How to grind Panax notoginseng into powder? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Purchase Panax notoginseng root:

You can buy it at the place where it is produced, or ask local relatives and friends to buy it for you. Note: Most pharmacies require you to purchase at least 250 grams, as they won’t sell it to you because of the hassle of powdering! The number of heads of Panax notoginseng roots is different, and the price is also different. The smaller the number of heads, the more expensive the price!

2. Clean the roots of Panax notoginseng and dry them:

Most of the Panax notoginseng roots you buy have already been processed and are clean, so they can be ground into powder directly, but for the sake of cleanliness, they still need to be cleaned again.

3. Heating Panax notoginseng root:

When processing Panax notoginseng roots in pharmacies, they will heat them in a microwave for one minute; it is said that the heated Panax notoginseng roots are easier to slice.

4. Panax notoginseng root slices:

After the Panax notoginseng roots are heated, the pharmacy staff will use a medicinal material slicer to cut the Panax notoginseng roots into slices. At this time, you can pick up a little and boil it to drink later, and grind the rest into powder.

5. Powdering:

After the Panax notoginseng roots are cut into slices, they are stuffed into such a medicinal material powder grinder, powered on and shaken continuously, and they will be ground into powder after a few minutes. After the Panax notoginseng root is ground into powder, it is dark yellowish brown in color. Compared with the ready-made Panax notoginseng powder, the one sold in pharmacies is a bit coarse and will have sediment after being soaked in water, but it does not affect taking.

7. Another method

There is another way to grind the Panax notoginseng roots into powder, which is to go to a specialized store that sells grain powder. They will ask you to crush the Panax notoginseng roots with a hammer in advance, and then put them into a grinder to grind them into powder. The effect of crushing with a hammer is worse than that of slicing.
