Externally greyish, yellow or pale greyish brown, rough, longitudinally wrinkled and distinctly annulated nodes. Branched part usually with remains of scale leaves, apex with stem scar or buds. Texture compact, fracture yellowish white or greyish white, starchy and granular, exhibiting a distinct ring of endodermis, scattered with vascular bundles and yellow oil cells. Odour aromatic and characteristic, taste pungent.
Identification : Powder: Pale yellowish brown, starch granules fairly abundant, ovate, elliptical, triangular ovoid, sub-rounded or irregular, 5 - 40 µm in diameter, hilum pointed at the small end, sometimes cleft, striations obvious. Oil cells and resin cells scattered in parenchyma containing pale yellow oil drops or dark reddish brown substance. Fibres in bundles or scattered, apex obtusely acute, few branched, some andulate or serrate on one side. 15 - 40 µm in diameter, walls slightly thickened, unlignified with fine oblique crisscross pits, frequently with thin septa. Vessels mostly scalariform, spiral and reticulate, few annular, 15 - 70 µm in diameter. Tubular containing dark reddish brown substance. Occasionally found beside vessels and fibres.Total ash: Not more than 6.0% (Appendix lX K)Assay: To a quantity of the coarse powder, add 700 ml of water and carry out the method for determination of volatile oil (Appendix X D). It contains not less than 0.8% (ml/g) of volatile oil
Processing : Eliminate foreign matter, soak briefly, wash clean, soften thoroughly, cut into thick slices or pieces and dry. Irregular pieces 0.2 - 0.4 cm thick. Total ash not more than 5.5%.Rhizoma Zingiberis (carbonized): Stir fry as describe under the method for carbonized stir frying (Appendix ll D) until the surface becomes black and the inner part brown.
Action : To dispel cold from the spleen and the stomach, to promote recovery from collapse, and to eliminate damp and phlegm. Rhizoma Zingiberis (processed): To dispel cold from the spleen and the stomach, and to arrest bleeding.
