Changdu Musk
Musk is a secretion from the glandular sac located between the navel and genitals of the male musk deer. It has a distinctive fragrance and is one of the world’s most precious medicinal substances. The musk deer, also known as the fragrant deer, inhabits cold, high-altitude regions of the Tibetan area at elevations above 5,000 meters, where natural grasses abound. It is most commonly found in the upper reaches of the Nujiang and Lancang rivers in the eastern part of Nagqu, Tibet, and the northern region of Chamdo. Musk has a mild nature and is known to strengthen the heart, invigorate the brain, clear the orifices, and open the meridians. It is used to treat febrile diseases, poisoning, listlessness, unconsciousness, and various acute conditions. It is also a key ingredient in the production of perfumes.
