Basic Introduction of Eucommia ulmoides

Eucommia ulmoides, also known as taro seven (commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in Sichuan), is a fleshy taproot of the dicotyledonous plant Panax notoginseng in the Araliaceae family

Medicinal herbs are produced in Mount Emei, Sichuan. Sanqi, with its narrow leaved pseudoginseng, is widely distributed and often grows in shrubs or bamboo forests from Jiulaodong to Qilipo at an altitude of 1700-2700 meters. Tongren ginseng is a plant of the Araliaceae family, also known as "Zhugen Seven" or "Liuye Sanqi". About 1 meter high, the rhizomes are slender with nodules in the middle, forming a sparse bead like shape or densely clustered like bamboo whips. The leaves are palmately compound leaves, with 3 to 5 whorls at the top of the stem; Leaves 5 to 7, long lanceolate, apex gradually pointed. Flowering in early summer, with mostly pale yellow green flowers and solitary umbels

E Sanqi is very unique, with a rhizome that sprouts once a year, grows a node, and leaves a small eye; How many eyes do you have, that is, how old you are; The more functions there are in the eyes, the better the therapeutic effect. If obstructed by rocks or other obstacles, the roots and stems will curl and grow, known as "Panlong Seven", which has the best quality but is extremely difficult to harvest

E Sanqi is generally divided into three types: bamboo root seven, taro seven, and twisted seven. Bamboo root seven refers to the whip shaped rhizome of bamboo. Fish Seven refers to the fleshy root tuber at the tail of the rhizome, named after its resemblance to taro. Twisted seven refers to the rhizome in the shape of a bead, hence also known as "bead ginseng", which is relatively rare in Mount Emei. Panlong Seven is extremely precious

How did the history of E Sanqi come about
