On the Office Desk, a row of Medicine Ingredients was laid out. Du Heng pointed to these Medicine Ingredients and said, "Take a look, these are the medicines."
The Pharmacy Doctor walked closer, lowered his head to examine them one by one, occasionally picking up a piece or two, pinching them, and smelling them.
"Dean, the processing method for this scutellaria baicalensis is incorrect. These scutellaria baicalensis haven't been thoroughly steamed, nor are they naturally air-dried; they've been dried with sulfur," the Pharmacy Doctor said somberly, sharing his findings.
Sulfur can be used to fumigate Medicine Ingredients, but there are specific requirements. Not every herbal material is suitable for sulfur fumigation.
"And this fructus aurantii, it has also been fumigated with sulfur." He took a small bite, tasted it briefly, and then spat it out. "The sour taste is too strong; its medicinal properties have been damaged."
