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 above 5,000 meters in Tibetan areas with abundant natural grasses. It is most commonly found along the upper reaches of the Nujiang and Lancang rivers in eastern Nagqu, Tibet, and northern Chamdo region. Musk is mild in nature and has the effects of strengthening the heart, refreshing the mind, clearing orifices, and opening meridians. It is used to treat febrile diseases, poisoning, lethargy, unconsciousness, and various acute conditions. It is also an ingredient in the production of perfumes. (Lhasa)
