Pseudoginseng Root (Tien Qi or San Qi)

In contrast to Salvia, Pseudoginseng (also called Notoginseng) is in the category of herbs that stop bleeding (hemostatic herbs). In other words it causes blood to clot.

If this seems contradictory to what someone would want for increasing circulation, consider that this herb is unique among hemostatics because it is the only one that also helps disperse stagnant blood. In fact its classical uses include treating pain from stagnant blood, including chest and abdominal pain as well as pain from traumatic injuries.

In addition, like Salvia, Pseudoginseng improves blood flow to the heart while lowering cholesterol. It is a very important herb in the Chinese herbal pharmacy.

"The miracle root for the preservation of health and life," as it is called by the Chinese, stands as one of the most excellent health preserving herbs known to mankind. Panax Pseudoginseng, also commonly called Tienchi ginseng, is a relative of Panax Ginseng. It is a superb blood tonic and blood cleanser when cooked. It is a powerful blood vitalizing agent when consumed raw, and it believed by the Chinese to protect the heart and vascular system. It can be used externally to stop bleeding. It is widely used in Chinese herbalism internally as a tonic after traumatic injury. It is one of China's premier longevity herbs.

Whole, fresh roots of Superior Grade A Tienchi are used to guarantee the total benefits of the most potent ginseng available anywhere. Yunnan Tienchi is worldwide famous for its superior quality, purity and pollutionlessness. Tienchi is called "the pioneer of the ginseng field." Researchers have found up to 42 trace elements and minerals in Tienchi roots. An important element in Tienchi, germanium, is especially prevalent in Yunnan Superior Grade A Tienchi. Germanium is an electrolytic conductor. This makes possible the construction of transistors in the body. Tienchi is believed to help increase the supply of oxygen in the blood.

History China's most famous herbalist, Li Chih Shen, said that "Tienchi is more valuable than gold." Since ancient times Tienchi has been taught as a premier life-preserver and general tonic, building the blood and strengthening the primary energy.

It has long been recognized as one of China's best blood tonics, and has been used to improve circulation and to prevent anxiety. Nutritional Value Like Panax ginseng, a tremendous amount of scientific research has been done on Tienchi. As a matter of fact, Tienchi now seems to be even more valuable, with the research bringing to light a number of actions of this herb that make it of special interest in these modern times. A great deal of scientific research has been conducted on raw Tienchi. Tienchi contains three particularly important substances: Saponin A, Saponin B, and flavonoides. Tienchi is also rich in Iron, Calcium and proteins.

It appears that these substances provide raw material for the human synthesis of major adrenal hormones such as cortisol and reproductive hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Tienchi has also been found to promote non-specific RNA to deploy amino acids to form gamma globulin which acts as an antibody for the control and prevention of general diseases. The most astounding and significant research findings, however, revolve around Tienchi's ability to positively affect the heart and its tributaries. Chinese research indicates that Tienchi increases blood flow in the coronary artery (the artery that supplies the heart itself with blood) and increases the consumption of oxygen in the middle muscular layer of the heart. This results in the lowering of blood pressure and in improving regularity of the heartbeat.

This has led to the finding that Tienchi can prevent insufficiency caused by stagnation of blood in the heart. Research further indicates that Tienchi can relieve chest pain and/or the feeling of oppression in the chest due to angina pectoris induced by coronary insufficiency. Tienchi has also been found to arrest both internal and external bleeding, while being able to disperse blood clots. Tienchi has further been demonstrated to significantly reduce the cholesterol levels in the blood and coatings in the arteries.
