What is the difference between Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng?
Panax notoginseng is closely related to Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolium, both of which belong to Panax quinquefolium. But they have both similarities and obvious differences. Panax notoginseng is adapted to the northern environment and can only survive in a small special area near the southern Tropic of Cancer.
Know these two plants:
Panax notoginseng, also known as Panax ginseng, Panax Panax pseudoginseng var. Notoginseng and Panax Basil, is a precious traditional medicinal herb with high medicinal value. Yunnan Wenshan Panax Notoginseng has the longest planting history, the most authentic quality, and the planting area, output accounts for more than 80% of the country. It has been cultivated for more than 400 years and used for nearly 600 years.
The main medicinal parts are the dried roots and rhizomes of Panaxnotoginseng (Burk. f. H, Chen.

The images also show that Ginseng and Panax notoginseng, both perennial plant, are similar in appearance. Stems erect, glabrous; leaves palmately compound, whorled; umbels solitary terminal, flowers small, yellowish green, petaline, ; Drupe Berrylike. Branches and leaves branch petiole branch, leaves similar, and will produce red seeds.
(1) the main root of panax ginseng is succulent cylindrical or fusiform, the lower part is often branched, the top of which is rhizome with 3 ~ 6 whorled leaves, the top of which is long-stalked, the leaflets are usually 5, elliptic to long-elliptic, the fruit is oblate, red when ripe: flowering 6 ~ 7 months, fruit 7 ~ 9 months. More than in the fall, digging, washing, drying or drying.
5 ~ 7, long ellipsoid to obovate-long ellipsoid: nearly kidney-shaped fruit, red when ripe: flowering 6 ~ 8 months, fruit 8 ~ 10 months. Before flowering in autumn, dig, wash, separate main root, branch root and rhizome, dry.
Chemical similarity keywords:
Ginsenoside is a steroidal compound, triterpenoid saponin. It mainly exists in ginseng. They contain more than 17 amino acids, including arginine, glutamic acid and methionine, all of which contain GABA, which is a central nervous system inhibitor, just opposite to the depolarizing effect of notoginseng. The content of GABA in Panax is similar, and the minimum of GABA in Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng is 1 ~ 4:1. The total amino acid content of ginseng is the highest.
Ginseng contains: Ginsenoside RF, RS1
Panax notoginseng contains: Notoginseng Saponins R 1, R 2, R 4, R 6, FA
Panax ginseng mainly contains triterpenoid saponins, called ginsenosides: tetracyclic triterpenoids of Damastane-type saponins as the main active ingredient, and pentacyclic triterpenoids of oleanane saponins. Contains 0.05% volatile oil, a variety of amino acids, choline, vitamins and polysaccharides and other components.

Notoginseng
Panax notoginseng has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, detumescence and relieving pain.
The results showed that the original Panax notoginseng saponins had anticoagulant effect, and the main substance was ginsenoside RG1, and the content of ginsenoside RG1 in Panax Notoginseng was the highest, therefore, Panax notoginseng is mainly characterized by promoting blood circulation and stanching bleeding in clinic, and ginseng is suitable for various bleeding syndromes both inside and outside human body by nourishing, such as hematochezia, hemorrhage, hemoptysis, trauma and coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and other heart cerebrovascular disease. Furthermore, the active ingredient of hemostasis, 137-element, is contained in all three kinds of medicinal materials.
Panax notoginseng is mainly used in the treatment of cardiac cerebrovascular disease,
