Dangshen
(党参)
Dangshen (lat. Codonopsis pilosula) is a type of plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. It's commonly used as a milder substitute for ginseng in herbal formulas. Dangshen is believed to have various health benefits, including boosting energy, strengthening the immune system, and improving appetite and digestion.
It's also used for treating chronic illnesses, particularly those affecting the lungs and spleen. The roots of the plant are the main part used for medicinal purposes. As with any herbal supplement, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using dangshen, especially for individuals with specific health conditions or those taking other medications.
