Clematis: a health tea covered with "magic medicine"

With the warming of the weather, the "health tea" in the tea market of Taiyuan keeps heating up, and the price is about 10000 yuan per Jin Over the past few days, the reporter found in the survey that it is actually the marketing strategy of merchants to deliberately publicize their scarcity with the help of therapeutic gimmicks "Fairy grass" is suitable for all ages to ask: can you make tea, can be used as medicine, can you cook? "I haven't heard of it before, but suddenly it's popular." Shi Wenji, the boss of Shanxi Guowen decoration company, has found that when he comes to the office of some friends or bosses, he can always find the figure of the golden thread lotus The owner will pick out several dried stems and leaves of the golden thread lotus and put them on the teapot The golden thread lotus is becoming a health tea and investment product for high-end people "A lot of people are studying the lotus recently I also drink the tea made by the lotus It's very light and expensive." "It's said that it can not only make tea, but also be used as medicine It can also be used for cooking, just like fairy grass," Mr Shi said In the middle of March, the reporter visited Taiyuan tea market and found that there are many tea shops selling the golden thread lotus When asked about the efficacy of the golden thread lotus, the salesperson is often told that it can nourish yin and strengthen Yang, improve immunity, resist fatigue, regulate blood lipid, beautify the face and health care, etc., and it is suitable for the old, the young, the sick, the weak and the weak "There's Cordyceps in the north, and there's Clematis in the south." Mr Lin, the owner of a tea shop in Qianfeng Road, told reporters that the "health tea" of the lotus they sell is a kind of precious Chinese herbal medicine produced in Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong and other places According to folklore, it has the effect of treating all kinds of diseases and is called "the king of medicine" In the introduction advertisement of the lotus in boss Lin's shop, it lists all kinds of magic effects of the lotus: "it is mainly used for the treatment of lung heat cough, tuberculosis hemoptysis, blood urination, infantile convulsion, tetanus, nephritis and edema, rheumatism and arthralgia, bruise, snake bite, bronchitis, vesicitis, diabetes, hematuria, acute and chronic hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumor and other difficult diseases, It's also good for acne " The reporter found that all dealers use the lotus as a magic medicine to promote However, tea belongs to food, which is contrary to the provisions of Article 7 of the Interim Provisions of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce on the publication of food advertisements: "food advertisements shall not be confused with drugs, shall not directly or indirectly publicize the therapeutic effect of the food, and shall not express or imply the therapeutic effect of the food with the help of the publicity of certain ingredients", which is a false propaganda behavior and constitutes fraud Price soared by ten thousand yuan per Jin: packaging, hoarding and speculation are the main reasons for the soaring price With the title of "magic medicine", the price of lotus rose rapidly Businesses will not let go of this business opportunity, have made a gift of the banner, with beautiful packaging to attract attention, with "natural" and "wild" to stimulate consumers "Now the gold lotus is cheap at 8000 yuan per Jin I also sell it cheaply because the construction road needs to be built." The owner of a Fujian tea shop on Jianshe Road told reporters, "good lotus is sold by grams The most expensive one is more than 100 yuan, which is more than 50000 yuan per Jin." At a tea shop on Qianfeng Road, the waiter claimed: "there are all kinds of flounder in any grade The cheapest one Jin is 6000 yuan, and the most expensive wild one Jin is 39800 yuan." Compared with the physical stores, the online stores sell the golden thread lotus cheaper For example, one kind of "Huboliao golden thread Lotus" on taobao.com sells for 3180 yuan in 144 grams, or more than 11000 yuan per Jin; one kind of "Rulan organic golden thread Lotus" sells for 4800 yuan in 144 grams, or about 16666 yuan per Jin; the other kind of "grass classic golden thread Lotus" sells for 3300 yuan in 75 grams It's 22000 yuan Zhuang guangui of Fujian Chamber of Commerce in Shanxi Province confirmed to the reporter that in Fujian Province, the main producing area of the lotus, the price of the lotus has also been on the rise "For high-quality dry products of the lotus, at the end of 2009, a Jin is only more than 2000 yuan In 2010, it has risen to 4000 to 5000 yuan, in 2011, it has risen to 10000 yuan, by the end of 2013, it is nearly 20000 yuan Since this year, it has risen a little." Mr Zhuang told reporters that there are four kinds of lotus, which are wild, planted under the forest, planted in the greenhouse and cultivated without soil As a result, the quality of lotus varies Some of