The easiest way is to drink it in water. If you feel that this method slows down the absorption of the drug, you can also go to some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals to grind the dried Panax notoginseng into Panax notoginseng powder. After that, the method of consuming Panax notoginseng powder is relatively simple.

"Freeze-dried Panax notoginseng" is a new method of drying Panax notoginseng, and is a major scientific research achievement in applying vacuum low-temperature freeze-drying technology to drying Panax notoginseng. Compared with ordinary dried Panax notoginseng, the appearance of "freeze-dried Panax notoginseng" retains the shape and crispness of fresh Panax notoginseng, and retains the effective ingredients of fresh Panax notoginseng to the maximum extent. It can be taken directly, overcoming the problem that traditional dried Panax notoginseng is not easy to crush and take.

At the same time, the Chinese medicine preparation standards for "freeze-dried Panax notoginseng" have also been formulated. "Freeze-dried Panax notoginseng" is a processed product of fresh Panax notoginseng. It is made by taking the main root or main root and rhizome of fresh Panax notoginseng, selecting, washing, and freeze-drying it. The freeze-dried Panax notoginseng is conical or cylindrical in shape, 1 to 6 cm long and 1 to 4 cm in diameter. The surface is light yellow-green, grayish white or gray-brown, with intermittent longitudinal wrinkles and root marks. There is a stem scar at the top, surrounded by tumor-like protrusions or green buds. It is light and brittle, with a gray-green or gray-yellow-green cross section. The wood is slightly radially arranged, and cracks are often visible in the center. Slight smell, bitter taste with sweet aftertaste.

Hot air drying: Traditional hot air drying has a greater impact on Panax notoginseng. Hot air drying uses hot air to accelerate the drying process. The finished product after drying has severe wrinkling on the surface, hard texture, and difficult to slice and crush. The heat-sensitive nutrients are destroyed during the high-temperature drying process, and the medicinal taste is lighter. This method is also prone to produce wet inside and dry outside. If it is not dried thoroughly, it is easy to mold during storage, which greatly affects the product quality.

Vacuum freeze drying: that is what we call freeze drying. The finished product after drying can maintain its original properties, the skin does not shrink, the texture is crisp, and it has a porous and loose structure. The heat-sensitive nutrients will not be destroyed during the low-temperature drying process. The medicinal flavor is strong and the taste of fresh products is maintained. After adding water for 5 minutes, the properties of fresh products are basically restored, which is close to fresh products.
