Note: When purchasing Panax notoginseng, you'd better buy a big, solid, slippery and claw-free one. The best way to treat Panax notoginseng is to fry it in chicken oil until it is slightly yellow, and then cool it and break it with a hammer. This can change its nature as a trauma medicine and enhance the nourishing effect of Panax notoginseng.

Moderate salty taste can nourish the kidney, while excessive salty taste will hurt the kidney.
