Note: Two of the Chinese classics, Ben Cao Cong Xin 《本草從新》and Ben Cao Gang Mu Shi Yi 《本草綱目拾遺》 mentioned that tai zi shen was "ren shen of the small sizes" The tai zi shen being used today and being discussed in this article is the roots of a completely different plant, not the small sizes ren shen (Panx ginseng) as mentioned in those classics, but is Pseudostellaria heterophylla (miq) Pax ex Pax et Hoffm. . 《本草從新》和《本草 綱目拾遺》所載的太子參，均為五加科人參之小者。 并非本品。 Sponsors' Ads by Google 以下為谷歌所提供贊助者之廣告 |
