Introduction to the efficacy of panax notoginseng

Panax notoginseng is a wonderful plant. Legend has it that in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which borders on the southwest, Zhuang and Miao people have different living habits: Zhuang people live in Shuitou and Miao people live in the hills. Miao ancestors living in hilly areas are good at hunting, and it is inevitable that they will encounter traumatic bleeding during hunting. So they chewed up a kind of wild grass and applied it to the bleeding place. As soon as the wound was coated, it was sealed and the bleeding stopped. Miao ancestors called this weed "Mountain lacquer". This magical herb has been handed down from generation to generation among the people. Because the sound of "mountain lacquer" is similar to "Sanqi", it is recorded as "Sanqi" in circulation.
