Speaking of nourishing Chinese medicine, many people immediately think of ginseng. But what many people don't know is that Panax notoginseng, also known as "no exchange of gold", is also a Chinese medicine with nourishing value. The book of traditional Chinese medicine says: North Ginseng, South Sanqi. Ginseng is the main tonic, and notoginseng is the main tonic. Both have different effects, but both have strong nourishing effects. Generally speaking, Wenshan Sanqi is the first choice for genuine medicinal materials of Sanqi. The bigger it is, the higher its medicinal value is. In general, how many heads are used to represent Sanqi, such as 20 heads and 30 heads.

However, the texture of Panax notoginseng is very hard, commonly known as "copper skin and iron bone, lion head", and it is difficult to dissolve the effective components by general processing methods. The best way to eat it is to grind it into powder. If conditions permit, it is suggested that after buying Panax notoginseng, take it to a pharmacy and watch them use special grinding to process it, so that there will be no problem of cutting corners. If you are afraid of trouble, you can buy ultra-fine notoginseng in Chinese herbal pieces. Personally, I think Panlong Haiyun or Kangmei Pharmaceutical is good. My mother has been eating it for many years. Due to the different processing methods, ultramicro notoginseng can be directly absorbed by pores when placed on the skin. This is impossible for ordinary mills.

I used to eat it directly with a spoon, which didn't taste very good. Later, the hollow capsule was poured into it to eat, and another "poison capsule" incident occurred. Now it is an empty starch capsule. Interested friends can go to the drugstore to buy it themselves. Although the cost of this material is high, personally, what you eat in your mouth is safety first.

Of course, if Panax notoginseng is used for nourishing and health care, it is not recommended to eat more. You can usually eat two to three grams a day. You can stop taking it when the weather is hot in summer. In addition, it is not recommended for children under 10 years old, pregnant women and people with wind-heat cold (yellow nose).
