Tianqi, also known as Sanqi (三七), a famous specialty of Guangxi and Yunnan, is a plant of the genus Ginseng of the family Wujiake (五加科), which is a perennial herb, and is used for medicinal purposes in the underground stems of its plant. It is a perennial herb with its underground stem used for medicinal purposes. It was originally self-generated in the mountains and fields, and was discovered and adopted by our people a long time ago, and then turned into artificial cultivation. Because this plant generally has three petioles per plant, and each petiole often has seven leaves, it is commonly known as "Sanqi". According to the Qing Dynasty "Quishun Prefecture Zhi", "Panax notoginseng ...... is the best for those produced in Tianzhou", and the Qing Dynasty "Baise Hall Zhi", Volume 3, also said that because Panax notoginseng is from Tianzhou, it is "commonly known as Panax notoginseng".
Tianqi is a kind of valuable medicinal village, which is an excellent variety of ginseng with unique functions. According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi has a slightly sweet and bitter taste, quite similar to the taste of ginseng, and is known as the "Golden Ginseng". Zhao Xuemin of the Qing Dynasty wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying: "Ginseng is the first to replenish gas, and Panax ginseng is the first to replenish blood, with the same flavor and the same function; therefore, it is called ginseng and Panax ginseng, and it is the most precious one in traditional Chinese medicine." The Compendium of Materia Medica also says, "Tianqi is the main treatment for stopping bleeding, dispersing blood, stabilizing pain, gold blade and arrow injuries, falling, beating, and sores with blood coming out more than once, chewing the material and coating, or mixing it with the end, and the blood stops." "It is used in the military of the south as the key medicine for gold sores," and says, "It is also the main treatment for vomiting blood and sores, and is also the main treatment for vomiting blood, vomiting blood, and sores. "It is also used for vomiting blood, epistaxis, hematemesis, blood bites and insect injuries, dysentery", "hematemesis in the large intestine, hematochezia of women, postpartum hemorrhage, postpartum blood, red eyes of men and women, nameless carbuncles and swellings, and tiger bites and insect injuries", and so on. According to drug analysis, Tianqi mainly contains six kinds of saponins and glutenol, carotene, flavonoids. Saponin is the main component of ginseng, which is useful for enhancing physical strength, improving oxygen metabolism of the heart muscle, and improving the tolerance of animals to hypoxia. Ancient medicinal books say that Tianqi has the same function as ginseng, which is not a false statement. Sterols and carotenoids can lower blood lipids, and flavonoids are effective components in expanding coronary arteries, improving myocardial blood supply, and increasing vascular elasticity. Thus, eating Tianqi often not only has significant curative effect on coronary heart disease and angina, but also has preventive function on coronary heart disease and angina. Those who are not sick can take it to prevent coronary heart disease and nourish and strengthen the body.
Tianqi should be used according to the purpose of use to determine the use. Different methods of serving, the efficacy is very different. Generally speaking, raw Radix Panax quinquefolii can make blood vessels constricted, is the treatment of bruises and cuts of the special medicine, can achieve the effect of medicine to the blood stop. Tianqi powder, with wine into a paste, applied to sores and gangrene, can play the role of blood dissipation and swelling. The internal consumption of Radix Panax quinquefolii should be made according to the condition: to disperse blood, stop bleeding and relieve pain, raw Radix Panax quinquefolii should be served; to replenish blood and body, cooked Radix Panax quinquefolii should be served. The preparation method of cooked Radix Panax pseudoginseng is to cut the raw Radix Panax pseudoginseng into slices, soak it in salt water, dry it in the sun and then grind it into fine powder. There are also raw Radix Panax notoginseng in a small bowl, the bowl built-in water, the amount of water to Radix Panax notoginseng can absorb the degree of dryness, and then steamed soft, sliced, fried in oil to yellow, crispy, but not burnt, and then into a powder, it will be ripe Radix Panax notoginseng. Both methods can be used. Cooked Radix Panax quinquefolius has the functions of tonifying qi, activating blood, replenishing blood, removing blood stasis and generating new blood. Stewing chicken with cooked Radix Panax quinquefolius is an excellent tonic for women after giving birth. In the famous recipe of Guangxi, it is called "Stewed Chicken with Radix Panax Quinquefolii". The cooked Radix Panax Quinquefolii with Radix Astragali, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Fructus Lycii, Cortex Eucommiae and other medicinal herbs dipped in wine is "Radix Panax Quinquefolii Great Complementary Wine", which can replenish the blood and tonify the qi, soothe the tendons and activate the collaterals, promote the human metabolism and enhance the health, and it is a top quality of the medicinal wine.
