American ginseng story
American ginseng is named after being produced in various countries in the Atlantic Ocean, and because the origin is in the United States and Canada, so there areAmerican ginseng, American ginseng, American ginseng and other names.
American ginseng was introduced to our country around the end of the 17th century. As early as 1697, a scholar named Bao Qinglun read a paper on the medical effects of Chinese ginseng for the first time at the French Academy of Sciences, which attracted the attention of Western scholars. In 1714, a British missionary came to China to preach. He was very interested in Chinese ginseng. He brought Chinese ginseng back to his country and wrote an article "About Liaodong Ginseng", which was published in the Journal of the Royal Society. Once again aroused the attention of European scholars.
Later, this paper was passed to Father Lafite, Quebec, Canada. He carefully studied the plant specimens of Chinese ginseng and believed that the local forest and the nature of the ginseng production area in the Far East The environment is similar and there should be people participating. So he hired Indians to search in the forests of Montreal in southern Canada, and finally found a plant similar to ginseng in 1716. This plant is American ginseng. For a time, American ginseng became famous in North America. In many areas of southeastern Canada, the eastern United States, and the Atlantic coast of North America, there was a boom in digging American ginseng. By 1752, the French Canadian monopoly industry alone exported 50 million francs of American ginseng to China every year.
The earliest records of American ginseng in my country are "Materia Medica Congxin" (written in 1757) by Wu Yiluo of the Qing Dynasty and "Supplements to Compendium of Materia Medica" by Zhao Xuemin. Since then, American ginseng has gradually been recognized by the medical profession in my country and used in clinical practice.
It is said that around 21 years after the continuation, Cixi often suffers from spleen deficiency and dampness. The imperial physician considers the adjustment of the intake to not be dry and strong, and often uses American ginseng and Codonopsis on the same side. When exogenous wind-heat needs ginseng, American ginseng is also used; when xiangsha Liujunzi pills are used, American ginseng is sometimes substituted for Codonopsis or ginseng.
Because American ginseng is somewhat cooler, it is not suitable for people with declining yang to use more or take it for a long time. Its effects of nourishing qi and nourishing yin have certain health-preserving and health-care effects for middle-aged and elderly people.
