Traditional Background

Codonopsis (often called “poor man’s ginseng”) is a classic tonic root in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been traditionally used to gently nourish Qi (vital energy), support the Spleen and Lung systems, and restore strength after illness, stress or depletion. Unlike stronger stimulants, Codonopsis is considered a soft, building tonic suitable for longer-term use.

Active Constituents

Polysaccharides: Codonopsis roots contain complex polysaccharides that are traditionally associated with immune support, gentle energy building and healthy blood sugar balance.

Saponins and alkaloids: These compounds are thought to contribute to Codonopsis’ adaptogenic and tonic properties, supporting resilience to physical and emotional stress.

Trace minerals and nutrients: The root also provides small amounts of minerals and other phytonutrients that help nourish blood, support appetite and overall vitality.

Traditional Uses

Energy & Vitality: Traditionally used as a Qi tonic for people who feel tired, run down or recovering from illness. Codonopsis is often chosen when a gentler option than ginseng is desired.

Digestive & Spleen Support: In traditional systems, Codonopsis is used to support healthy digestion, appetite and nutrient uptake, especially in those who feel weak, cold or easily fatigued after meals.

Lung & Respiratory Support: Often combined with other herbs to support the Lungs, comfortable breathing and general resilience during seasonal challenges.

Blood & Circulation: Codonopsis has been used to nourish and “build” the blood, supporting healthy circulation and general strength.
