How to distinguish the true and false of Panax notoginseng powder! the old farmer with 10 years of planting experience will teach you.

It is gold that always glows. Panax notoginseng eats raw blood to remove blood stasis, nourishes blood and solidifies the foundation, and external use can also stop bleeding. Not to mention whether Panax notoginseng is as magical as boasted by the major media, it can cure high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, rheumatism, beauty, and so on. Just from "Panax notoginseng, north ginseng", we can see that Panax notoginseng has a high status in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Now the price of Panax notoginseng is not low, the expensive 20 notoginseng can buy 500 yuan per jin, the cheap 120 can also buy 150 yuan per jin. However, when buying Panax notoginseng powder, they are afraid of being cheated, and sometimes they do not know how to beat the powder when they buy the boss home, or the local merchants do not help with the flour even if they pay for it. So how to distinguish the true and false of Panax notoginseng powder and the good or bad? Next, I would like to introduce to you the experience I have learned from dealing with Panax notoginseng for 10 years.

The most basic elements to identify Panax notoginseng powder are the following: the color, taste, flushing and stirring foam, the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, volume and other aspects to distinguish, the following I will slowly introduce to you.

1. The color of Panax notoginseng powder: the color of Panax notoginseng powder is normally green or yellowish green, slightly white, and there are some small black spots in Panax notoginseng powder. These small black spots are the outermost epidermis of Panax notoginseng.

2. The taste of Panax notoginseng powder: the taste of Panax notoginseng powder is bitter first and then sweet, bitter taste promotes the secretion of saliva in the mouth, and then has a light sweet taste. The taste will not be too bitter, nor will it be sweet from the beginning. Its bitter taste will not stay in the mouth for too long, summed up in five words: when the mouth does not reach the throat, the bitter to the tip of the tongue will return sweet, that is to say, it cannot be bitter to the throat.

3. The foam produced during the brewing of Panax notoginseng powder: Panax notoginseng powder contains Panax notoginseng saponins. When mixing with warm water, there is a layer of uniform and delicate foam on the surface of the cup. After stopping stirring, the foam slowly disappears.

4. The volume of Panax notoginseng powder: the density of Panax notoginseng powder is relatively large, so the volume after beating powder will be relatively small, the Panax notoginseng powder in the bottle is relatively tight, there will not be the feeling of bubbles. The smaller the volume, the better the quality of Panax notoginseng powder!

5. Panax notoginseng powder plus chicken blood experiment: this is the most basic experiment to distinguish whether it is Panax notoginseng powder or not. First of all, you need to go to the market to buy a chicken clot without salt, or when you kill a chicken, you can keep some and add Panax notoginseng powder, because the real Panax notoginseng powder has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which will slowly turn the chicken blood clot into blood rather than caking.

This is the method I summed up on how to distinguish between true and false Panax notoginseng powder according to my father's research on the planting of Panax notoginseng and the efficacy of Panax notoginseng powder. I also hope that you can put forward your valuable opinions and your experience in the comments area, and discuss and exchange a lot together.
