Garden of specific drugs as a "herb garden" is to place earthly kingdom.
Perfume deceased drug
Few people know the ancient village of Dai Yen Ngoc Ha, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi Vietnam is a traditional medicinal plant for thousands of years nget shrinkage.
Use clear copy villages, the Ly Dynasty XI century, a girl named Tran Ngoc Tuong 9 years old, very good treatment by the kinds of leaves. The soldiers of Ly Thuong Kiet through this disease are her medical help. Thus, our army had defeated the enemy.
Ngoc Tuong million to supply the king and style as Princess Ngoc Hoa, but because her mind, she returned to the village of Great Compassion (General Yen today) and begin healing the people.
Previously, in this village there is a family tobacco plantation. Decade from 70 to 80 of the twentieth century, the village is the medicine bowl provides the Institute of Traditional Medicine of Vietnam, Hanoi University of Pharmacy and medicinal goods are sold throughout the market Kham Thien, Cua Nam, Dong Xuan Street drugs north.
Cinnamon tools this year than 70 years old but still keen eyes, his hands still healthy to move on both the garden and picking sessions. The six instruments have been growing and selling medicinal herbs in the village.
Childhood was tied to specific medicinal plants, from a young age, and children in particular have played the village name puzzles medicinal plants. Eight years old, learned to cut specific leaf medicines brought back.
Cultivation of medicinal plants is very hard and arduous. Whether sunny or rainy day drug growers must also be present in the garden, also "hand-foot mud spots" such as farmers "by land, feeding" it.
Maiden, the specific steps of drug burden had marks all over the place in Hanoi City. Medicinal plants often bear specific to vendors in the old town as North Street Drugs, Kham Thien, Cua Nam, Dong Xuan Market. And when old age comes, not specific enough to the market anymore, the engine returned to the market at the port village of Dai Yen.
Cinnamon tools to lead us out of the family medicine gardens, lush green gardens always faint pleasant aroma of pure medicine.
With an area of ​​approximately 400m2, garden full of medicinal plants as incense needs, problem identification, soil mixing, aloe vera, royal virgin, is open, grapefruit extract, copper blades, leaf show.
Although hard but income from garden tools Que drug Nam only about four years tens of thousands a day. Specifically still determined to keep the job because the work is already attached to the tool life and also the traditional family.
Cinnamon is not only proficient in specific care, healing properties of each plant, but also told patients to drug loading. Specific to each plant and then only to say the coronary wall.
Incense tree needs small serrated leaves, stems purple, can be used fresh or dried. This plant is left of the sun, fever, chills, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, chest pain, vomiting. Plantain used as a diuretic, to treat certain urinary tract disease, bleeding, edema, prolonged cough, diarrhea, nosebleeds.
A whole life attached to the land planted tobacco, cinnamon is specific in mind will make time to do it no longer afford it. "

Going into the old village area
Specifically Que laments along the flow channel of the village along the drain, the only remaining four small vineyards wanderous mounds of garbage disposal.
The village is also only a few households living by planting drugs, drug loading and the "stronger" General Yen did not know tobacco can "square" is how much longer.
In recent years the villagers rush to sell the land or building houses for rent, gardens demolished or shrinking and at risk of disappearing. The other area buildings sprang up and implement the garden with a myriad of medicinal plants, gone forever.
Time to buy some medicinal plants, to ask children to make soup, Forum, Thanh Tri, there is nothing you nowhere with more than 200 types of trees before the leaves.
The grandmother worries that "tomorrow is the General Yen Then take a ruler no land to grow medicinal plants. Do the job for life being lost as a result. "
Small garden of the family are at risk of release is still great-chiu particular care. With the scent of a particular drug was absorbed into the soil leaves the village, absorbed into the blood and bones. Regrets that despite the grandmother did not know what to do to preserve, the land that no longer handed down to posterity born again.
Every afternoon, the drug Nam harvested from the gardens of the village of Dai Yen sold in a small market next to the village entrance warts. In the past, this is a market where the most famous drug Nam in Hanoi, each time meeting sellers to buyers busy. Now, each day the market climb only a few sellers and Teo purchase.
