1. Grapes

Do not eat ginseng and grapes together. It can easily lead to nutritional damage. Grapes contain tannic acid, which can easily combine with the protein in ginseng to form a precipitate, which affects absorption and reduces the efficacy of the medicine.

2. Radish

Do not eat radish (including white radish and green radish) and various seafood after taking ginseng. If eating radish at the same time can break Qi, then ginseng will not be able to nourish Qi. Therefore, radish and ginseng should not be taken at the same time. In addition, most tonics have a Qi-tonifying effect, so they should not be taken at the same time as radish. Extended information

Precautions for consuming ginseng:

1. Whether it is fried or stewed, avoid using hardware cooking utensils. Hardware cooking utensils are prone to chemical reactions with medicinal materials, so do not use such cooking utensils to make ginseng. It is best to use cooking utensils such as casseroles to ensure the quality of the medicinal materials.

2. It is generally not suitable to take it when you have a cold or fever. Because heart palpitations are severe during fever, taking ginseng will increase blood circulation and cause heart palpitations, which may even worsen the condition.

3. Ginseng should not be used in asthma caused by sudden shortness of breath, dry throat caused by heat, vomiting blood, epistaxis and other diseases caused by impulsiveness.
