Tu Youyou's Nobel Prize in Medicine is to be honest, most of the Nobel Prize in Medicine should be awarded to Ge Hong. Artemisia annua This plant has the effect of treating malaria , but to make its efficacy more significant and can be sent in batches to malaria patients around the world, it needs to be purified and made into tablets, injections, suppositories, etc. The purification method of
is generally very simple, heating and distillation and other technologies are the most common and effective method, but it is very strange that the concentrate obtained each time is basically ineffective for malaria, and it is not as effective as the original whole artemisia root. Is there any unknown element in Artemisia annua that has not been purified? I can't figure it out. The study has been stagnant. Finally, I found this sentence in " elbow reserve emergency prescription " written by Ge Hong, "As soon as I grasp Artemisia annua, use two liters of water to stain it, squish it and take it all." I suddenly realized that Artemisia annua cannot be heated. Just rub it out of juice, but it will fail once it is heated. Then Tu Youyou switched to ether to extract artemisinin and successfully won Nobel Prize .
Ge Hong's age is more than 1,700 years ago, and his wife Bao Gu invented moxibustion. You say that our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine is not magical.
