The black thing that grows out of the dead man's mouth is called Ferula, which means that the dead man has used opium all his life. There is a chance to grow this medicine after death. Very rare.
Ferula Ferula is a valuable Chinese medicine, which is produced in Xifan and has a bad smell.
Another way of saying this is that it comes from a cemetery, a fungus that grows through the coffin lid of the deceased. Its roots are in the mouth of the deceased, and the deceased must have smoked opium before his death.
It is said that Ferula can treat many diseases and is a panacea, but it is very rare and difficult to find. Most people have never seen it, so many Ferula in pharmacies were fake before.
So the ancients lamented: "Scutellaria baicalensis is not fake, but Ferula is not true."
In fact, Ferula is a perennial one-off flowering plant. Ferula gum has medicinal value, is a good medicine for treating rheumatoid arthritis and gastropathy, and is widely used in ethnic medicine. As early as the Tang dynasty, there were records of Ferula in medical books, and the medicinal value of Ferula was also recorded in medical books of past dynasties. Before liberation, Ferula Sinkiangensis was unknown to the world, and all domestic medicinal gums were imported from Iran and Afghanistan. There are 20 varieties of Ferula Sinkiangensis in 1958, of which two varieties are listed in Pharmacopoeia: Ferula Sinkiangensis and Ferula Fukang. Ferula Sinkiangensis was distributed in Baishidun Village, Kashi Township, Yining County, with a density of 30,000-40,000 mu at that time, and Ferula Fukang was distributed in Fukang. Since then, China has ended the history of importing Ferula.
I heard from my grandfather that in the old society, someone got this precious Chinese medicine. My grandfather's uncle once had tuberculosis. It is this panacea that has been cured.
Such medicine can be said to exist as a god.
