American ginseng is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine, which has occupied a place in the history of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. As a nourishing product, it has been respected and loved by many people.
American ginseng belongs to the tonic category of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as American ginseng. The main components of American ginseng include ginsenoside, protein, amino acids, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, vitamins and trace elements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main efficacy of American ginseng can be used to treat qi deficiency syndrome, yin deficiency syndrome and qi and yin deficiency syndrome.
Therefore, many health lovers drink American ginseng in water or health tea, but as far as American ginseng is concerned, how to drink it in water is better? How to soak healthier? Today we will talk about this topic.
How to soak American ginseng is healthier?
Sliced stew
American ginseng is relatively large in size. When we get the ingredients, we have to cut them into thin slices and brew them in about two grams of appropriate warm water. The brewing time is 3-5 hours, and then the American ginseng is sealed and stewed for half an hour.
It can be taken after breakfast, which can bring some benefits to our health. In fact, it is also good to stir the western ginseng powder with an egg and steam it in a pot.
Stewed chicken soup with American ginseng
Stewed chicken soup with American ginseng not only contains the efficacy of American ginseng, but also tastes delicious. First, the internal organs of the old hen are hollowed out, and about 50 grams of American ginseng is added. If possible, put American ginseng in it, then sew up the chicken belly, add enough water, boil the water until the chicken is soft and rotten.
The chicken and soup made in this way are very nutritious. If the body is often in a weak state, it can help strengthen the physique and strengthen the heart.
Choose the right mix
Many people think that drinking American ginseng can only be done by stewing it in hot water. In fact, this wastes the efficacy of American ginseng. Chinese medicine believes that only when different drugs are matched in this way can they exert their efficacy better and their health be better.
For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as candied dates and chrysanthemums can not only enrich the bitter taste of American ginseng caused by soaking in water, but also make up for the medicinal efficacy of American ginseng with candied dates, while chrysanthemum can stop diarrhea and promote diuresis, which can extend the medicinal deficiency of American ginseng.
Please pay attention to three points when taking American ginseng.
Although American ginseng is good, it is only medicine in the final analysis, and there are many precautions for soaking in water at ordinary times.
1, no radishes.
American ginseng tonifies qi and nourishes beauty, while white radish has the function of invigorating qi and reducing qi. The functions of these two foods are contradictory, and they can't be eaten together from the nutritional point of view. Moreover, these two foods are compatible with each other, which will reduce their interaction.
2. You can't drink tea while eating American ginseng.
Don't drink tea when taking American ginseng. Panax quinquefolium is a tonic for invigorating qi and deficiency. Tea contains a lot of tannic acid.
Taking both at the same time will lead to the reaction between tannic acid in tea and American ginseng, which will produce some substances that the human body can't absorb, and the drug effect will be greatly reduced, so don't drink tea when eating American ginseng.
3. Don't exceed the limit.
According to different ways of taking, the consumption of American ginseng is also different. The general dosage suggestion is: soak 3 6 grams a day and stew 5 20 grams each time.
Don't take it yourself, it's best to take it under the guidance of a doctor.
Reminder: Please keep your mouth shut about these three types of people.
1, arteriosclerosis population
Protein factor in American ginseng can inhibit the decomposition of fat and aggravate the deposition of fat on blood vessel wall. People with arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease must pay attention not to drink too much, so as to avoid hyperactivity of liver yang and vigorous liver fire, which will lead to liver fire.
2, cold constitution with caution.
Because American ginseng is cold in medicinal properties, its hands and feet are always cold at ordinary times, and people in loose stool are not suitable for soaking in water. It can also be said that yang deficiency and spleen and stomach deficiency are cold.
If such people drink American ginseng with water, they may be doing bad things with good intentions, which will easily accelerate the loss of yang and aggravate their physical discomfort.
3. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and dampness and heat should not eat American ginseng.
American ginseng itself is a cool medicinal material. If the spleen and stomach are deficient in cold and the body is damp and hot, American ginseng is not suitable for taking, which will easily aggravate the symptoms of deficiency and cold and damage the spleen and stomach. In addition, people in damp heat constitution may suffer from weakness and increased humidity after taking it.
To sum up:
American ginseng can replenish blood and benefit qi. Besides soaking in water, there are many ways to eat it. A proper diet is good for health. But how to eat, whether you are suitable for eating, and how much you eat are all particular. Not everyone is fit to eat. Only by eating correctly can it play its role. If you eat it wrong, you will lose more than you gain.
