Salvage belongs to Panax notoginseng, which is different from what we usually call Panax notoginseng. It belongs to perennial herbs of the family Sedum in the dicotyledonous class, with short rhizomes and thick stems up to 50 cm high. Panax notoginseng usually refers to the perennial erect herbs of the genus Panax ginseng in the dicotyledonous class. Although both have the name of Panax notoginseng, they are not the same. In addition, the distribution of Panax notoginseng in China is much more extensive than that of Panax notoginseng. Panax notoginseng is basically distributed in all provinces in China, but more than Panax notoginseng is distributed in Yunnan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places.

Jingtian Panax notoginseng is rich in alkaloids, Qi Dunguo acid, sitosterol, flavonoids, sedum heptose, fructose and vitamins and other pharmaceutical ingredients. These drug ingredients can reduce blood pressure, prevent stroke and prevent heart disease (such as coronary heart disease, paroxysmal tachycardia, arrhythmia, rheumatic heart disease, etc.) by preventing atherosclerosis, reducing blood lipids, dilating cerebral vessels and improving coronary artery circulation. This is the main origin of the name of its heart-saving vegetable.
