Pinellia Ternata (Three-leaf Pinellia)

　　The Pinellia ternata planting base in Dongfeng Village, Da’a Town, Xinfeng County, Jiangxi Province, is located in the beautiful and fertile southern part of southern Jiangxi’s Gannan region, an old revolutionary base area. It lies 10 kilometers west of the Xinchishi Highway in Xinfeng County, adjacent to the Xinfeng Station of the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, as well as National Highway 105 and the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway. It is also just a 40-minute drive from Ganzhou Huangjin Airport in our city, offering convenient and fast transportation. Pinellia ternata, also known as Three-leaf Pinellia, Three-step Jump, or Hemp Jade Fruit, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. Its tuber is used medicinally and has functions such as drying dampness, resolving phlegm, calming wheezing, and relieving vomiting. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as phlegm-fluid vomiting, damp-phlegm cough, qi-stagnation chest tightness, dizziness, and more. It is also used externally to treat swelling and pain, and to stop bleeding. Raw Pinellia ternata is toxic. Due to high demand but low yield, the market supply cannot meet the demand. Our base enjoys a subtropical climate with distinct seasons, abundant rainfall, and ample sunlight—conditions that are very suitable for the growth of Pinellia ternata. Coupled with over 20 years of planting experience, the semi-finished products we produce have low moisture content, high starchiness, firm texture, and a clean white color, making the medicinal material of premium quality and with high yield. Typically, the dry yield per mu is 500–600 kilograms, and can reach up to 850 kilograms per mu at maximum. Every year, a large number of medicinal material merchants from Anhui, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and other regions across the country flock to our base, drawn by its reputation, and leave satisfied.
