Panax notoginseng is a tropical plant left over from ancient times, with a small distribution range. Panax notoginseng is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine. It is used as medicine by roots and stems, and the leaves of the same plant can also be used as medicine. After being soaked in water, it can be used as a substitute for tea.

Panax notoginseng is a perennial herb of Araliaceae, which has the effect of "beating raw materials and tonifying cooked materials", that is to say, taking raw Panax notoginseng can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and has a good effect on treating traumatic injury; Taking cooked Panax notoginseng can enrich blood and strengthen the body.

The ancestors of Yunnan Miao Autonomous Region have the habit of living in the mountains. They are good at hunting, and it is inevitable that they will encounter traumatic bleeding during hunting. They chewed a kind of wild grass and applied it to the traumatic bleeding place, and the bleeding stopped as if it were sealed by paint. Miao ancestors called this weed "mountain lacquer". This magical herb has been handed down from generation to generation among the people. Because "Mountain lacquer" is homophonic with "Sanqi", it was recorded as "Sanqi" in circulation. Myth about Sanqi

In ancient times, there lived a young couple halfway up Laojun Mountain. They lived a fairy-like life, singing, dancing, hunting and playing every day. One day, they came to the Longtan at the foot of the mountain to play again, when they saw a sika deer galloping away from the bamboo bushes. They chased after the deer and tried to catch it, but the woman accidentally stepped over a stone and rolled down the mountain. The man rushed down the hill and saw that she was scarred and bloodied and was dying. He buried her in situ and waited at the grave. Strangely enough, on the first day of burial, the earth grave was covered with three plants with seven leaves. Later, the top of the plant was covered with round red flowers, covering the grave like a red blanket. Slowly, the roots of the plants showed many human shapes. The man stayed like this all day, and fell asleep unconsciously. It has been several years since he woke up again. He also magically saw the sleeping lady. Her scars were gone and she was more beautiful than ever. He smiled and lifted her up in his arms, and they started a new happy life. The plant that saved them was called "Sanqi" because it had three branches and seven leaves. Since then, they have planted Panax notoginseng to treat people and specialize in practicing medicine. Notoginseng was handed down in this way. Panax notoginseng has been used as a medicine for thousands of years.

Notoginseng is a pearl in Chinese herbal medicine. It is recorded in the Qing Dynasty's pharmaceutical work Compendium of Materia Medica: "Ginseng is the first to replenish qi, Notoginseng is the first to replenish blood, and its taste is the same, but its merits are equal, so it is called Ginseng Notoginseng, which is the most precious of Chinese herbal medicines." The famous Chinese patent medicines "Yunnan Baiyao" and "Pianzihuang" are made of notoginseng as the main raw material. The new edition of Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Sanqi root is the god medicine to stop bleeding. Regardless of the upper, middle and lower blood, it is effective to use it alone, especially when it is added to qi-invigorating and blood-tonifying drugs. If you cover this medicine, you can make it up without boiling, and if you make it up with red, you can have a quiet rest. < P > Notoginseng Radix has hemostatic effect and can shorten coagulation time; It has obvious anticoagulant effect, can inhibit platelet aggregation, promote fibrinolysis and reduce blood viscosity; It can increase coronary blood flow, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, increase cardiac output, and has anti-arrhythmia effect; Has sedative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; Has the effects of protecting liver, regulating glucose metabolism, resisting aging and resisting tumor; It can enhance the function of adrenal cortex.
