Which Chinese medicinal herbs can make money in Sichuan?

1. Notopterygium wilfordii

The main producing area of ​​Notopterygium wilfordii is Sichuan (Guanxian County), and it is also cultivated in Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, Guangxi Province, etc. It grows in a mild climate environment and is a kind of traditional Chinese medicinal plant.

4. Cyathula
