A common plant in rural areas is a rare and precious medicinal material in China. Have you seen it?

There are always some unremarkable things in life that will be ignored, and some will even be mistaken for "garbage" because of their ugly appearance, such as the plant in the picture, Wuling God. The same is true for people, but they don't know that this plant is a national treasure rare medicinal material.

Wuling ginseng grows on the abandoned nest of black-winged termites 0.5 to 2 meters underground. It is a sclerotium formed by mycelium of black stalk carbon, a rare Chinese medicinal material. Has high medicinal value. It has a good curative effect on nervous system and endocrine system diseases, which has attracted the attention of researchers all over the world. Because the growth environment and conditions of Wuling ginseng are very special, natural resources are very scarce. Wuling ginseng not only has medicinal value, but also has high collection value. It is a rare national treasure Chinese herbal medicine in China.

But it is because they grow on the nests abandoned by these ants, and their bodies are black, like small balls, which have always been disliked by rural people. I think this is a kind of poison, or a kind of garbage.

Wulingshen can tonify liver and kidney, strengthen spleen and regulate stomach, and can treat hepatitis and gastritis. There is a record about Wuling Shen in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Wuling Shen tastes sweet and flat, but it is non-toxic and full of yin deficiency." Wuling ginseng contains essential amino acids, protein, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin and other substances.
