Can children eat Panax notoginseng powder?

Children's bodies are in the development stage and they need to take in a lot of nutrients every day. Panax notoginseng powder has many benefits to the human body. It can nourish the kidneys, treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lower blood pressure, enhance immunity, and also promote blood circulation, stop bleeding, and beautify the skin. Many parents don’t know whether they can give their children Panax notoginseng powder. Can children eat Panax notoginseng powder? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Can children eat Panax notoginseng powder?

People who know about Panax notoginseng should all know that children are excluded from the group of people for whom Panax notoginseng is suitable. However, there is a folk remedy that can help children grow taller - Panax notoginseng chicken. Chick refers to a young rooster that is still developing. Taking it with Panax notoginseng powder can promote its development and help the child grow taller.

2. Medicinal Principles of Panax Notoginseng

1. Panax notoginseng is a blood-activating medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. It can accelerate blood circulation and help bones absorb nutrients. If patients with fractures eat it, it can promote bone growth. However, if it is given to a growing child, it may cause the child's epiphyseal line to close prematurely. Once the epiphyseal line closes, the child will no longer be able to grow taller.

2. The epiphyseal line refers to the cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis. It appears as a wide translucent band on the X-ray of young children. It gradually becomes shorter with age. When the cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis is completely ossified, a tight seam is formed. At this time, the epiphyseal line is completely closed and the bones stop growing.

3. Children should not eat Panax notoginseng

Whether to take Panax notoginseng is best determined based on the child’s bone age, which refers to the child’s physiological age. If the child's bone age is older than his actual age and the epiphyseal line has basically closed, it means that the child has developed early and has little potential for growth. In other words, the child's growth and development time is shortened. In this case, you can eat some Panax notoginseng powder and then flush it at the end, but the effect will be small. For children who are developing normally and whose bone age is still young, and who still have a long time to grow taller, it is best not to eat Panax notoginseng.

4. When is it suitable for children to eat Panax notoginseng?

1. If you want to give Panax notoginseng to your child, it is best to wait until the child reaches the later stages of development, such as when boys have voice changes, Adam's apples and other developmental phenomena, and after girls have their menstrual period. It is best to use Panax notoginseng for children to stew chicken, stewed pork ribs, etc. You can also take a small amount of organic cooked Panax notoginseng powder.

2. Raw Panax notoginseng has a good hemostatic effect and can be used by both children and adults. When bleeding occurs due to external injuries, you can apply raw Panax notoginseng powder directly to the wound, which can quickly stop bleeding and the wound will heal quickly. When you have a nosebleed, you can wrap a little Panax notoginseng powder in a tissue and stuff it into your nostrils, which can also have a good effect in stopping the bleeding.

5. How to help children grow up healthily?

1. If you want your child to grow taller, the safest way is to ensure adequate sleep and exercise.

2. Sleep is very important for growth. 80% of the human body's growth hormone is secreted at night. From 9 pm to 1 am, especially around 10 pm, the secretion of growth hormone reaches its peak, which is 5-7 times that of daytime. The prerequisite is that large amounts of growth hormone secretion only occur during deep sleep. Most people will enter a deep sleep state about an hour after falling asleep, so going to bed before 9 o'clock in the evening is the "secret" to growing taller.

In addition, exercising more and doing more jumping exercises are also the "secrets" to growing taller. During exercise, blood circulation in the muscles and bones of the lower limbs can be accelerated, which is beneficial to the absorption of nutrients, rapid bone growth, and achieving the goal of growing taller. Boys who want to grow taller can often participate in jumping sports such as basketball and high jump, while girls can skip rope, long jump, etc. However, it should be noted that excessive weight training such as gymnastics and weightlifting will hinder growth, and it is recommended to avoid it as much as possible during the growth stage.

6. Notes

Parents, please note: Simply giving your children Panax notoginseng will not achieve the goal of growing taller. Only by following the laws of growth and engaging in reasonable physical exercise can they grow taller scientifically.
