The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the window lattice, sprinkled on the delicate tea table, a cup of warm water, a spoonful of delicate light yellow powder slowly dissolves, diffusing a faint fragrance, this is the daily life of many people in pursuit of health preservation, and this seemingly ordinary drink, but contains the "notoginseng" - the mystery of the thousand-year-old inheritance of this "southern sacred grass".
When we open the ancient books and explore the legendary past of Panax notoginseng, we find that this "divine grass" that has been endowed with countless halos is now mired in the mystery of the rivers and lakes where it is difficult to distinguish between true and false
Sanqi, is it a veritable "health holy product" or an over-touted "marketing gimmick"? How do we clear the fog and find the real "Southern Divine Grass"?

The picture comes from the Internet
To solve the mystery of Sanqi fans, we might as well trace its history and return to that period of time when legends and reality were intertwined
Panax notoginseng, also known as Tian Qi, gold does not change, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Panaxaceae, mainly grows in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places in the mainland, about its name, there is a moving legend: according to legend, a medicine farmer in ancient times, rescued a seriously injured small snake, the small snake in order to repay the favor, a herb, and with the tail on the ground three times, seven traces, indicating that this herb needs three years and seven years to mature, this is the origin of the name "Sanqi".
The legend may be difficult to distinguish between true and false, but the medicinal value of Panax notoginseng has been verified in the long history, as early as the Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it recorded the efficacy of Panax notoginseng: "Panax notoginseng, sweet and slightly bitter, flat in nature, is a holy product for healing wounds and stopping bleeding" In ancient times, Panax notoginseng is a precious Chinese medicinal material, known as "gold does not change", often used to treat bruises, blood circulation and blood stasis
Modern medical research has also confirmed the medicinal value of Panax notoginseng, and studies have shown that Panax notoginseng contains a variety of active ingredients, such as notoginseng saponins, Panax notoginseng polysaccharides, flavonoids, etc., which have the effects of blood circulation and blood stasis, hemostasis and pain relief, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardiovascular protection

2. The chain of interests behind "Shencao": a carnival of profit-seeking
What is the reason for the chaos in the notoginseng powder market? The answer may lie behind the word "interests".

From planting, processing, sales to publicity, every link is full of the temptation of profits, but also breeds all kinds of chaos
In the planting process, some businesses blindly pursue rapid growth in order to pursue yield and efficiency, use excessive chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and even use hormones to mature, resulting in a decline in the quality of Panax notoginseng and a great reduction in efficacy
In the processing process, in order to reduce costs, some businesses use inferior raw materials, or mix the stems, leaves, roots and other parts of Panax notoginseng into it, which is shoddy, and even worse, directly use other plant powders to pass off as Panax notoginseng powder to make huge profits
In the sales and publicity process, in order to attract consumers, some merchants exaggerate the efficacy of Panax notoginseng powder, boast that it is a "miracle drug" that "cures all diseases", and even fabricate false cases to mislead consumers

In this profit-seeking frenzy, the most affected are undoubtedly consumers, who pay high prices for counterfeit products that may be ineffective and may even cause damage to health
