The main function of Codonopsis pilosula is to tonify qi. It is particularly effective for symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, weak voice, shortness of breath, and weakness in the lungs after minimal exertion. It is also recommended for individuals with spleen and stomach qi deficiency, who may experience limb weakness, poor appetite, loose stools, and general exhaustion. Codonopsis is often combined with Atractylodes, Astragalus, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, forming the well-known Sijunzi Decoction, which is widely used to strengthen the spleen and boost qi.
For cases where both lung and spleen qi are deficient, Codonopsis is frequently paired with Astragalus, Atractylodes, Poria, Chenpi (tangerine peel), Angelica, Cimicifuga, Bupleurum, Zhigancao (processed licorice), ginger, and jujube. This combination forms the famous Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, known for its ability to lift and strengthen the middle energizer.
Codonopsis not only enhances qi but also helps nourish blood, making it beneficial for individuals suffering from both qi and blood deficiency. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, pale complexion, dizziness, poor appetite, soft stools, and frequent colds can be alleviated by taking Codonopsis. Scientific studies have shown that Codonopsis can increase red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels, making it helpful for anemic patients. Additionally, due to its immune-boosting properties, it supports the recovery of white blood cells in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
In recent years, research has also found that when combined with Astragalus and Atractylodes, Codonopsis can help reduce urinary protein in patients with chronic nephritis, offering further therapeutic benefits.
Regarding the machine cutting method: There are various types of cutting machines available across the country, each with different power levels. These machines are characterized by high production capacity, fast speed, time-saving, reduced labor intensity, and improved efficiency. However, there is a growing need to upgrade and improve existing machines to allow for the production of multiple piece sizes, which remains a key challenge in the industry.
During operation, the softened medicinal materials are neatly placed on the conveyor belt or into the hopper and then pressed. As the machine rotates, the material is transported to the blade, where it is cut into specific sizes.
1. **Scythe-type Cutting Machine**: Commonly referred to as a traditional Chinese medicine slicer, this machine features a simple structure, strong adaptability, and high power. It is suitable for cutting roots, rhizomes, and whole herbs. During use, the medicinal material is placed on the machine table, and the machine is started to feed the material into the knife bed via a conveyor belt. The thickness of the slices can be adjusted using an eccentric mechanism. However, it is not ideal for cutting granular medicines.
2. **Rotary Cutting Machine**: Divided into four parts—power, propulsion, slicing, and adjustment—this machine is designed to handle granular medicines such as Pinellia, Areca nut, and Corydalis. The granules are placed in a holder, flattened, and pressed to ensure even feeding and uniform slicing. Whole grass medicines are not suitable for this type of machine.
3. **Multi-function Cutting Machine**: Primarily used for rhizome, block, and fruit-based medicinal materials, this machine can produce wafers, straight pieces, and various oblique cuts. Its structural features include a compact size, light weight, high efficiency, low noise, ease of operation and maintenance, no mechanical delivery during cutting, and different drug inlets based on the diameter of the material to ensure quality.
