Introduction to Tibetan medicine (processing technique of seventy flavor pearl pill Saitai)

Applicant: Qinghai Jinhe Tibetan Medicine Co., Ltd

Tibetan medicine is an important part of Chinese traditional medicine and an important representative of Chinese national medicine.

Tibetan medicine has a long history. It is the medical experience accumulated by Tibetan people in the special environment of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Its classic work "four medical classics" was written in the Tubo Dynasty in the second half of the 8th century. It was written by the famous Tibetan medicine expert Yutuo Gongbu on New Year's day. The combination of Tibetan medicine and Tibetan astronomy and calendar is a huge and complex medical system. Tibetan medicine is based on the theory of "water, fire, earth, wind and air" and the theory of "dragon, Chiba and Bacon". It takes the plants, animals, minerals and some "Southern medicine" of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau as the basic medicine, and adopts the practice mode of adapting to the plateau environment and nomadic life, It has a unique curative effect on common diseases, frequently occurring diseases and endemic diseases in high altitude hypoxia environment, and its health culture has been paid more and more attention by the medical community.

Due to the vast territory of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, high mountains and steep waters, the ethnic and regional characteristics of Tibetan medicine culture are obvious, and the diagnosis, medical technology and medicine of Tibetan medicine are often different in different regions and schools. In recent decades, with the construction of Tibetan medicine and the extensive development of academic exchanges, the inheritance and promotion of Tibetan medicine have made remarkable achievements.

Seventy flavor pearl pill, translated as "rannasanpei" in Tibetan, is the top and most representative precious Tibetan medicine. The "Saitai" Seventy flavor pearl pill, processed by "gold processing method", has distinctive inclusiveness, remarkable regionality and strong nationality.

After more than 40 days of processing and more than 300 processes, the gold contains eight metals, such as gold and silver. The eight minerals are called "Saitai", which is an indispensable key component of seventy flavor pearl pills. This compound can not be used as a medicine alone. Once it is added into other prescriptions, it can turn decay into magic. It is one of the most important ingredients of seventy flavor pearl pill. If seventy flavor pearl pill does not contain "Saitai" ingredients, it will lose its medicinal value.

As an important method of Tibetan medicinal materials and the essence of Tibetan medicine practice, Tibetan medicine scholars have attached great importance to the practice and inheritance of this technology for thousands of years, enabling this technology to carry forward. Under the impact of modern medicine, people's understanding of Tibetan medicine is not scientific enough, which restricts the development of Tibetan medicine.
