A friend's family passed down an Angong Niuhuang Pill from Beijing Tongrentang, which was bought in 1985. I heard that the longer it is, the more valuable it is. What is the market price?

First of all, we need to know why Angong Niuhuang Pills (various manufacturers) on the market before the 1990s are valuable. Why is Angong Niuhuang Pill in Beijing Tongrentang valuable?

1. 1993, the State Council issued the Notice of the State Council on Prohibiting the Trade of Rhinoceros Horn and Tiger Bone (Guo Fa [1993] No.39), prohibiting the import, export, trading and use of various forms of tiger bone, rhinoceros horn and related products. This naturally includes medicinal use, which directly leads to the change of traditional Chinese medicine formula. Most of the prescriptions that can be handed down are verified by hundreds of years of use (some people say that Chinese medicine is witchcraft, I can only say that people live in their own cognition. If it is witchcraft, how did it come down? After all, for quite some time in history, China's education level was ahead of the world. In addition, if it is meaningless witchcraft, what is being studied abroad? And I haven't studied it until now, and I have sent all kinds of so-called X-sweet doctors to hack it, and now it's banned. The out-of-print of this effective drug will inevitably lead to the improvement of its value. Moreover, as the existing quantity is getting less and less, it is normal that the value is getting higher and higher.

2. Where is Beijing Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang Pill? Good formula, good materials and good technology.

Good formula: According to insiders, Beijing Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang Pill has three formulas, and the mainstream is the second formula. All three parties are the original prescription and modified prescription of Angong Niuhuang Pill recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Wu Jutong. There are several national secret recipes in Beijing Tongrentang, which shows the uniqueness of its formula.

Good materials: in fact, the raw materials used by domestic Chinese medicine factories are not bad. It's just that Beijing Tongrentang has made great efforts to build or cooperate with medicinal materials bases all over the country to ensure that raw materials can be harvested as required. After all, the teaching instructions are there (no one knows what is going on, and processing will not save artificial taste. Although it is expensive, it will not reduce material resources). After all, the harvest season, planting conditions and processing specifications of Chinese herbal medicines in every household are different. Although the country has a unified standard, there are still many manufacturers with higher standards, so I won't go into details here.

Good technology: there are many stresses on the production of Chinese medicine. For example, when decocting Chinese medicine decoction, it will need to be fried first, then boiled, and so on. It can be said that there are many skills. Therefore, different production processes will inevitably lead to product differentiation, and Beijing Tongrentang has also produced many unique processes under the inheritance of pharmaceutical production for many years. The product differences brought by these things can be seen through market share. The old people's trust in Tongrentang can be said to be the result of no choice in the original era. However, after 2020, many young people will still become fans of Tongrentang (friends who have questions can search the online sales volume of 6 18, double1Beijing Tongrentang and the sales volume of traditional medicines in recent years), which can't all be the result of marketing, but more is the guarantee of curative effect and cooperation with other manufacturers.

To sum up, the product quality and effect of Beijing Tongrentang have certain advantages in the market. At the same time, only Beijing Tongrentang has been continuously operating Angong Niuhuang Pill as the core product, and has been promoting the product through actual treatment cases (although the promotion of Beijing Tongrentang is tepid).

Back to the topic, how much can Beijing Tongrentang, an 85-year-old Angong Niuhuang Pill, be worth? Let's quote a data. Beijing Daxie Auction Company auctioned two 85-year-old Angong Niuhuang Pills in Beijing Tongrentang at the autumn art auction of 20 17, with an estimated value of 5W-8W. As for the transaction price, I won't say much.

I dare not talk nonsense, but whether the old medicine can be used depends on the preservation of the medicine. Chinese patent medicines are best kept in a cool, dry and ventilated place. In principle, as long as the pills are not moldy and worm-free, there is no problem. (I can quote the expiration date of drugs in the management regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration myself. The background of the drug administration bill in China in the past, and whether it is reasonable to manage Chinese medicine with western medicine? It is reasonable if the country is promoting the revision of the special management of Chinese medicine hospitals in the near future. So if it is a well-preserved Chinese patent medicine, congratulations, it is a good medicine and a traditional famous medicine. Please take care of it. Please consult Chinese medicine or related professionals for specific usage.
