Health Benefits and Effects of Drinking Sanqi (Notoginseng) Infusion
Disease description:
My father has recently been steeping Panax notoginseng (Sanqi) in hot water and drinking it regularly. He used to drink tea before, and I’m concerned that excessive consumption of Sanqi might adversely affect his health. Could you please explain the efficacy and effects of drinking Sanqi-infused water?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Drinking water infused with Panax notoginseng root can enhance the body’s immune function and exert antitumor effects. It promotes the metabolism of blood cells, helps maintain blood cell homeostasis, and thereby strengthens the body and improves overall health. Additionally, Panax notoginseng root infusion helps dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, increase blood flow, and improve microcirculation—effectively preventing and treating ischemia and hypoxia in cardiac and cerebral tissues. Furthermore, it exerts bidirectional regulation of blood glucose levels and reduces blood lipid and cholesterol levels, contributing to anti-aging effects. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
