During many people's trips to Japan, they are surprised to find that the locals commonly use a traditional Chinese medicine, Panax notoginseng, as an ingredient. They incorporate notoginseng powder into dishes, make milk tea, and even many people take notoginseng powder for a long time to maintain their health.
Some people associate long-term consumption of Panax notoginseng powder with longevity in Japan. Gradually, rumors spread that long-term consumption of Panax notoginseng powder can lead to longevity and prevent diseases, however, is this true?
Panax notoginseng, also known as Jin Buchang, blood ginseng, is recorded in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, so it is regarded by many people as a health care product and taken for a long time.
Many people grind Panax notoginseng into powder and take it directly with water, hoping to strengthen the body and delay aging. Grandma Tian is one of them, and she is 65 years old this year.
After hearing that insisting on drinking notoginseng powder can maintain health and prevent cardiovascular diseases, she got some notoginseng from her hometown, made notoginseng powder, and insisted on taking it.
However, after a period of time, Grandma Tian did not feel that her physical condition had improved, but instead had persistent headaches, dizziness and other problems.
When I went to the hospital for an examination, I found that her blood pressure was not well controlled, which almost induced a cerebral infarction. It turned out that in order to drink Panax notoginseng powder to maintain her health, Grandma Tian stopped her daily blood pressure medication, thinking that as long as she ate Panax notoginseng powder, she could lower her blood pressure, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Can a spoonful of Panax notoginseng powder a day really eliminate all diseases?
Panax notoginseng, which is known as the treasure of the Panax notoginseng plant of the five family of Panax notoginseng, which is known as "gold does not change" and "Tian Sanqi". Its roots and rhizomes have been dried to become a miraculous herb in traditional Chinese medicine.
Invigorating blood and relieving pain, stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, replenishing blood and nourishing blood, these are its miraculous effects. Therefore, it is praised as "ginseng is the first to replenish qi, and notoginseng is the first to invigorate blood".
Modern pharmacological research has deeply explored its mysteries and found that Panax notoginseng contains a variety of saponin active substances, amino acids and trace elements.
These elements have significant effects on regulating the central nervous system, cardiovascular, blood and other systems, and have a positive significance for preventive health care and adjuvant treatment of diseases.
However, there are endless sayings about Panax notoginseng on the market, such as "a spoonful of Panax notoginseng powder will eliminate all diseases all over the body", "It is better to take Western medicine to lower blood pressure than a spoonful of Panax notoginseng powder every day" and so on.
Although these words are tempting, they may not be credible, you know, many pharmacological experiments and studies use the extract of Panax notoginseng, and the concentration of Panax notoginseng powder that we eat daily is far from comparable, and many experiments are still in the animal research stage, and the human effect is still unknown.
Therefore, although Panax notoginseng is good, it is not a "panacea". We can't blindly pursue it, let alone let it replace blood pressure medication or other curative drugs.
If you take notoginseng indiscriminately and stop the regular treatment drugs without authorization, the consequences may be unimaginable, remember, although notoginseng is good, it must be used scientifically!

Doctor appeals: Panax notoginseng powder can't be eaten casually!
Panax notoginseng powder, this mysterious golden powder, is carefully ground from the precious taproot of the Panax notoginseng plant, known as "gold does not change" and "field notoginseng powder".
In the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, Panax notoginseng powder has a warm and bitter taste, penetrating deep into the liver meridian, stomach meridian and large intestine meridian, like a hidden healer. It shoulders the mission of detoxification and liver protection, blood circulation and blood stasis, swelling and pain reduction, whitening and freckle removal.
So, can cerebral infarction, the invisible killer in modern life, be tamed by this little Panax notoginseng powder?
Cerebral infarction, a silent disease, is actually caused by high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, high blood sugar, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, and genetic factors.
For those who are already in danger, and for those who may be in danger, we need to find a safe, effective way to defend ourselves.
Large-scale clinical trials and evidence-based medicine have proven that by standardizing the use of anticoagulant drugs, statins, antiplatelet drugs, etc., we can effectively fight cerebral infarction and prevent its recurrence.
However, although Panax notoginseng powder has shown potential in pharmacological studies to prevent platelets and dilate blood vessels, there is still no authoritative guideline recommending the use of Panax notoginseng powder for the prevention or treatment of cerebral infarction.
Lin Chen, a TCM physician, reminds us that Panax notoginseng powder is not suitable for every patient with cardiovascular disease. In particular, those who are over 60 years old and whose physical functions are gradually declining, their drug absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion processes will change, and their sensitivity and tolerance to drugs will be reduced.
If they self-administer Panax notoginseng powder without understanding the efficacy of the drug, it may cause adverse reactions, increase the risk of drug accumulation, or even have the opposite effect.
Therefore, in the face of the threat of cerebral infarction, we need to adopt scientific and standardized treatment, and Panax notoginseng powder, although it has many miraculous effects, still needs to be treated with caution, in the search for health and balance, we need to always be vigilant, respect science, cherish life.
