Information About Codonopsis root:
Common Uses: Used as a general tonic to improve stamina and endurance, Codonopsis can promote digestion and improve the function of the stomach, spleen and lungs, increase red blood cell counts, lower blood pressure and increase resistance to disease. It is also used to treat fatigue, weakness, low energy, shortness of breath and lack of appetite.
Suggested Uses: 30 to 50 drops in water or juice three to four times daily or as recommended by your health practitioner.
Traditional Uses: In ancient China, codonopsis was used along with ginseng to create a tonic that helped replenish one's qi. In more modern times, it is often used to strengthen the immune system, invigorate the spleen, and treat a variety of disorders, including high blood pressure, lack of appetite, diabetes, memory loss and insomnia. Some researchers theorize that codonopsis may benefit patients undergoing AIDS treatment or chemotherapy, as it reduces the side-effects of toxic drugs by increasing red and white blood cell counts.
