Description
- Salvia miltiorrhiza, known as red sage, Chinese sage, tan shen, or danshen, is a perennial plant in the genus Salvia. It is highly valued for its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. Native to China and Japan, it grows at 90 to 1200 m elevation, preferring grassy places in forests, hillsides, and along stream banks. For several decades, Salvia miltiorrhiza root has been widely used in clinics in China, Korea, Japan and other Asian countries for the treatment of various microcirculatory disturbance-related diseases[1][2] .
