Sanqi Sanqi is a kind of medicine, its scientific name is Sanqi, and its alias is Sanqi. According to the records in Gui Zhou Shun Lu in Qing Dynasty, "Sanqi ... takes Tianzhou producers as the top priority", and Volume III of Baise Tanglu in Qing Dynasty also said that Sanqi actually came from Tianzhou, so it was commonly known as Tianqi. Sanqi (Burke. F.H. Chen is a perennial herb of Panax in Araliaceae, and its underground stems can be used medicinally. It is native to Shan Ye, discovered and adopted a long time ago, and then cultivated artificially. It is a rare Chinese herbal medicine unique to China and one of the earliest medicinal and edible plants in China. Since ancient times, Notoginseng has been recognized as having remarkable effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and has the reputation of "gold will not be exchanged" and "southern fairy grass". Because the branch is divided into three branches and seven pieces, it is called "Sanqi", also known as Tianqi, Jin Buhuan and so on. In ancient times, it was also called Zhao Shen, Shen Xue, Sanqi, Sanqi, Mountain lacquer, Sanqi and so on. It is a specialty of Guangxi and Yunnan in China. In recent years, it has been produced in many counties in the south of the Yangtze River and Guangdong. Generally speaking, it is customary to call those produced in Wenshan, Yunnan, Sanqi and those produced in Guangxi, Tianqi. Panax notoginseng is a precious medicine town and an excellent variety of ginseng, which has unique functions. According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi is "slightly sweet and slightly bitter, quite like the taste of ginseng", and is known as "gold never changes". Zhao Xuemin's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Qing Dynasty said: "Ginseng is the first to tonify qi, and Sanqi is the first to tonify blood. It has the same taste and the same work, so it is called Ginseng Sanqi, which is the most precious Chinese medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that Tianqi "is mainly used to stop bleeding, disperse blood and relieve pain, and treat arrow wound in Phnom Penh. For example, if the stick is bleeding and the chewing material is rotten or mixed, the blood will stop. "The South People's Army regards it as a medicine for golden sores" and says that "it is also mainly used for vomiting blood, bleeding and biting insects. According to drug analysis, Panax notoginseng mainly contains six saponins, sitosterol, carotene and flavonoids. Saponins are the main components of ginseng, which play an important role in strengthening physical strength, improving myocardial oxygen metabolism and improving animal hypoxia tolerance. It is true that the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine say that Tianqi "works with ginseng" is not empty talk. Sitosterol and carotene can reduce blood lipid, while flavonoids are effective components to dilate coronary artery, improve myocardial blood supply and increase vascular elasticity. Therefore, regular consumption of Tianqi not only has a significant effect on coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, but also has a preventive effect on coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. It can prevent coronary heart disease, nourish and strengthen the body. Panax notoginseng should be used according to the purpose of use. Different administration methods have different effects. Generally speaking, raw Panax notoginseng can make blood vessels contract, and it is a specific medicine for treating traumatic injury, which can really achieve the effect of hemostasis. Notoginseng Radix is made into paste with wine, and applied to sores and gangrene, which can promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. The oral administration of Notoginseng should depend on the condition: taking raw Notoginseng, promoting blood circulation, stopping bleeding and relieving pain; It is necessary to eat cooked notoginseng to replenish blood and strengthen the body. The preparation method of cooked Radix Notoginseng is to cut raw Radix Notoginseng into pieces, soak in salt water, dry in the sun, and grind into fine powder. Some people put raw notoginseng in a small bowl, which is filled with clear water. Water can be absorbed by Panax notoginseng, then steamed and sliced, fried to yellow, crisp but not burnt, and then ground into powder to make Panax notoginseng mature. Both methods are acceptable. Cooked notoginseng has the functions of invigorating qi, promoting blood circulation, enriching blood, removing blood stasis and promoting granulation. Cooked chicken stew with notoginseng is a good tonic for women to take after childbirth. On the famous menu in Guangxi, this is called "Tianqi Stewed Chicken". Soak the cooked Radix Notoginseng with Radix Notoginseng, Radix Codonopsis, Fructus Lycii, Eucommiae Cortex, etc. It is "Tianqi tonic wine", which can replenish blood and qi in the morning and evening, relax tendons and activate collaterals, promote human metabolism and improve health, and is the top grade of medicinal liquor. In recent years, Tianqi toothpaste made from Tianqi has a good effect in preventing and treating dental diseases. Notoginseng sold in the market now is generally raw, and now it is basically unnecessary to cook Notoginseng. More importantly, take Sanqi to identify physical fitness. If it is a deficiency syndrome, especially qi deficiency bleeding or severe arrhythmia, it is harmful to eat only notoginseng. If it is used to dredge blood vessels, it can only be eaten raw. Panax notoginseng has a strong effect of removing blood stasis. It is said that a butcher killed a pig and got a big basin of pig blood. Because his hand was cut, he hurriedly took Panax notoginseng to apply to the wound, and hurriedly sprinkled some Panax notoginseng in the solidified pig blood. Soon, pig blood turned into blood. Therefore, the method of identifying the authenticity of Panax notoginseng is often used to test blood clots. What can melt blood is true notoginseng, otherwise it is false notoginseng. When buying Tianqi, you'd better buy a big, solid, slippery, claw-free one. Panax notoginseng is a perennial plant, which takes more than three years to harvest. The longer the planting period, the bigger the head and the better the quality. Therefore, the size of Panax notoginseng is based on how many heads (slices) there are per catty. For example, forty heads represent thirty-one to forty per catty, sixty heads represent forty-one to sixty per catty, and one hundred and twenty heads represent eighty-one to one hundred and twenty per catty; Folk classification is not so strict, 120 generally means no more than 130 per catty, and 80 means no more than 85 per catty. In short, the more people there are, the smaller Tianqi is, the less people there are, and the bigger Tianqi is. Notoginseng with twenty or forty heads generally needs to be planted for more than seven years, and it is the best of Notoginseng. Sanqi should also be properly processed. After digging it back, it should be washed, cut off from the fibrous roots (dried or used as medicine), exposed to the sun, and rubbed while drying until all the roots are dry and there are no traces of biting. If it is processed to the final stage, the surface will be smoother and rounder if it is rubbed with a small board. In case of rainy weather, it should be dried with charcoal fire, and the firepower should be 30-35 degrees Celsius. Also turn it over frequently, and don't stop the fire when baking, so as to avoid the phenomenon of "sweating back" when the temperature drops. A large number of panax notoginseng should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to prevent moisture, mildew or moth-eaten; A small amount can be stored in a sealed bottle for a long time.
