    The beginning of winter is over, the weather turns cool, this should be a traditional tonic season of Chinese herbal medicine market is fraught, only some category smile. "National drug market by the special national consolidation, many varieties of market downturn and even rotten, wholesalers bulk business difficult to do, buyers wait-and-see sentiment strong." One industry source said.
 
    Judge medicinal material price, the most fundamental or see the market supply and demand, the first big hit - and for crops and scourge will lead to bullish. Chinese wolfberry several big producers cut at the same time, this year the price kept rising; Also affected by natural disasters and to decrease the yield of amomum, snow add scale planting, it began to the goods.
 
    However, in recent years, more and more Chinese herbal medicine price take turns sitting on "helicopters," don't push all to god? Careful observation, the more likely is caused by concealment "man-made", and the consequence of this is, after a couple of wave run-up, some category has rapid decline, and even the market not painful.
 
    "Notoginseng is a typical, fired two years earlier, the medical listed companies deliberately stockpiling notoginseng was checked, stock prices plummeted. And Chinese caterpillar fungus, the hot money after critical fry, myth and its effect to catch up with the big brake SongLiFeng, terminal consumers grow cold." Guangdong armed police hospital ent regions, director of the institute of lombok constant, according to Chinese herbal medicine market has a big ills, "gambling" speculators more admission, the part of the category and even "bad money after bad money", which medicinal materials once leap up is red, counterfeiting and mixing heavy or followed, thus some patients suspected prescription curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), no trust.
 
    Chinese herbal medicine situation awkward: long-term is favored because of can cure patents to keep fit, and national policy caress, but often as farmers are free to sell products, and supervision and spot check strength is far from enough, leading to the good and bad are intermingled, parody phenomenon is very serious. Recently the state food administration of drug safety exposes the 93 group of Chinese medicinal materials and yinpian unqualified list, "HeiBang" on dyeing, weight gain, adulteration, doping issues outstanding.
 
    Overall is still blundering market lead consumers to "want to say it is not easy to love you", some old traditional Chinese medicine so quiet even the bottom of the tank, the quality problem of the continuous exposure makes the "black swans" big theme plates, with the constant development of Chinese medicine overall due to the policy of good at the same time, hope medicinal materials from the source plant began to adjust the category, the careful cultivation, drug market circulation have more market regulation, to crack down on fake and inferior products and hot money speculation, drug firms to buy can also "basics" guard a pass strictly, not after the winter is cold spring.
