What are Chinese herbal pieces?
Chinese herbal pieces refer to Chinese herbal medicines and their processed processed processed products that can be directly used in preparation or preparation under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory. Chinese herbal pieces are not only the necessary traditional weapons for TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also the important raw materials of Chinese patent medicine. Their unique processing theories and methods all embody the profound wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. With the continuous improvement and maturity of the processing theory of Chinese herbal pieces, it has become an important means of clinical disease prevention and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. With the promulgation and implementation of the Chinese Medicine Law, the Chinese medicine industry has ushered in a golden period of development. Among the main economic indicators of the pharmaceutical industry released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology from 20 17- 1-9, the processing of Chinese herbal pieces grew fastest, with a growth rate of 17.2%.

With the rapid development of the industry, Chinese herbal pieces frequently appear on the "black list" of quality, and the exposure frequency of unqualified drugs is still quite high. On February 2nd, China Food and Drug Administration reported that 65 batches of Chinese herbal pieces produced by 6 1 enterprise were unqualified. Less than half a month ago, the Food and Drug Administration notified 17 batches of unqualified drugs, all of which were Chinese herbal pieces.

The problem notified by the Food and Drug Administration is not a case, which reflects that there are indeed problems such as shoddy and fake sales in the field of Chinese herbal pieces. The problem of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces mainly involves unqualified detection items such as pesticide residues, properties and content determination, among which there are many commonly used medicinal materials produced by well-known pharmaceutical companies, including Amomum villosum, Codonopsis pilosula, Alum and Radix Isatidis.

The reasons why Chinese herbal pieces have repeatedly been on the "black list" of quality include:

1. The standard is backward. For example, the processing standard of Chinese herbal pieces in a province was formulated by 1986.

I haven't adapted yet.

The need of industrial development and backward standards have seriously affected the promotion of Chinese herbal medicine industry.

2. Long circulation links and weak quality control. In the actual processing of Chinese herbal pieces, ginseng

There are many followers and complicated links. For example, some Chinese herbal pieces passed the sampling inspection at the factory, but some indicators, such as gray scale and humidity, failed in the sampling inspection of downstream enterprises because of the long circulation link and lax control. For example, the content of heavy metals in the soil planted in the upper reaches exceeds the standard, pesticides are sprayed indiscriminately, the production and processing methods in the middle reaches are wrong, and the downstream circulation is polluted. All these will cause quality problems.

3. There are practical difficulties in supervision. "Small workshops" abound, in the name of primary processing in the place of origin, but in fact, the "small workshops" that process Chinese herbal pieces support the production and supply of many Chinese herbal pieces with the advantages of low cost and convenience. This makes it difficult for the regulatory authorities to effectively supervise and repeatedly ban. At the same time, the current regulatory measures are not accurate enough. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine theory and processing method are used in Chinese herbal pieces, and the theory and detection method of western medicine are not completely applicable.

The curative effect of Chinese herbal pieces is very important to the curative effect. If the quality problem of Chinese herbal pieces is allowed to spread, it will not only damage everyone's trust in Chinese medicine, but also be detrimental to the sustainable development of Chinese medicine.
