Is it worthwhile for the elderly in Xiangxi, Hunan Province to spend 5400 yuan on "Miao medicine"?

I don't think the Miao medicine bought by the old man is worth the price.

As can be seen from the inspection results of drugs by the elderly and their daughters, the drugs purchased by the elderly do not have the precious ingredients mentioned when the merchants sell them, and there are few ingredients, which have no maintenance and treatment effects on the human body. From another angle, it can be considered that the Miao medicine purchased by the elderly is fake medicine, and the elderly are deceived by tour guides and merchants during the tour, and the medicine purchased is not worth the price.

First, what was the cause of the incident?

The old man participated once, and a businessman from Tujia and Miao nationality in Xiangxi, Hunan Province introduced that he spent 5400 yuan to buy a bag of powdery Miao medicine. After seeing the drugs purchased by her father, the old man's daughter thought that the drugs purchased had no detailed description of the ingredients and no drug number approved by the state. I didn't even think that my father was cheated by the simple instructions, and insisted on not letting my father use it for fear of causing harm to my body. As a result, the drugs purchased by the elderly were sent to the local testing department for testing. Prescriptions tested by professional testing institutions do not contain precious medicinal ingredients issued by merchants, and do not have human health care functions or disease treatment functions.

Second, strengthen the inspection and rectification of the tourism industry.

In my opinion, this behavior of recommending counterfeit health care products to the elderly during tourism should be severely resisted, and relevant local departments should actively rectify and check. Tourism is a good industry, which can promote the local economic development and is a city's business card. If more and more people are deceived in a tourist destination, the reputation of the local city will be affected, resulting in a large number of consumers unwilling to travel there. This is a very profound and very bad thing.

3. What is my personal opinion?

I think the original intention of the old people to buy this medicine locally is to get better health. They believe in the curative effect introduced by tour guides and merchants, and more importantly, they believe in the authenticity and therapeutic effect of Miao medicine. I don't think just because the elderly bought fake drugs can directly overturn the real existence and efficacy of Miao medicine. Good medicine is the intangible cultural heritage of China, which has a profound cultural history and origin. It is a wrong view and view not to believe Miao medicine just because the old man bought fake medicine.
