How to preserve precious traditional Chinese medicine?
Cold storage of cordyceps sinensis: to preserve cordyceps sinensis, it should be placed in a ventilated, cool and dry place to prevent moisture and insects. If you want to keep it for a long time, you can put Cordyceps sinensis in a glass container, seal the bottle mouth, and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. You can also mix Cordyceps sinensis with Zanthoxylum bungeanum or Cortex Moutan for preservation, which can prolong the shelf life. After the medicinal materials are damp, they should be exposed to the sun in time.
Storage of ginseng with white sugar: Select a sealable container, spread fresh non-caking white sugar with a thickness of about 2-3cm on the bottom of the container, put ginseng on it, cover the reference plane of 1-2cm with white sugar, seal it, put it in a cool place, take it as needed when using it, and then cover it tightly.
Crocus sativus and notoginseng are sealed in porcelain jars: Crocus sativus is put in a small sealed porcelain jar and kept in a cool place. Be careful to keep oily all the time. Panax notoginseng should be stored in dry gray wooden cases.
Pepper moth-proof velvet antler and gecko: It is best to wrap them with fine cloth when storing, and put them in small camphor wood boxes, suitcases or gray wooden boxes for sealed storage. Before Buffon gets better, add a little pepper to prevent insects from eating. The velvet antler powder should be packed in porcelain bottles; Gecko is easy to be moldy, moth-eaten, and easy to take off its tail. Don't forget to add pepper when preserving clams, and pay attention to protecting the tail, because the tail of clams is the main medicinal part.
In addition, precious traditional Chinese medicines such as pearl powder and musk can be packed in small bottles with small mouths and sealed in a cool and dry place to prevent divergence and "drug effect". Bird's nest should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry place or in a lime box. Musk is forbidden to be put together with aromatic drugs such as borneol and menthol. Powdered precious drugs should be shaken frequently during storage to prevent induration.
