Difference between synthetic musk and natural musk

Musk is the dry secretion in the mature male sachet of musk deer or the original musk deer. It is also called Dangmozi. Musk tastes pungent, warm, returns to the heart and spleen meridians. It has the functions of awakening the mind, activating blood circulation, dredging channels, relieving swelling and relieving pain. It can be used to treat closed syndrome, dizziness, amenorrhea caused by blood stasis, limb swelling and pain, and can also be used to treat placenta, scrofula phlegm nucleus and other manifestations. Because musk is scarce and belongs to animal drugs, artificial musk is mostly used instead at this stage. However, animal musk is considered to be superior to artificial musk at this stage.
