天麻｜沒有葉綠的神秘草本
Tian Ma | A Unique Herb Without Green Leaves
在眾多傳統藥材之中，天麻是一味外形十分特別的草本材料。天麻的地下塊莖呈長橢圓形或紡錘形，表面帶有自然的環節與紋理，乾燥後呈黃白色至黃棕色。
與一般植物不同，天麻沒有明顯的綠色葉片，也沒有一般草本植物常見的葉綠素，因此外形十分獨特。經過加工及乾燥後，天麻通常切成片狀使用，可以看到淡黃至黃白色的切面，質地較為堅實。
在傳統本草文化中，天麻是一味歷史悠久的草本材料，常與其他藥材搭配使用。一枚看似不起眼的地下塊莖，經過採集、加工與乾燥後，成為傳統本草文化中具有代表性的藥材之一。
Among traditional herbal materials, Tian Ma is recognised for its distinctive appearance. The underground rhizome is elongated or spindle-shaped, with natural rings and surface markings. After drying, it ranges from pale yellow to yellowish-brown.
Unlike most familiar plants, Tian Ma does not have prominent green leaves or the typical appearance of a leafy herb, making it particularly distinctive. After processing and drying, Tian Ma is commonly sliced for use. The sliced interior is pale yellow to yellowish-white with a firm natural texture.
In traditional herbal culture, Tian Ma has a long history of use and is often combined with other herbs in traditional preparations. An understated underground rhizome, carefully harvested, processed and dried, Tian Ma has become a distinctive part of traditional herbal culture.
