Basic Introduction to the Artificial Gastrodia elata of Feigu

Gastrodia elata was originally wild and mostly obtained by gathering. Through scientific experiments, the method of sexual reproduction was adopted to cultivate Gastrodia elata successfully. Its cultivation techniques and practical experience now have a mature theoretical basis, and the time is ripe for introduction and cultivation.

Accordingly, the Feigu Villagers' Committee of Delu Township, Xuanwei City, in the course of industrial structure adjustment, proceeded from actual conditions and, on the basis of thorough market research, carefully analyzed the local natural conditions such as soil structure, altitude, diurnal temperature difference, and climate environment, and concluded that the conditions for cultivating Gastrodia elata locally were already ripe, and that after trial planting in some villagers' committees, it could be further promoted. They therefore boldly made the attempt and introduced high-quality Gastrodia elata seeds from other places for planting. Over the past two years, yields have been stable, market @#@136@#@ channels have been smooth, and social and economic benefits have been good.

The successful cultivation of Gastrodia elata has found a new breakthrough for the township's planting structure adjustment. Guided by the idea of "one township, one industry; one village, one product," the high-quality Gastrodia elata grown by the Feigu Villagers' Committee of Delu Township has become a distinctive agricultural product with unique highlights for the village.

Gastrodia elata is a precious traditional Chinese medicine, with effects such as calming the liver and extinguishing wind and dispelling wind-dampness. It is suitable for symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vertigo, convulsions of the hands and feet, spasms, and rheumatic pain. In recent years, it has also been used effectively to treat hypertension, neurasthenia, and other conditions. The Gastrodia elata produced by the Feigu Villagers' Committee of Delu Township, Xuanwei City, is large in size, yellow-white in color, semi-transparent, and solid in texture, and is one of the representatives of artificial Gastrodia elata from Xuanwei.

Now, Gastrodia elata wine and Gastrodia elata pills, which use Gastrodia elata as the main raw material, are all popular Chinese patent medicines.
