The name of Sanqi was first seen in the book "Herbal Medicine in Southern Yunnan" in the Ming Dynasty, which recorded: "Sanqi tastes bitter and cures injuries from falls. Use blood to break blood and use blood to enrich blood. " However, according to the textual research of later scholars, the pseudo-ginseng here should be the traditional Chinese medicine pseudo-ginseng. Strictly speaking, Notoginseng refers to some herbs with similar effects of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.
Sedum notoginseng and Chrysanthemum notoginseng are the mainstream varieties of Panax notoginseng. Sedum notoginseng is an excellent plant of Sedum family, which is used as whole grass, also known as flying cabbage, notoginseng and so on. Has hemostatic, analgesic, blood stasis removing, and repercussive effects. Panax notoginseng is also a kind of health-care vegetable with dual functions of medicine and food. Rich in nutrition, it can be fried, stewed and made into soup. There are no reports of liver injury.
Chrysanthemum notoginseng, also known as chrysanthemum leaf notoginseng, comes from compositae plants and is different! Chrysanthemum notoginseng was first included in the book "Common Chinese Medicinal Materials in Tibet" published by 197 1, but it didn't last long as a medicine. Chrysanthemum notoginseng can promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, which is only one word away from notoginseng and is mistaken for non-toxic by many people. In addition, it is widely distributed and easily available, so people often use Chrysanthemum Notoginseng to treat diseases or take it as a health care product. Therefore, cases of liver poisoning and even death caused by taking inulin have been reported.
Clinical and experimental liver injury report
Toxic manifestations:
According to the literature, two patients had no history of liver disease before they got sick. After taking a large amount of Notoginseng Radix, it developed after an incubation period of about 1 week, showing abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, hepatosplenomegaly, massive ascites, jaundice, severely damaged liver function in a short time, and finally died of liver failure.
Long-term toxicity test shows that inulin has hepatotoxicity and can cause necrosis of liver parenchyma cells in rats and rabbits. Short-term high-dose inulin can cause large-area liver necrosis in rats, while long-term low-dose inulin can cause liver necrosis and portal vein occlusion.
This product is a local medicine, and people have the habit of taking it. Therefore, we should pay attention to its hepatotoxicity, control the clinical dosage and check the liver function regularly.
There is also a kind of rattan notoginseng, which is sunflower potato. This is another name. Sunflower potato is a perennial twining vine of Solanum, also known as sunflower and vine. There are only two genera and three species of malachite in China, and malachite potato is a naturalized plant, which was introduced into China in the 1970s. Tengsanqi contains polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, amino acids, vitamins and other components. The main medicinal part is the medulla oblongata, which has the function of nourishing and strengthening the waist and knees. External use can reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis, and is mainly used to treat waist and knee pain, weakness after illness, traumatic injury and fracture. Potato extract has the effects of scavenging oxygen free radicals and resisting lipid peroxidation. The leaves and shoots of potatoes can be eaten as vegetables. The leaves and bulbils of Panax notoginseng are edible, with comprehensive nutrients and special functional components. In particular, the iron content is relatively high, about 2mg per 100g leaf.
