The top ten scarce medicinal herbs in China (the most needed medicinal herbs in the market suitable for lazy people to grow)

The application scope of Chinese medicinal materials in our country is very wide. Many medicinal materials have been in short supply in the market, and the prices of these medicinal materials are also very expensive.

Ranking of scarce medicinal materials

Common scarce medicinal materials include Bupleurum chinense, Wild Gastrodia elata, Paris polyphylla, Scutellaria baicalensis , etc. Although these medicinal materials are currently in short supply, the market prospects are very good and growers can seize the opportunity.

There are many areas in places like the northern region, Sichuan, Fujian, Hunan, etc. that are more suitable for growing medicinal materials, especially some medicinal materials projects do not require too much planting technology, and are more suitable for lazy people to grow .

The top ten scarce medicinal materials are fangfeng, astragalus, wild gastrodia elata, paridis, platycodon, rehmannia, snow lotus, rhodiola rosea, belamcanda chinensis, bupleurum, polygonatum, and calamus .

Acorus calamus

Due to the continuous depletion of wild resources and the difficulty in obtaining large quantities of goods from the production area, the market for Acorus calamus has not been calm recently and has a rising trend. However, in just a few years, Acorus calamus resources have become scarce because of the crazy digging of Acorus calamus.

The calamus that used to overflow along the riverside is now just bare rocks. Today, wild calamus is a very precious medicinal material, with a price of about 30 yuan per catty.

Polygonatum

Due to the sharp decrease in wild polygonatum resources and the increasing demand, the price of polygonatum has been rising since 2014. The market for polygonatum cultivation can be simply divided into three aspects: fresh polygonatum market, seed stem market, and general market.

The artificial cultivation of Polygonatum sibiricum started relatively late. Before 2016, Polygonatum sibiricum was one of the 30 most scarce medicinal materials in China , and the supply circulating in the market basically came from wild Polygonatum sibiricum.

Windproof

Fangfeng is a common and precious medicinal material in my country. In folk culture, it is also called Huiyun, Huicao, etc. Its main characteristic is that it likes shade. In recent years, due to its rising price, only a small amount is planted.

Astragalus

At present, the price of astragalus in the market is about 15-20 yuan per catty. If it is good quality, the price will be much higher. Therefore, planting astragalus is also a good choice for farmers to make a fortune.

Wild Gastrodia

Wild Gastrodia elata is a precious Chinese medicinal material. As the demand increases year by year, the supply is insufficient, resulting in a very tight market. Therefore, the key to making money is to simulate the planting environment of wild Gastrodia elata and plant wild Gastrodia elata on a large scale.

Paris polyphylla

Paris polyphylla is quite common in Yunnan. Since wild Paris polyphylla is harvested on a large scale, artificial cultivation is more common. Paris polyphylla can be applied externally to reduce swelling and relieve pain, but it is slightly poisonous so do not let it come into contact with your mouth.

Platycodon grandiflorum

Platycodon grandiflorum is a special plant because it can be used as a medicinal material and also eaten as a vegetable. It has a huge market demand and is often out of stock.

Platycodon grandiflorum is a common variety in the Chinese medicinal material market, suitable for planting in northern mountainous areas, hilly areas, grasslands, wastelands, etc. The process of planting Platycodon grandiflorum is not technically difficult. It is a good planting project with low investment and high benefits, and it is a medicinal material project suitable for lazy people to plant .

Rehmannia root

Rehmannia root, also known as raw rehmannia root and cooked rehmannia root, is a relatively common Chinese herbal medicine. Due to its unique efficacy and significant medicinal effects, it is used in large quantities. At the same time, a large amount of Rehmannia root produced in China is also exported abroad, which leads to a shortage of supply in the market.

Snow Lotus

Snow lotus is a precious high-mountain medicinal material. It generally grows in high-altitude and cold mountainous areas such as Xinjiang and Qinghai. Due to its rarity, it is very expensive.

Rhodiola rosea

The cost of artificial domestication of Rhodiola rosea is very high, so the cost of artificial cultivation remains high. Due to the small supply, it is a very scarce Chinese medicinal material in the market, and one pound can be sold for more than 40 yuan.

Beam

The selling price of Shegan is 40-50 yuan per kilogram. In addition, since it takes two years to harvest Shegan, the price is expected to continue to rise in the future.

Bupleurum chinense

Many people have heard of Bupleurum, but few have heard of Northern Bupleurum, which is also called Black Bupleurum. It has antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Currently, Northern Bupleurum is in great demand in the market.
