Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Panax Notoginseng, also known as "San Qi," has a longstanding place in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is primarily used to support healthy blood flow, promote circulation, and resolve blood stasis. In TCM, the Solar Plexus is associated with the digestive system and personal power, often linked to the Spleen and Stomach meridians. Panax Notoginseng is traditionally believed to "strengthen the spleen" and "promote qi circulation," which aligns it with Solar Plexus support within this paradigm. Historical texts and TCM practitioners use this herb for conditions such as abdominal pain, digestive disturbances, and general weakness—symptoms sometimes connected to Solar Plexus imbalance in energetic medicine. However, while there is some modern research on Panax Notoginseng for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects, there is limited scientific investigation specifically tying it to Solar Plexus or digestive system modulation as understood in Western physiology. Thus, its use for the Solar Plexus is justified mostly by its traditional role in TCM rather than by rigorous scientific validation. The rating reflects that while there is a robust history of traditional use, the direct scientific evidence supporting Panax Notoginseng for Solar Plexus support (especially as defined outside TCM) is modest.
