Ginseng-a precious medicinal material

Ginseng (scientific name: ginseng, also known as Asian ginseng, known as "wooden stick" in the northeast) is a fleshy root and can be used as medicine. Ginseng belongs to Araliaceae and mainly grows in East Asia, especially in cold regions. Ginseng is a common medicinal material in Asia, and American ginseng is also widely used in North America and Central America. Many medicine shops and supermarkets can find ginseng pieces and extracts of various health care products, which are used for recovery after recovery, strengthening physical strength, regulating hormones, lowering blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, controlling liver index and protecting liver function. Ginsenosides contained in ginseng roots are its effective components. The content of wild ginsenosides in Changbai Mountain of China is high, but it is not easy to obtain and the price is high.

Endangered species Ginseng, a perennial herb of Araliaceae, belongs to Tertiary relict plant, with a stem about 40-50 cm high and whorled palmately compound leaves. Small yellow-green flowers bloom in early summer with a single terminal inflorescence and oblate fruit. It is also a precious Chinese herbal medicine, one of the "Three Treasures in Northeast China" and has a long medicinal history in China. For a long time, due to over-exploitation and resource depletion, the forest ecological environment on which ginseng depends has been seriously damaged. Therefore, ginseng in the Central Plains, such as southern Shanxi, southern Hebei, Henan and western Shandong, represented by Araliaceae in Shanxi, has long been extinct. At present, ginseng in Northeast China is also on the verge of extinction, so it is of great significance to protect the natural resources of this species.
