Modern people have sub-health problems because of the increasing pressure of life and work, so more and more people have joined the team of health preservation, among which eating Chinese medicine is the most common practice. Panax notoginseng, as a common Chinese herbal medicine, is also at the head of the health care team, and even extends the saying that "if you have a disease, you can cure it, but you can't get sick." Is Panax notoginseng really that "divine"? Panax notoginseng is known as the head of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis". What effect does it have? Under normal circumstances, Sanqi can be excavated within three to seven years after sowing, because each plant has three petioles and each petiole has seven leaves, so it is named Sanqi, and Li Shizhen, the father of ancient pharmacy, also called it "gold does not change". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Sanqi has six main functions. 1. Hemostasis: Notoginseng Radix can promote the aggregation of platelets in the blood and has the effect of hemostasis. At the same time, it also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it can treat the symptoms of gastric bleeding caused by chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer with a cure rate of over 90%. General traumatic bleeding can also be stopped by external application of panax pseudo-ginseng. At present, Notoginseng Radix is widely used in the treatment of traumatic bleeding and endotoxemia. 2. Enriching blood: The mice were irradiated with radiation and injected with Panax Notoginseng saponins for six consecutive days. The results showed that Panax Notoginseng could promote the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and improve the problem of acute hemorrhagic anemia in experimental mice. At present, it is also considered that Panax Notoginseng can promote the proliferation and release of blood cells and has the effect of enriching blood and hematopoiesis. 3. Anti-aging: Proper consumption of Panax notoginseng can remove lipid peroxide and increase superoxide dismutase in the body, so it can organize cells, reduce facial wrinkles and age spots and effectively delay the aging speed. Fourth, protecting the liver: Notoginseng Radix mainly belongs to the liver meridian and stomach meridian of human body. After injecting Notoginseng Radix extract into experimental rats for six days, it was found that Notoginseng Radix can inhibit the liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride and promote the repair of liver DNA and protein. 5. Anti-tumor: Panax Notoginseng saponins in Panax Notoginseng can improve the phagocytosis of macrophages and increase the total number of white blood cells, enhance human immunity, but also inhibit the activity of tumor cells, and inhibit tumor cell differentiation or promote tumor cell apoptosis. Six, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects: Sanqi has the effect of two-way regulation of blood sugar, which has a good therapeutic effect on hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol. At the same time, it can also dilate blood vessels and effectively lower blood pressure, and can also improve the lack of blood oxygen in the heart and brain. These "panax pseudo-ginseng" are not necessarily "Sanqi", which is popular among middle-aged and elderly people because of its remarkable efficacy. However, a company in Beijing discovered the business opportunity of Sanqi. They packaged panax pseudo-ginseng and emphasized that panax pseudo-ginseng can treat 17 kinds of diseases, and the main sales target is middle-aged and elderly people. Later, some media also exposed this incident. In fact, "panax pseudo-ginseng" can't be equated with "Sanqi". The panax pseudo-ginseng sold by a company in Beijing is actually a kind of tea substitute for Sanqi, and its main component is the extract of stems and leaves of Sanqi, not the real powder of roots and whiskers of Sanqi. It remains to be seen how much of Sanqi is in panax pseudo-ginseng. At present, panax pseudo-ginseng has also been classified as a food category by the State Food and Drug Administration, which is often referred to as health food. In addition, the statement that panax pseudo-ginseng has the efficacy of * * * is also false, because no Chinese medicine practitioner has explained that Panax Notoginseng is a "magic medicine" to patients. Deng Cong, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Nansha Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou No.1 Hospital, also stressed that Panax Notoginseng has remarkable efficacy in enriching blood, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, so it is generally necessary to be vigilant if exaggerating the efficacy of Panax Notoginseng. Notoginseng is good, but it is not advisable to eat more. A patient with liver cirrhosis in Wuhan has symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding after taking Notoginseng for a month in a row, and Aunt Li, 50, has symptoms of abdominal distension and discomfort after taking Notoginseng given by a friend for a long time. . . This tells us that taking three or seven hundred by mistake will do no harm. 1. Don't overdo it. People with normal constitution should take less than 9 grams of Panax notoginseng every day and suggest taking it in batches. 2. Notoginseng has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so taking Notoginseng during menstruation may lead to an increase in menstrual blood. 3. Pregnant women should not eat Sanqi during pregnancy, but they can consider taking Sanqi for postpartum blood supplement. 4. Panax notoginseng flowers are slightly cool, so eating Panax notoginseng flowers during a cold will aggravate the discomfort of cold and cold. 5. People who are allergic to Panax notoginseng had better not eat Panax notoginseng to avoid causing skin itching, redness and other discomfort. Notoginseng can be easily purchased now, so everyone must take Notoginseng symptomatically, and pay attention to the contraindications of Notoginseng to avoid taking Notoginseng by mistake and doing harm to health.
