Is it better to have more or less Panax notoginseng heads? We will encounter this problem when we buy Panax notoginseng. So is it better to have more or less Panax notoginseng heads? What does Panax notoginseng heads mean?

Panax notoginseng, also known as Tianqi, is a local specialty of Wenshan, Yunnan. The "head" of Panax notoginseng refers to the quantity unit of Panax notoginseng. For example, the number of Panax notoginseng in one catty (500 grams) expresses the number of heads of Panax notoginseng. If there are more than 20 Panax notoginseng in one catty, then this is 20 heads of Panax notoginseng. If there are more than 30 Panax notoginseng in one catty, then this is 30 heads of Panax notoginseng. Based on this theory, it is not difficult to see that the "head" of Panax notoginseng expresses the size of Panax notoginseng. More Panax notoginseng heads means more Panax notoginseng in one catty, which means smaller Panax notoginseng. The size of Panax notoginseng is related to the planting period. The longer the planting, the bigger and more effective the Panax notoginseng will be. Therefore, now we know that Panax notoginseng with fewer heads is better than those with more heads.

When eating Panax notoginseng, you should not only consider the number of Panax notoginseng heads but also whether it is Panax notoginseng grown in red soil. The way of eating is also very important. First prepare a small plate or cup, then add 3 grams of Qi Miaoyuan 37 powder and a certain amount of warm water, and then shake the two thoroughly and mix them.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a pair of brothers. The elder brother practices medicine and grows Chinese medicinal herbs every day, but the nephew is lazy and only cares about food and work. One day, my nephew suddenly fell seriously ill and started bleeding from all his orifices. After the elder brother learned about it, he hurriedly dug up a herb and boiled it into soup for his nephew to drink. After taking several doses, my nephew actually recovered. Seeing how unique the fruits of this herb were, the nephew asked his brother for some herb seedlings and planted them in his own garden. In the second year, the herbs were already flourishing.

One day, there was an old rich man in the west of the village. His child also got a bleeding disease and was about to die, so he went to his nephew's house to seek medical treatment and medicine. After hearing the rumor, the nephew dug up the medicinal herb planted in his own garden and boiled it into a soup for the rich man's children to drink. After a few doses, not only did the disease not get cured, but the child died. The rich man went crazy and reported the matter to the county magistrate, and his nephew was arrested. When the elder brother learned about it, he hurried to inform the county magistrate that what his nephew had given to the rich man's son was indeed blood-activating herbs, but these herbs had only grown for one year and had no medicinal effect yet. It would take three to seven years for the medicinal effect to be strongest. This news spread throughout the surrounding area, and everyone knew the planting period of this kind of medicinal herb. Later, people named this kind of herb Panax notoginseng. Although this is just a classic legend of Panax notoginseng, it is true that Panax notoginseng needs to be planted for more than 3 years to have its efficacy and functions.

What is the number of 37? In fact, Panax notoginseng generally refers to the taproot of Panax notoginseng. The number, weight, and medicinal properties of the taproots of each Panax notoginseng plant are different. Therefore, the taproot of Panax notoginseng is measured by "number of heads". The number of Panax notoginseng heads refers to the number of Panax notoginseng in every 500 grams (1 catty) of Panax notoginseng (relative). One Panax notoginseng plant will only produce one taproot. The longer the planting period, the higher the chance of producing large Panax notoginseng and the better the medicinal effect. Therefore, the grade of Panax notoginseng is distinguished by the number of heads. Once we understand the number of Panax notoginseng heads, we will understand that the number of Panax notoginseng heads represents its grade, efficacy and function. The lower the number of Panax notoginseng heads, the heavier the weight of Panax notoginseng, the higher the efficacy and function, and the better the effect of taking it.
