Li Shizhen’s (the author of “Ben Cao Gang Mu”) father, Li Yanwen wrote the first monograph on ginseng “Ren Shen Zhuan”. It is the most related monograph to ginseng during China Ming Dynasty.
Based on his father's works, Li Shizhen compiled 67 prescriptions for wild ginseng usage, which can be applied to 15 types of diseases.
Li Shizhen described wild ginseng as “superior herb”. They are used for conditions such as feverish diseases with excessive sweating, dizziness, or headache; having poor digestion, nausea, diarrhea or vomiting; bleeding disorders, including internal hemorrhage, hemoptysis, nose bleeding, blood in the urine, and post-partum bleeding; and pregnancy disorders.
在中国明代著作中，与人参关系最为密切的是《人参传》，该书是《本草纲目》的编著者李时珍之父李言闻所著。
李时珍在其父《人参传》的基础上，整理出67个运用野山参的处方，分别可应用于15类病症。
李时珍在《本草纲目》中称野山参为“神草”，谓“人参治男妇一切虚症，发热、自汗、眩晕、头痛、反胃、吐食、疾疟、滑泻久痢、小便频数淋沥、劳倦内伤、中风中暑、痿痹、吐血、嗽血、下血、血淋、血崩、胎前产后诸病”。
