Jinzhai County is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, with a natural environment suitable for Tianma production and a long history of wild Tianma.

How to distinguish the authenticity of Jinzhai Tianma

Common false gastrodia in the market include the roots of the purple jasmine plant, the Dali chrysanthemum plant, the hairy crab beetle plant, the potato plant, the red climbing tuber of the gourd plant, the root of the Shanglu plant, the Qiangxianglu plant, and the rhizome of the banana plant. The shape of these plant rhizomes is very similar to gastrodia, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, so it is necessary to master the essentials for identification. According to the experience of experienced pharmacists, the method of distinguishing genuine and fake Tianma can be summarized as follows: Tianma is long, flat, slightly curved, with more than ten circles of dotted ring patterns; The top of the head has a stem based parrot beak, and the scar at the bottom looks like a round navel. If it cannot be identified again, experts need to be consulted for microscopic and physicochemical identification

Tasting and eating methods of Jinzhai Tianma

1. Tianma should not be fried together for a long time. The main component of gastrodia elata is gastrodin, which is highly volatile when exposed to heat. The co decoction of Tianma and other medicines will lose the effective ingredients of sedation and analgesia due to heat. Therefore, it is best to moisten Tianma with a small amount of water first, and then cut it into thin slices after softening. After drying or sun drying, grind it into powder and take it with decoction or grind it into pills or powders
