云南白药
“云南白药”原名“曲焕章白药”,也称“百宝丹”。它是中国西南部云南省的重要特产之一,也是一种传统的名牌中成药。因为疗效显著,所以它在国际上享有“灵丹妙药”的美誉。
云南省素有“动植物王国”之称,这里的药用植物、动物资源和药材品类,都居中国之首,是著名的“药材之乡”。这些特殊的自然条件促进了云南白药的产生和发展。1914年,民间医生曲焕章选用当地出产的名贵中药材,配以特殊秘方研制出“白药”。1922年白药作为商品开始供应市场,受到社会各界的一致好评。过去云南白药的产量很少,价格昂贵。新中国成立后,曲焕章的儿子曲万珍将秘方无偿献给国家,白药也正式改名为“云南白药”。国家还专门建立了云南白药厂,扩大了生产规模,提高了产品质量。1980年,“云南白药”一举荣获国家优质产品金质奖章。
云南白药以当地特产的名贵中药材“三七”为主要成分,配以多种中草药制成。具有止血愈伤、活血散瘀、排脓解毒、调经定痛、抗炎消肿等特殊功效。主治金创出血、跌打损伤、慢性胃痛、喉咙肿痛、十二指肠溃疡以及多种妇科疾病。近年来医学界还发现,云南白药对于患有肺结核、脉管炎、癌症的患者,具有减轻症状的疗效。
Yunnan White Drug-Powder
Yunnan Baiyao (White Drug-Powder), famed as miraculous cure worldwide, is surely the best known traditional medicine of Yunnan Province in Southwest China.
Reputed as the Kingdom of Fauna and Flora, Yunnan Province boasts the most resources of medical plants, medical animals and traditional herbs in China, in terms of breeds. Therefore, Yunnan is also famed as the home for herbs. Its natural condition is good for the cultivation of White Drug-Powder. In 1914, folk doctor Qu Huangzhang carefully chose some precious herbs and developed White Drug-Powder with secret formulas. When White Drug-Powder began its distribution, it soon gained universal recognition with its high quality and curative effect, although it was quite costly due to exiguity of raw materials.
After liberation, Qu Huangzhang donated his secret formula to the government, and soon Yunnan White Drug-Powder Factory was set up to produce the medicine in batches and improve the quality. In 1980, Yunnan White Drug-Powder won the top prize of national high-quality product.
Yunnan White Drug-Powder contains raw and steamed pseudo-ginseng to normalize circulation and heal broken blood vessels. These are combined with astringent herbs such as myrrh and antiseptic herbs to heal wounds. The remedy comes packaged as loose powder and in capsules along with a tiny red ball recommended for serious injury. The formula works to normalize blood flow and heal wounds quickly so that excess bleeding, swelling, bruising, and pain are more quickly resolved.
Yunnan White Drug-Powder is mainly used for gunshot and puncture wounds, oozing slow-healing sores, bug bites, chronic gastralgia pain and bleeding stomach ulcers.
