What are the medicinal values of Codonopsis pilosula? A detailed explanation of its effects and functions
The root of Codonopsis pilosula (poor man's ginseng) is used as medicine; it is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It has the functions of tonifying the spleen and replenishing qi, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production, and is used to treat weakness of the spleen and stomach, insufficiency of lung qi, fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath with wheezing and coughing, weak voice, dizziness and palpitations due to blood deficiency, dry tongue due to depletion of fluids, thirst, and other conditions. The cultivation history of Codonopsis pilosula is relatively short, and no record of cultivated Codonopsis pilosula has been seen in the materia medica of past dynasties. Shanxi Province was the earliest to cultivate Codonopsis pilosula artificially. Changzhi County, Shanxi Province, is the "hometown of Codonopsis pilosula" in China.
