What is Botanical Medicine?

Plant medicine does not always oppose the use of pesticides, just as human medicine not only attaches importance to human health and gives full play to human immune function, but also reproduces clinical medicine.

Executive summary:

Tens of thousands of plant hospitals have been established in China from top to bottom, which almost completely replaced the plant protection service system. Changing the plant protection station into a plant hospital, regardless of whether its business content is essentially changed, but the change in name reflects a change in understanding of plant protection-to protect plants like doctors protect patients, plants need a plant doctor. But there is not much knowledge about the subject system of "plant medicine".

Since the discipline of plant protection is to protect plants, the suggestion of plant medicine seems to be "one more action", and it is suspected of "popularity." Someone did say that. Although no one now thinks that plants are inanimate dead, there are not a few people who think of plants as unconscious creatures. Doctors call unconscious people "vegetatives" as proof. Modern plant physiology has just proved that plants can not only sense various signals, but also information transmission systems similar to animal neural functions, plant hormones similar to animal endocrine systems, and various immune substances similar to animal immune functions. So an American scientist described plants as "very slow animals." After all, animals and plants are living things, and they have biological similarities. Plant medicine is now proposed based on this new understanding of plants. It is unconvincing not to know the "medicine" of the object of protection. Traditional plant protection is based on the control of harmful organisms. It can ignore plant physiology and biochemistry, ignore plant nutrition, and ignore the active and active defense responses of plants to various inorganic and organic factors. It is worth mentioning It is true that plant pathologists are more aware of this type of response. They have long noticed that plants can produce phytoalexins when attacked by microorganisms. Therefore, plant pathologists have always advocated plant medicine, not agricultural entomologists. The situation of relying solely on chemical pesticides is precisely due to the protection of plants based on the control of harmful organisms.

However, there is a fundamental difference between plant medicine and traditional plant protection pesticides. In medicine, the first consideration is to protect the health and safety of the object. Just like human medical penicillin and sulfa, the first thought is whether his patient can be accessed. The traditional plant protection discipline does not include plant pathology. Do not understand that pesticides will produce obvious In addition to the phytotoxicity, it also produces "internal injuries" that are invisible on the outside, such as the effects on plant metabolism, the effects on cell membrane functions, and even changes in the composition of plants. The protection of the plants actually hurts the plants. Therefore, botanical medicine must include botanical pharmacology, and claims that the pesticides used must be pharmacologically tested.

Plant medicine is for the protection of plants, but in the final analysis is for the protection of humans: human beings need more and higher quality food from plants, and human beings need higher quality living environments! Moreover, the situation is now pressing Times; tens of thousands of plant hospitals have been established nationwide, where are the plant doctors accredited by the state? Shouldn't such an urgent question be mentioned on the agenda? This is the background of the era of writing this book.

The purpose of writing "Introduction to Plant Medicine" is just to introduce the concept of plant medicine to society, so that more people understand it and comment on it.
