[edit] Efficacy

Some Western herbalists claim that, in contrast to Ginseng, C. pilosula's efficacy is virtually nil. Is this correct? Badagnani 05:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edible?

When the roots are used in a Chinese medicinal soup, can they be eaten, or are they typically discarded? (They become quite soft when cooked.) Badagnani 05:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
