Study on Development and Utilization of Notoginseng Flowers Resources

Notoginseng flowers are traditional and precious traditional Chinese medicine. With the massive planting of notoginseng in recent years, the resources of notoginseng flowers were becoming more and more abundant. The pharmacological effect and health care and health maintenance of notoginseng flowers had attracted much attention and great value in clinical application and health care application. At present, scholars had studied and reported on the identification, chemical composition and pharmacological action of notoginseng flowers, but most of them lack depth and breadth, and further studies were needed in the aspects of chemical composition, pharmacological effect and quality control.The application of notoginseng flowers in medicine and the development of health care products were many, but lack of systematic pharmacological efficacy and health care mechanism research support. In this paper, the resources, identification, application, chemical composition and pharmacological research status of notoginseng flowers were summarized, and the basic research status was discussed, provided reference for further development and utilization of notoginseng flowers.
