Ox Gallstones From Gabon

Gallstones harvested from cattle are a precious Chinese herbal medicine. They are either sold as a natural product without any processing or mixed with other ingredients for use as a proprietary Chinese medicine. Gabon has a limited supply of ox gallstones because of the high demand for them and their medicinal value.

High Value

The ox gallstone has long been used as a Chinese herbal medicine. It is said that they are able to remove phlegm, purify the liver, and restore blood flow in the heart and spirit. They are also considered useful for boosting vitality and strengthening the immune system.

Despite their popularity, gallstones are not something that can be easily sourced. They are a rare commodity, and require large amounts of cattle to produce them.

They are also extremely expensive, and prices vary by quality, shape, size, and other factors. Some gallstones are worth thousands of dollars a kilogram.

These gems are made of bilirubin, a pigment that is derived from bile. They are also used to manufacture medicines, including antibiotics and painkillers.

Some people have both kinds of stones in their bile ducts, known as cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis is a disease that causes the formation of gallstones in the bile ducts of your liver.

There are many different types of gallstones, but they all contain bilirubin and other compounds. Pigment gallstones are dark in color and are usually made of bilirubin.

Other types of gallstones are made from cholesterol, or bile salts. Both types are in high demand for use in a variety of proprietary Chinese medicines.

However, domestic supply is not sufficient to meet the increasing demand. This has prompted the development of artificial gallstones. These have become an important ingredient for a wide range of proprietary Chinese medicines, but their medicinal value is not comparable to that of natural gallstones.

It is a profitable business to buy and sell cattle gallstones, but they are a delicate commodity. They need to be in good condition and free of any diseases.

The entire Australian cattle industry produces only about 200kg of these precious gems a year. The largest supplier in Australia, Sunshine Trading, says they deal with fifty abattoirs throughout the country.

Local Miners

MONDAY’s story about an employee at a southeast Queensland abattoir being charged with stealing gallstones has sparked interest in social media, with many people wondering what the value of these precious gems is. Some even going so far as to suggest they are worth $20,000 a kilogram.

The truth is that these stones are rare and expensive, not to mention hard to come by. They are a rare commodity, much like pearls and diamonds. And the Australian cattle industry produces only a few hundredkg a year, a small fraction of what’s required to make them into a high-value product.

In China, ox gallstones are one of the most highly prized medicinal biles, and are a central part of the country’s traditional herbal medicine. This is in large part because they have a number of useful therapeutic properties.

For example, they are a good remedy for polydipsia (eating too much), and a cure for frothy salivation. They are also said to be an excellent cure for nocturnal vomiting and a sedative for nocturnal crying.

Ox gallstones are also very abrasive, so they were a popular choice for use in cosmetics and perfumes. They were also used as a disinfectant and to treat ulcers, sores and other wounds.

After extracting the gallstones from the intestines of an ox they are washed thoroughly with cold water to remove blood clots and impurities. They are then dried for a couple of weeks in a dark and well ventilated environment at a temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius. These are then packed into hermetically sealed bags and sold to consumers at prices that are quite competitive. This is a very important and profitable business for the local miners in Gabon.

Processing

MONDAY’s story about a beef processor being charged for the theft of gallstones from cattle in Queensland has sparked a lot of interest among Beef Central readers. Specifically, some are wondering how gallstones, which are rare and valuable to the Chinese herbal medicine market, could be worth $20,000 per kilogram.

A common misconception is that the price of gallstones is a direct result of their value to the consumer. In fact, the value of gallstones is highly determined by their quality and dryness. The highest value is for whole, smooth, lustrous golden specimens. Dark and pitted stones, or those with calcium inclusions, are of reduced value.

The gallstones are extracted from the intestines of the cattle near the liver and are washed with cold water in order to remove blood clots or any other impurities. They are then dried in a dark, well air conditioned room at 20degC for two to three weeks. They are flipped to another side regularly and repacked after full drying into hermetically sealed bags.

In China, ox gallstones are highly valued in the Chinese herbal medicine industry as they can be used to treat digestive disorders and other health conditions. They can be purchased as a natural gallstone or mixed with other ingredients to form a proprietary Chinese medicine. The retail prices for a tael of ox gallstones can range from HK$19,000 to US$65 per gram. Currently, there are Hong Kong importers looking for supplies of this precious commodity. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the supplier listed below for more information.

Storage

Gallstones from cattle are a precious Chinese herbal medicine that are either sold in their natural form without being processed or combined with other ingredients as a proprietary Chinese medicine. They are usually sold as such in Asian markets but can also be a supplement to traditional Chinese medicines.

They are extracted from the intestines of cattle and then washed with cold water to remove blood clots, impurities etc. The stones are then dried in a dark and well air conditioned room at a temperature of about 20 degC for two to three weeks. They are flipped regularly in order to dry them effectively and to avoid them sticking together. After full drying the stones are packed in hermetically sealed bags.

The storage of Ox Gallstones Gabon is a complicated process and requires some knowledge to get the most out of it. The gallstones need to be kept in a bowl or lidless plastic box and should be turned every 2 to 3 weeks in order to allow airflow and the drying process to take place.

It is important to respect the drying process in order to maximize their commercial value and avoid breakage. Gallstones are very brittle once dried and their commercial value is reduced if they are broken or damaged. Beef Central advises that buyers be wary of online transactions with individuals around the world seeking to trade in gallstones, as they might not deliver.
