Basic Introduction of Yichang Tianma

Tianma, also known as Red Arrow, is a precious medicinal and edible herb. Its medicinal value was explained in the Han Dynasty's "Shennong Bencao Jing" and the Ming Dynasty's outstanding medical expert Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica"

There are fleshy and thick tubers underground, which are long, oval, slightly flattened, wrinkled and curved, with varying sizes. The surface is yellow white or light yellow brown, semi transparent, and has segmented ring patterns. The seeds of Tianma are very small and can only be seen under a microscope at 500 times magnification, making cultivation quite difficult. In the past, people did not understand the growth laws of Tianma, so it was called a "divine medicine"

Method of making Yichang Tianma

Tianma infused liquor: The following measurements are all in catties. Three to five pieces of Gastrodia elata are boiled for about 10 minutes, washed, drained, soaked in 5-10 jin of high Baijiu, added with 3-5 seahorses, 3 American ginseng for cooling the fire, half jin of Chinese wolfberry, and half jin of rock sugar broken into small particles and powder, which can be freely drunk after 3 days. Or at a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to prepare Tianma liquor according to the individual's physical condition. Tianma tea: After boiling Tianma for 20 minutes, slice and sun dry two slices each time. Brew with boiling water and drink. Depending on personal preference, add an appropriate amount of tea leaves and steep together to promote health and strengthen the body

Stir fry Tianma: Stir fry or boil fresh Tianma like yams or potatoes, slice it thinly and boil it in boiling water for about 7 seconds, stir fry lightly, add chopped green onions, garlic sprouts and other ingredients, immediately remove from the pot, and serve as a dish.
