At present, most Korean ginseng sold in China's market is processed into red ginseng, which is dark red and warm in nature, and has the function of tonifying middle temperature. Generally speaking, it can make people excited, warm and refreshed, and is suitable for people with insufficient yang (cold constitution). This kind of people often appear fatigue, chills, chills and other manifestations, in the cold winter, prone to new diseases and aging.
Warming yang and replenishing crystal can be taken during the day.
It must be emphasized that Korean ginseng, whether red ginseng or sun-dried ginseng, should be eaten step by step, and should not be rushed to avoid being poisoned by eating too much. For example, you can use 2~4 grams at first, and you can observe the reaction after taking it, and then add it appropriately when it is ineffective or weak in two days; If the effect is obvious, keep the original amount for 2~3 days before taking it; Those with strong reaction should stop taking or reduce the dose.
In addition, many people are used to taking tonics at night, but it is more appropriate to take tonics with warm yang in the morning. So I suggest you eat Korean red ginseng during the day. Besides, you must pay attention to the change of seasons. Generally speaking, it is cool in autumn and winter, so it is better to eat Korean ginseng. The atmosphere is hot in summer, so it is not suitable for eating unless the cold constitution is deficient.
