In recent days, the customs authorities at the long sandflower airport have found strange objects in the luggage of passengers entering the country: several small pieces of unearthed bark weighing 0. 51 kg (approximately 1 pound) and also bearing mold and worm holes. The bark has now been completely sequestered by customs and sent to the laboratory for further testing。

It is unique that, on 10 december 2021, the yellow flower airport customs also seized 6. 87 kg of raw wood bark. I'm sure you'll all wonder: why bring a pile of bark when it's not easy to come all the way home without something good? According to the passenger, he had taken the bark home for his own water. Do these barks have any special effect

It turns out that these barks are really big, they're from cabinda, africa. Cabinda trees are found in tropical areas along the western coast of africa, especially in the province of cabinda in angola, and are therefore known. Cabinda bark is a local herbal medicine that has been endemic in africa for a long time, which can be ploughed into powder or baptized alcohol, and which can lift up, similar to coffee。
It also has a more visible role in treating male sexual dysfunction, with a “victoria”-like positive effect, with a strong european presence, and later in china, with many businesses selling cabinda bark online。

Why would cabinda bark do that? There are rumours on the internet that cabinda trees are growing more than 4,000 metres above sea level in cabinda province, angola, where the oxygen is thin, the weather is harsh and the harsh environment gives cabinda trees a strong resistance and a rich nutrient. The angolan ministry of health had conducted surveys in some of the local villages, which were surprising: 80 per cent of the local population had never been to a hospital because of the strength of the local population, which had long eaten cabinda bark。
This is widespread, but a little in-depth study will reveal that it is untenable. Cabinda province is an enclave on the west coast of africa, with the terrain dominated by plains, while the country's first peak, mount moko, is 2620 metres above sea level, that is to say, not only cabinda province, but also the country as a whole, where there are no more than 4,000 metres above sea level。

Even if the cabinda tree is really growing 4,000 metres above sea level, is its effectiveness due to the harsh environment? It also makes no sense. My country has an average altitude of 4,000 metres in the vagaries and, in some places above 4,000 metres at sea, a small number of trees survive if water is sufficient, but it has not heard of barks with a “vegetative viagra”。
Indeed, cameroon and nigeria are the main producers of cabinda bark, and only one of these countries will have a peak height of 4,000 metres, with the vast majority of cabinda trees growing at less high altitudes. Thus, it is clearly nonsense to say that the cabinda tree, growing in high altitude areas, produces substances capable of being strong and healthy. So, what substance is it that makes cabinda's bark pharmacological
Cabinda bark
The cabinda bark was originally produced from a very low, small tree, with thick and hard branches, particularly resistant to burning, and used by locals for firewood. Some 100 years ago, shepherds discovered that their sheep were twice as spiritual after eating the bark of the “minus tree” and that they could not sleep at night, and then began to use it as a herb, and then europeans began to take it, but only after focusing on its function, they found that it also enhanced the sexual function of men。
Scientists are now using modern technology to analyse the main active substances in cabinda bark, including cognaline, cognaline, amaline, rhohnbin and cognaline. These substances can have a series of complex effects on the nervous system to expand the penis artery, enhance the erection function and increase sexual excavation。

With this "vegetative viagra" effect, cabinda's bark is hard to hide, and it is beginning to become popular among chinese overseas, in addition to europe and america. In addition to the original method used for grinding powder, it has been used as a tablet, a flush, a capsule, etc., and is now promoted as an “ecocosystem” diet: directly using bark to make wine or tea. This is what the first passenger from changsha wanted to use。
As a result, however, there has been a significant increase in the demand for carbinda bark, which has caused the local african cabinda tree to almost die, to the extent that cameroonian parliamentarians have proposed limiting the production of the bark, because in some parts of the country the cabinda tree is nearly extinct。

However, cabinda's bark is not a perfect potion, and while acting as a “vigo”, it has adverse consequences for the cardiovascular system, such as increased blood pressure and faster heartbeats, which have been restricted in many countries. Cabinda bark, which is sold in our country, is also poor, and it is common for it to be perfect and hypocritical。
There is another reason why customs does not allow entry with cabinda bark. It can be seen from the photographs that the barks contain moldy and wormholes and that if it is allowed to enter, it is likely that some harmful insects or microbes will be brought into the country. Some invasive organisms have no natural enemies in our country, and there is a risk of flooding if the environment is appropriate, with significant effects on the country's ecological environment and agricultural production。
The carbinda bark
For example, the infamous american moth, which originated in north america and was fed by tree branches, then entered japan in 1958, arrived in korea in 1961 as human activities and means of delivery spread to europe and asia, first found traces of american moths in our country in 1979 and then spread to large areas of our country, causing serious harm to all types of trees。

The cabinda bark, which is unsanitary and infested, contains no organisms, such as insects and eggs, which, once in the country, can cause harmful biological intrusion. As a result, some fresh objects cannot be brought in by private individuals. According to the list of plants and plants and their products that are prohibited from carrying and mailing in the people's republic of china, all raw or prepared materials for meat, fresh fruit, vegetables and plant reproduction are classified as prohibited goods, and customs will be subject to repatriation or destruction。
It is clear that the entry into the country of cabinda bark, which is unharmed, is in clear violation of the relevant quarantine regulations on entry and exit, and that special attention will be paid when passengers return from africa。
