Wenshan San Qi Slices (Panax notoginseng) — Dried Yunnan Food Herb, 500g

San Qi Slices (Panax notoginseng) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Sān Qī (三七), also called Tián Qī (田七). Grown in Wenshan, Yunnan — the herb's most celebrated origin — San Qi has been prized for centuries as a blood-circulating, stasis-dispelling, and vitality-supporting herb, traditionally used to support healthy circulation, ease minor bruising, and promote recovery after exertion. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and warm, making it a steady yet gently activating herb for moving qi and blood while supporting the body's natural balance.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, San Qi is decocted into soups, stews, and tonic broths to support healthy circulation and recovery after exertion. It is a common ingredient in Yunnan-style chicken and pork soups, where it pairs with ingredients like goji berry, jujube, and angelica. As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with other gentle herbs for a light, mildly bitter infusion, and it is also traditionally ground into powder for daily use.
