The first scientific findings of Sam vu diep (Panax bipinnatifidus Seem.) and Tam That hoang (Panax stipuleanatus H.Tsai et K.M.Feng) have laid the foundation for a new development of endemic species at Hoang Lien Mountains. Sam vu diep and Tam that hoang were discovered in 1964 in Lao Cai province. However, unlike China which has been intensifying the analysis and extraction of the chemical components of this plant, there have been very few such studies in Vietnam. The research on ‘developing sources of raw materials and creating products from two species of medicinal plants: Sam vu diep and Tam that hoang in the northwestern region’ was conducted by Ly, the National Institute of Medicinal Materials (MOH) and Nam Duoc Company.

Though it has a diverse medicinal ecosystem, Vietnam still finds it difficult developing its medicinal herb treasury. Vietnam not only has the famous Ngoc Linh ginseng in Quang Nam and Kon Tum provinces, but also sam day (Sipunculus nudus), sam cau (Curculigo orchioides), Dang sam (Codonopsis pilosula), Dan Sam (Salvia miltiorrhiza) and sam bo chinh (Abelmoschus sagittifolius), grown in many different provinces and cities. These include ginseng with saponin concentration in no way inferior to South Korea’s ginseng. A report released at a science conference on preserving and developing the medicinal herb area of Central Highlands and the southern part of southern region held in Da Nang on June 21 showed that there are more than 5,000 types of herbs in the area. The concept of ‘value chain’ and the role of leading enterprises in the herbal medicine industry has been mentioned at many workshops and events, but the preferences in the master plan on … [Read more...] about Vietnam not satisfied about medicinal herb preservation

The scientific research by Dr Pham Bich Hanh and her co-workers gives a new perspective on sam dai hanh (Eleutherine bulbosa) and endemic species in Indochina which are grown in Vietnam. Commonly used in folk remedies as a blood tonic and digestive system supporter, sam dai hanh became a subject for scientific research in the 1970s. However, the initial studies on sam dai hanh only discovered some compounds. The Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology decided to carry out further scientific research on medicinal herbs, including sam dai hanh, to discover more medicinal elements through modern analytical and preparation technologies. To obtain input materials to make capsules, the research team had to collect sam dai hanh, extract and refine naphtoquinone compounds - eleutherin and isoeleutherin - which have anti-inflammatory and pain relief effects. Thanh Mai Vietnam not satisfied about medicinal herb preservation Though it has a diverse medicinal ecosystem, Vietnam … [Read more...] about Sam dai hanh: from folk remedy to capsule in laboratory
