Abstract

Although, Ginseng and Codonopsis belonged to different genus, they were similar in thekjh medicinal properties, pharmacological effects and other aspects, and even someone was forward that the ancient Ginseng was today's Codonopsis. As the price of Ginseng was much higher, Codonopsis was often used to take the place of Ginseng in some clinical application. The author consulted the related literatures of Ginseng and Codonopsis in detail, which was published in recent years, and then made a brief discussion of their origin, morphological characteristics, efficacy, usage and dosage, pharmacological action and clinical application. Depending on the discussion, it could illustrate that the ancient Ginseng was not the modern Codonopsis, and provide a reference for clinical application under some circumstances.
