social groups that work hard at a fast pace in their spare time, and provide a kind of "neural regulator" and "relaxing agent" for people who are troubled by all kinds of trifles and diseases.
