?I was harmed by the fake cloud fire vine!
A few days ago, I saw Uncle Wen’s article on the public account and bought a 20-year-old wild cloud fire vine from a certain treasure.
After the courier arrived, I soaked it in wine and applied it according to the instruction manual. After applying it, my skin became red, swollen and itchy, as if there were countless ants crawling on my body. I couldn’t bear it anymore so I scratched it with my hands. Because I often scratched with my hands, I was left with red marks and bloody scabs.
Unexpectedly, it caused a secondary skin infection and led to folliculitis. Now I take oral antibiotics every day, but Bactoban has no effect.
Later, I used the built-in search function of the shopping software and was surprised to find that what I bought was not the cloud fire vine at all but the winter rubesia.
The first picture in the picture below is Rubescens australis, and the second one is the real Cloud Fire Vine!
Some businessmen used Rubesia rubescens to pass it off as Cloud Fire Vine
Genuine Cloud Fire Vine
I later checked the information on the Internet and found out that those so-called cloud fire vines on the Internet Wild cloud fire vines are faked by some vendors in Bozhou, Anhui using other plants.
The wild cloud fire vine in Siberia was on the verge of extinction 50 years ago. Because the conditions for the growth of wild cloud fire vine are extremely harsh and must survive in extremely cold conditions of more than 30 degrees below zero, it is now on the market. Most of the cloud fire vines sold online are artificially grown in the mountainous areas of Northeast China.
Yunhuo Vine has very high soil requirements and can only survive in the black soil of the Northeast. Moreover, one acre of land can only produce a few dozen kilograms, and it takes 6 years of growth to reach maturity. Therefore, Yunhuo Vine that is less than 6 years old has no effect.
The Yunhuo Vine that has grown for more than 15 years is very rare and rare.
Therefore, the price of Yunhuo Vine in the medicinal material market has been 900-1,200 yuan per pound for many years. However, those on the Internet often claim to be wild Yunhuo Vine from Siberia that has been growing for more than 20 years. It's just nonsense.
Most of the wild cloud fire vines on the market are fake Rubescens oryx, Bangbangui, and Houttuynia cordata. Here are some pictures of fake products for your comparison and reference.
Rubbergrass is used to fake Yunhuo Vine
Bangbangui is used to fake Yunhuo Vine
Houttuynia Cordata is used to fake Yunhuo Vine
There are also some merchants who directly grind other expired and moldy plants into powder and use them to pass off as cloud fire vines, trying to make people unable to distinguish the fake ones from the real ones.
Houttuynia cordata, Gangbangui, etc. are all livestock feed. The price is very cheap, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and long-term use will cause certain harm to the body.
Recently, many friends on the Internet said that they bought fake Yunhuo Teng. Not only did the effect not be good, but they also got herpes and folliculitis. It aggravated the condition and it was really not worth the loss.
If you really can’t tell whether what you bought is the real Yunhuo Vine, you can go to the Baidu Picture Recognition website to upload product pictures, and you can also long-press the product title to enter the search function of the same style that comes with the shopping software.
Many similar products will be identified, and you will know the specific situation once you try it.
