楓鬥和石斛的區別是什麼？楓鬥，又名鐵皮石斛，是石斛中的上品。它是一種名貴的中藥材，是多年生草本植物，莖叢生，圓柱型，高10--30釐米，粗3—8毫米，在民間，被譽為“救命仙草”藥界的“大熊貓”。在我國約有七十多種，入藥典的有鐵皮楓鬥、環草楓鬥、黃草楓鬥、金釵楓鬥、馬鞭楓鬥等幾個品種，其中鐵皮楓鬥為楓鬥中的極品，它因表皮呈鐵綠色而得名。
鐵皮石斛生長於懸崖峭壁之陰處，古人常懸索崖壁或射箭採集。鐵皮石斛常年受天地之靈氣，吸日月之精華，作為養生極品，自古以來深受皇宮貴族的青睞。但由於它生長條件十分苛刻，自然產量極為稀少，更因民間長期過度採挖，致使野生資源瀕臨絕種。產於安徽省霍山縣的霍山石斛是鐵皮石斛中的極品，膠質飽滿、久嚼無渣、個頭沉實、功效最佳。但是霍山石斛生長環境苛刻，產量稀少，市面上只有少數像福臨門鐵皮石斛這樣的老品牌能買到真正的霍山石斛。 取鐵皮石斛的莖經加工炮製，邊炒邊扭成螺旋形稱為鐵皮楓鬥。那麼石斛為何加工成楓鬥呢？ 其實自古以來，因為運輸和儲存上的難題，所以一般石斛都加工成楓鬥出售，導致了大家比較少見到新鮮的鐵皮石斛。新鮮鐵皮石斛乃“滋陰”聖品，唐開元年間的道家養生經典《道藏》就曾將其列為“中華九大仙草”之首。而中國傳統醫學認為：人體只有保持陰陽之間的平衡，才能維持正常生理功能，人類才能健康長壽。
在現代都市裡，人們常會面臨菸酒過量、工作壓力過大、夜生活頻繁、營養過剩或營養結構不合理等問題，遭遇諸如環境汙染、氣候異常、慢性疾病、手術、放化療等無奈，這些都會消耗人體大量的精血、津液，從而產生陰虛，而平日上班族經常會感到的累、疲勞這些亞健康狀態也莫不與陰虛有關，因此，滋陰乃現代人特別是都市白領健康養生的首要問題。
上海中醫藥大學錢海教授介紹到，“其實，鐵皮石斛以鮮品為上。 中醫用藥時，常要求鐵皮石斛新鮮入藥。把鮮品製成幹品，其實是為了運輸和儲存的方便，它與新鮮鐵皮石斛功效相比仍有一定的差距。因為石斛的功效成分主要是石斛多糖及生物活性物質，如果烘乾了會有所損失，所以吃新鮮的石斛會更具效果。生吃鮮草不僅可以最大限度地保留鐵皮石斛的活性細胞，最多量地攝入石斛多糖和石斛鹼，而且能清熱、養陰、生津，促進人體新陳代謝的作用。並且吃鮮品更直觀，能確保真材實料，杜絕假冒偽劣產品。 ”
加工方法
石斛的藥材商品的加工方法甚多，也頗為複雜，一種石斛屬植物可以作為幾種商品石斛，而一種商品石斛包括7～8種石斛屬植物。目前，有關石斛的加工方法存在著很多問題，主要是無一定的方法和程式。一般來說．石斛的加工應包括下述一系列的方法連續處理：沙炒法、水煮法、水蒸法、火燒法、火灰炮法、火烘法、日晒法等等。在野外多先採集就地直接用火燒或火烤後，再作一系列其他加工處理。但在個體藥農家中有些先用水蒸煮，繼以日晒、夜露等加工處理。有些地區則將鮮石斛先堆放使之發酵半個月以上，再用機械方法除去葉鞘，以木炭火烤或沙炒至黃色。有些則將石斛先以水浸泡數日，發酵使葉鞘膜腐爛，用棕刷刷淨，再以稻草竹蓆密蓋使不透氣，加火烘至八成干時，進行搓揉後，再烘至全乾。將幹品堆放，澆沸水於其上，令其浸透，再用草墊密蓋令其發酵，使顏色呈金黃色，再烤一次即為成品。baikeViewInfo.cataList = baikeViewInfo.cataList.concat([{"title":"\u57fa\u672c\u4fe1\u606f","level":1,"index":"1","charnum":483,"screennum":0,"containpic":true,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"1"},{"title":"\u751f\u957f\u4e60\u6027","level":1,"index":"2","charnum":222,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"2"},{"title":"\u4ea7\u54c1\u529f\u6548","level":1,"index":"3","charnum":2204,"screennum":2,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3"},{"title":"\u6ecb\u517b\u9634\u6d25","level":2,"index":"3_1","charnum":318,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_1"},{"title":"\u589e\u5f3a\u4f53\u8d28","level":2,"index":"3_2","charnum":148,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_2"},{"title":"\u8865\u76ca\u813e\u80c3","level":2,"index":"3_3","charnum":337,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_3"},{"title":"\u62a4\u809d\u5229\u80c6","level":2,"index":"3_4","charnum":108,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_4"},{"title":"\u6e05\u865a\u70ed","level":2,"index":"3_5","charnum":273,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_5"},{"title":"\u5f3a\u7b4b\u58ee\u9aa8","level":2,"index":"3_6","charnum":182,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_6"},{"title":"\u4fc3\u8fdb\u5faa\u73af","level":2,"index":"3_7","charnum":135,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_7"},{"title":"\u6291\u5236\u80bf\u7624","level":2,"index":"3_8","charnum":173,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_8"},{"title":"\u660e\u4eae\u773c\u76ee","level":2,"index":"3_9","charnum":253,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_9"},{"title":"\u6ecb\u517b\u808c\u80a4","level":2,"index":"3_10","charnum":108,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_10"},{"title":"\u5ef6\u5e74\u76ca\u5bff","level":2,"index":"3_11","charnum":2204,"screennum":2,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"3_11"},{"title":"\u4f7f\u7528\u6ce8\u610f","level":1,"index":"4","charnum":139,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"4"},{"title":"\u9009\u8d2d\u5e38\u8bc6","level":1,"index":"5","charnum":391,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"5"},{"title":"\u6210\u5206\u4ecb\u7ecd","level":1,"index":"6","charnum":560,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"6"},{"title":"\u52a0\u5de5\u65b9\u6cd5","level":1,"index":"7","charnum":558,"screennum":0,"containpic":false,"containvideo":0,"display":true,"ele":"7"}]);
