Notoginseng, or San qi hua (in Chineses) is a plant that belongs to the famous ginseng species, but its own properties differ from similar species. TCM uses it for its benefits on the circulatory sphere.

San qi hua is well-known for toning blood: it stimulates blood circulation, reduces bleeding so as to boosts the healing of sores and avoid hematoma. In addition, San qi hua helps lower blood pressure and maintains a good cardiovascular function.
