Processing of Cortex Moutan: Peony is a precious medicinal flower. After its roots are processed, it becomes Cortex Moutan, a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, and removing blood stasis, and is a precious Chinese medicine. Peonies should be harvested in late September to early October in autumn. Processing method: Put the fresh peony root into water to wash off the dirt, use a glass (807, 8.00, 1.00%) sheet to gently scrape off the thin outer layer of skin, then dry it in the sun for half a day. After the root becomes soft, remove its woody part and dry it in the sun for about 2 days.

After the roots are scraped and the woody parts are removed, if they are dried on a sunny day, the finished product will be whiter in color and of better quality; if it is a cloudy day, the finished product will be darker in color and of poorer quality. Therefore, after the peony roots are harvested, try to process them on a sunny day.

Processing of White Peony Peony is also a precious medicinal flower. After processing, the peony root is called medicinal white peony, which has the effects of nourishing blood, calming the liver, astringing sweat, and relieving pain. It is a commonly used Chinese medicinal material. The season for harvesting peony roots is from late September to early October. The processing of white peony root requires high technology. The processing method is: (1) Boil the roots. Dig out the roots, cut off the fleshy roots, wash off the dirt, and then put the roots into the pot according to their thickness, add water (the water should cover the root surface), turn on the fire and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil the thick roots for 15-20 minutes and the thin roots for about 10 minutes, then scrape off the skin, wash and dry them. (2) Dry the roots. In the process of drying the roots, it is necessary to combine drying and airing. The thick roots should be dried for 2 days first, then dried in the shade for 2 days, and then dried for another 2 days. After two days of drying, continue to dry them. In this way, the finished product has good quality and high efficacy. Processing of sour jujube kernels Sour jujubes generally mature in October. The seeds of Chinese jujube are an important traditional Chinese medicine, used to treat insomnia, palpitations, spleen deficiency, weak stomach, and indigestion. Processing method: (1) Take the date pits. Dry the picked fresh sour jujubes in the sun until they are half-dried, then soak them in a water tank for 4-5 days to make the sour jujube flesh thin and loose, remove the pulp and take out the jujube seed core. (2) Remove the seed coat and take out the seed kernel. Dry the jujube pits and grind them on a special mill (this mill has large teeth and deep grooves). After grinding, use a sieve to separate the kernels and broken skins, and then put them into a water tank to wash. The kernels are lighter and float on the water surface; the broken skins are heavier and sink. Then use a colander to scoop out the kernels as you stir them. (3) Dry the kernels in the sun. The seed kernels are dried in the sun to become the Chinese jujube kernels used in traditional Chinese medicine.
