The efficacy and function of Tianshanqi

What are the effects and functions of Tianshanqi?

Panax notoginseng is also known as Panax notoginseng. Panax notoginseng can stop bleeding, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Panax notoginseng can dilate blood vessels, has the benefit of reducing coronary artery resistance, and can increase coronary artery flow. Panax notoginseng can treat coronary heart disease with relatively good results. Panax notoginseng can replenish blood and treat bronchiectasis. Panax notoginseng has many benefits to the human body. What are the effects and functions of Panax notoginseng? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Introduction to Panax notoginseng

Panax notoginseng, also known as Tianqi, was called "invaluable" by Li Shizhen, a famous pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty. Panax notoginseng is a pearl among Chinese medicinal materials. It is recorded in the Qing Dynasty pharmaceutical work "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ginseng is the best for replenishing qi, and Panax notoginseng is the best for replenishing blood. They have the same taste and efficacy, so they are called ginseng and Panax notoginseng, which is the most precious of Chinese medicines." The world-famous Chinese patent medicines "Yunnan Baiyao" and "Pian Zai Huang" are made with Panax notoginseng as the main raw material. Panax notoginseng is a perennial herb of the Araliaceae family. It is named Panax notoginseng because it is dug three to seven years after sowing and each plant has three petioles, each petiole has seven leaves. Its stems, leaves and flowers can all be used as medicine. Among them, the most famous Tianqi product is Tianqi toothpaste produced in Wuzhou, Guangxi, which is also a well-known domestic toothpaste brand.

2. What are the effects and functions of Tianshanqi?

1. Panax notoginseng has good hemostatic effect and can significantly shorten bleeding and coagulation time. Studies have shown that the main hemostatic component of Panax notoginseng is dencichine. Notoginseng can promote platelet aggregation and deformation, release substances such as ADP, platelet factor III and calcium ions to achieve hemostasis. It is reported that the cure rate of using Panax notoginseng injection and Panax notoginseng to treat gastrointestinal bleeding such as gastric ulcer, bleeding duodenal bulb ulcer and chronic gastritis is over 92.0%.

Panax notoginseng is used to treat patients with bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis and lung abscess combined with hemoptysis. After 5 days of medication, more than 80% of the patients have complete hemostasis. Panax notoginseng has been widely used in clinical treatment of various traumatic bleeding and various endogenous blood diseases.

2. Panax notoginseng can promote the division and growth of various blood cells and increase their number, and has a significant blood-replenishing effect. Experiments have found that Panax notoginseng can significantly increase the number of red blood cells in pathological models of hemorrhagic anemia (rats and rabbits), and has a good therapeutic effect on hemorrhagic anemia.

In addition to increasing the total number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood of mice, Panax notoginseng total saponins can also significantly increase the phagocytic rate of macrophages and increase the percentage of lymphocytes in the blood.

3. Panax notoginseng has obvious therapeutic effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and promoting new blood circulation. Experiments have shown that total saponins of Panax notoginseng can significantly inhibit the formation of aortic intimal plaques in rabbits with experimental atherosclerosis.

3. The effect of Panax notoginseng on the cardiovascular system

Experiments have shown that Panax notoginseng can significantly dilate blood vessels, reduce coronary resistance, increase coronary flow, strengthen and improve coronary microcirculation, and increase nutritional myocardial blood flow. At the same time, it can lower arterial pressure, slightly reduce heart rate, and reduce cardiac workload, thereby significantly reducing myocardial oxygen consumption. It can be used to treat myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris, and shock. Experiments have shown that Panax notoginseng total saponins have a certain degree of antagonistic effect on a variety of experimental arrhythmia models. It is reported that the total effective rate of using raw Panax notoginseng to treat patients with coronary heart disease is 97%, of which the significant effective rate is 42.5%.
