Panax spp., especially Panax ginseng, are purported to possess various health benefit qualities. In oriental countries it has been used as a traditional panacea for numerous health disorders for several centuries. Saponins are generally recognised as the main effective components of ginseng. Because of their close similarities in terms of structure they offer a real challenge to the analytical chemist in terms of separation. Furthermore, the relative complexity of their structures makes them perfect candidates for in-depth structural characterisation work by NMR. 

Within this formula, Mantis Egg Cases supplement the kidneys and boost the essence, secure the floating and stop loss. Thus they are the sovereign medicinal in this formula. Dragon Bone restrains the heart spirit and astringes essence qi. Plastrum Testudinis boosts yin qi and supplements the heart and kidneys. These are the minister medicinals.
