China News Service, Ningde, October 3 (Wu Yunjie) During the National Day holiday, Langu Hot Spring, located in Lantian Village, Xitan Town, Fu'an City, Ningde, Fujian Province, has a medicated bath filled with mist. Many tourists come here to experience the unique She medicated bath.
The first phase of Langu Hot Spring, built on the mountain, is themed on She medicine for beauty and health. The hot spring water is rich in metasilicic acid and other minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Zhong Qing, a villager in Lantian Village and the representative inheritor of Ningde Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage of She Medicine (Fu'an), said that based on his many years of experience, he integrated She medicine with hot springs and innovatively launched She health medicinal bath hot springs, which are loved by young health-preserving people.
She medicine carries the profound wisdom accumulated by She compatriots in their production and life practices. It brings together many characteristic herbal prescriptions, diagnostic and treatment techniques, as well as unique planting, processing and traditional Chinese medicine techniques. It is a shining treasure in the national medicine treasure house, with both profound cultural value and broad development prospects.

Ningde Zherong County is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Pseudostellariae". It is the "Best Production Suitable Area" for single varieties of Pseudostellariae and one of the main distribution centers of Pseudostellariae in the country. The production and sales of Pseudostellariae account for 60% of the country's total. "Zherong Pseudostellariae" has been rated as a well-known trademark in China and a national geographical indication protected product.
Relying on its unique advantages, the value of Zhelong Pseudostellariae Radix Pseudostellariae in the field of general health has been explored step by step: at Fujian Mindong Lijiexun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the production line of compound Pseudostellariae Radix Pseudostellariae granules with Pseudostellariae as the core raw material is in busy operation; at Fujian Beidi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., scientific researchers Chinese medicine immunity-enhancing preparations are developed and prepared using Pseudostellariae Radix Genus extracts; at Zhongshi Beishan (Fujian) Liquor Co., Ltd., the country's first domestic Pseudostellariae Radix Pseudostellariae health wine to receive the "Blue Hat" mark - Twelve Hours Pseudostellariae Huangjin Liquor is being canned and produced, opening up a new track for health drinks...
As the “Mindong Medicine City”, Zherong County is making every effort to extend the comprehensive health industry chain based on medicine. The county has initially formed a pattern of joint development with Radix Pseudostellariae as the main body and Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, Dendrobium officinale, and Herbaceae, etc., building a full industrial chain integrating planting, processing, research and development, and health services.
This is true for a medicine, and so is a city. Looking at the mountains and seas of Ningde, each has its own "way of eating": Shouning County relies on selenium-rich soil to develop selenium-rich tea and antioxidant functional foods; Gutian County guides companies to extract Tremella fuciformis and develop immune-modulating products; Jiaocheng District launches fish oil capsules and other types of marine functional foods, driving the added value of large yellow croaker to increase by 4 More than 0%; Xiapu County extends the sea cucumber industry chain and develops sea cucumber slices and other health foods... 94 geographical indication certification trademarks and more than 1.3 million acres of zinc- and selenium-rich high-quality land jointly bear witness to Ningde's rich products and provide a rich supply of therapeutic medicinal diets and healthy foods for health and wellness travelers.
From a pool of She medicated baths to a table of health-preserving meals, from a single medicinal material to a health care chain, Ningde people are bringing She medicine, food and health from the same source, creating a new flavor of the integrated development of the health industry between mountains and seas. The relevant person in charge of the Ningde Health Industry Branch Headquarters said that they will strengthen the health food matrix, make good use of Tremella fungus, Polygonatum japonica, Radix Pseudostellariae, white tea, and marine ingredients, and develop medicinal dietary souvenirs and ready-to-eat health products, so that health care products can be experienced on-site or taken away for consumption.
