Himalayan ginseng
Panax pseudoginseng
Panax pseudoginseng is a traditional medicine plant native to East Asia. While its specific use in traditional practices has not been extensively documented, it is known to be used by the Sherpa people for various ailments. Scientific studies have identified distinct expression patterns of key enzyme genes involved in ginsenoside biosynthesis, highlighting differences among Panax species and their metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenes. Research suggests potential modulation of immune responses relevant to allergic airway diseases but does not provide conclusive evidence due to the limited scope of current studies. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

科学怎么说
- 研究发现人参（Panax japonicas）、伪人参（Panax pseudoginseng）和伪人参变种优雅型（Panax pseudo-ginseng var. elegantior）在代谢物和转录组方面存在差异，主要在于黄酮类、酚酸和萜类的变异。
- 研究发现人参属植物中与甘草皂苷生物合成相关的关键酶基因的表达模式与其科中的其他植物（如Araliaceae）不同。
- 该研究回顾了人参属植物及其生物活性成分可能如何调节与过敏性呼吸道疾病相关的免疫反应，但并未最终确定其疗效。
- 研究记录了51种植物种类，包括人参属伪人参，这些植物被夏尔巴人传统上用于治疗各种疾病。
