From the point of view that all herbs are medicines, various Chinese herbal medicines can be found everywhere in some mountains with well-preserved natural ecological environment in rural areas. But when it comes to valuable Chinese herbal medicines, it is not easy to find them. Rare things are precious, and most valuable Chinese herbal medicines are rare and scarce.

So, what valuable Chinese herbal medicines are there in the mountains of rural areas at present? How to tell? Let me tell you something:

1, wild Dendrobium

Wild Dendrobium mainly grows in wet places in the mountains, such as wet rock cliffs, dense and wet old tree trunks or branches. Because the wild Dendrobium grows in a high and steep place, it is difficult and dangerous to collect Dendrobium in the mountains. At present, there are fewer and fewer wild Dendrobium, and it is not easy to find a wild Dendrobium. Its price naturally rises, generally at 200-400 yuan a catty, and dried Dendrobium flowers are even more expensive, some reaching 4,000 yuan a catty.

2. Wild Panax notoginseng

Panax notoginseng, especially in Yunnan, has always been famous in China, and its medicinal efficacy has always been respected. The Qing dynasty's pharmaceutical book compendium of materia medica once said that panax notoginseng is the first to replenish blood, and it is one of the most precious drugs in traditional Chinese medicine. As a valuable medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, wild Panax notoginseng is sold for several thousand yuan a catty.

3. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb

I remember when I was a child, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. could be seen everywhere on the hillside of our local countryside, climbing densely. Later, many people knew that it could be sold for money, and they went up the mountain to dig Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, so that it is basically extinct in our local mountain now. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb can generally be sold for tens to hundreds of yuan a catty.

4. Polyporus umbellatus

Polyporus umbellatus, also known as wild boar dung, pig excrement, wild boar food, etc., is a kind of fungus Chinese herbal medicine. Although Polyporus umbellatus looks dark and grotesque, its value is also very high. Generally, it is dug up to remove sediment, and the price is about 80-90 yuan per catty after drying.

In a word, it is more and more difficult to find and pick valuable Chinese herbal medicines in rural mountains. Although their prices are getting more and more expensive, there are fewer and fewer people collecting medicines in rural areas. At present, many Chinese herbal medicines are mainly cultivated artificially.
