Since ancient times, ginseng has been regarded as a magic pill that can "resurrection". I wish I could hide one at home to wait for it to be replenished. Although ginseng can greatly replenish vital energy, many people cannot stand this warm and nourishing at all. In contrast, American ginseng is more homely and suitable for more people.
American ginseng is known as "fireless ginseng", which replenishes qi and nourishes yin!
American ginseng has the effect of replenishing qi and producing fluid, but ginseng is warm in nature and tends to help yang; while American ginseng is cool in nature and tends to nourish yin. Many people who cannot withstand the warming and replenishing function of ginseng can use American ginseng instead.
Just as Zhang Xichun , a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, wrote: "American ginseng is cool and nourishing, and anyone who wants to use ginseng but does not receive warm and nourishing can be replaced." In addition, there is a saying in " Huangdi Neijing " that "raising yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter".
is autumn, and the yang energy between heaven and earth is gradually retracting, and health care emphasizes adapting to the weather. The biggest feature at this time is "dryness", and the focus of supplementing should be to calm the Qi and body fluids, nourish the yin and moisturize the dryness. American ginseng, also known as Citi ginseng , its main component is ginseng saponin , and it also contains volatile oils, resins, etc., which has the effects of nourishing yin and clearing heat, replenishing qi and promoting fluid. The biggest advantage of American ginseng is to replenish qi and yin, moisten the five internal organs, have thick taste but not hot, nourish but not greasy, and have no disadvantages of warm, dry and fire, so it is called "fireless ginseng".
Modern pharmacological research has found that American ginseng can enhance the body's resistance, especially suitable for conditioning after the disease and after cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