them can be bought in the place of origin of less than 1000 yuan "Most of them are of low quality and poor sales in Shanxi market, so they should not be sold at such a high price As early as 1990, the Wild Clematis was listed as an endangered plant under local protection in Fujian Province How could it be circulated in large quantities? " "This is not normal." Mr Zhuang said that in recent years, the planting area of anoectoria roxburghii in Fujian Province has expanded a lot and its output has also increased greatly But curiously, the market price has been rising, and the demand is still high At a tea shop near the Changfeng supermarket, the owner said that there was no stock for the lotus to be sold out, and only accepted the reservation, "30000 yuan for the wild, 18000 yuan for the artificial planting." "There is another important reason for the high price of the lotus, which is the artificial promotion and packaging The reason why some people spare no effort to advocate the lotus, which is almost the same as the real estate developers hype house prices Zhang Haibin, chairman of Shanxi Maoxuan real estate company, believes that some people fish in troubled waters and make huge profits by means of packaging, hoarding, speculation and fraud, which is the main reason for the soaring price of the lotus "Magic medicine" is not the conclusion of Medicine: how to treat the disease with lotus? There is no scientific basis "In fact, Clematis is not a traditional Chinese medicine." Liu Yunli, a pharmacology expert at China University of traditional Chinese medicine, told reporters that despite the fierce hype and all kinds of magical effects, the legal Pharmacopoeia of China has never included the lotus "Clematis is not medicine at all It's just a common orchid " Liu Yunli said that, in fact, every day around the world, all kinds of natural products are extracted from nature for medical research There are many common natural products in vegetables and fruits, which also show such effects as anti-cancer and improving immunity in preliminary research According to the existing research results, the anticancer and immunity enhancing effects of Clematis are not higher than those of these common vegetables and fruits, and it is impossible to be a "magic drug" Up to now, there is no medicine or method in the world that can completely cure hypertension and diabetes The treatment guidelines for this kind of disease all over the world are aimed at prolonging life and controlling symptoms "If Clematis can cure hypertension and diabetes, it's a major breakthrough in the history of medicine." She said that there is no scientific basis for the claim that Clematis can cure diseases, and the claim that cancer can be treated is far from the truth "Don't believe in magic medicine There is no magic medicine in the world." Liu Yunli said that we should guide the public to advocate science and oppose superstition, improve the public's immunity to "magic medicine", so that "magic medicine" has no market, no demand, no hiding place At the same time, it is suggested that relevant departments should strengthen supervision and severely punish those so-called "magic drugs" that cheat the public Viewpoint: Clematis, the next Cordyceps? "Clematis, the real chance to make money, the next Cordyceps! Only ten thousand yuan is needed now, and there will be billions of wealth in the future! Heart is not as good as action, call the franchise phone! " In some online forums and information platforms, the promotion of the lotus has become a myth With the rapid rise of the price of lotus, more and more people and funds have come into the market to invest in the planting, processing, sales and packaging of lotus Some people even think that Clematis has become a "potential stock" in Chinese herbal medicine According to this speed, it may become the next Cordyceps sinensis The artificial cultivation of Anoectochilus is slowly overflowing This kind of thing that can be simply mass-produced is the magic medicine fairy grass? Once known as the fairy grass that can rise from the dead, it gradually becomes common after being unveiled Now the lotus is also performing a similar myth When the scientific guidance is not clear, the market is highly operable, but there are many uncertainties The destruction of many wealth stories is exactly the same, from consumption to investment, from investment to speculation, until finally, in the bubble of crazy speculation Identification of authenticity of related knowledge: the leaves of Clematis aurea are interactive, with smooth leaf margin, yellow green leaf surface, dark green for Taiwan Clematis aurea, and dark purple red on the back of both leaves Species identification: Fujian clematis, the vein golden fine reticulation, while Taiwan Clematis is white, Yunnan and Vietnam Clematis large leaf shape, golden reticulation thick and sparse Quality identification: the plant is large and complete, the stem is long and thin, the leaves are complete without falling off, the roots are free of sediment, and the products with clear fragrance are the best.
