Do you have digestive, respiratory and cardiac problems (especially when caused by stress), then Dang shen is what you need.
Dang shen
(Codonopsis pilosula)
Part used: Roots
Chinese herbalists regard dang shen as a gentle version of the more famous stress and energy tonic, Korean ginseng. This distinction means that it can be prescribed for patients who are frail or debilitated, for whom ginseng is considered too stimulating. Dang shen is also traditionally used for treating digestive, respiratory and cardiac problems (especially when caused by stress) and as a nourishing blood tonic for nursing mothers and other anaemic patients.
