Luding Chuanwu
Chuanwu is a commonly used authentic traditional Chinese medicinal herb from Sichuan, derived from the dried main root of the herbaceous plant Aconitum carmichaelii, also known as monkshood. It is also called Chuancaowu or Aconite. It is hot in nature, with a pungent and bitter taste, and is highly toxic. It has therapeutic effects such as dispelling wind, removing dampness, and dispersing cold. Sichuan is the main cultivation area, with Jiangyou being particularly famous for its production. The product is generally divided into two types: Chuanwu and Chuanwu slices. The main medicinal and toxic components are diester alkaloids, and medicinal use usually requires processing.
