American ginseng has high nutritional value. Most people in middle age like to use American ginseng for health care. So when is the best time to take American ginseng? Let’s find out together.

1. How to eat American ginseng, how to take it, and when is the best season to eat American ginseng?

The most suitable season for eating American ginseng is actually spring and summer. Many people are so sleepy in spring that they can't feel tired even during the day or night. This is because Qi deficiency and weak Qi and blood movement lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain. At this time, you should eat some American ginseng. In summer, it is more suitable to eat some American ginseng, because summer consumes the most. People who are already weak will feel very tired in summer or after summer. This is related to the consumption of Qi and Yin by heat, so it is suitable to eat some American ginseng.

There are three common ways to take American ginseng:

1. Chew it directly for good absorption. American ginseng tablets can be chewed directly in the mouth. The specific method of taking it is as follows: directly take the cut American ginseng slices, hold them in your mouth before breakfast and after dinner, and chew them carefully. The daily dosage is generally 2-4 grams. This way of taking the drug has a very high utilization rate and is absorbed quickly.

2. Grind into powder. In addition to chewing American ginseng directly, you can also grind American ginseng into powder and brew it for consumption. This method is the most beneficial to people's absorption. So we might as well brew a cup of American ginseng tea in our spare time.

3. Do not soak it in water overnight. Soaking American ginseng in water is a simple method that everyone uses. Put the American ginseng slices into a cup of water, add boiling water and soak for about 10 minutes before drinking it as tea. You can repeat the soaking multiple times until the water no longer smells of ginseng.

If you want to eat American ginseng, I suggest you buy Yikande products. A friend introduced me to buy their product before. The effect is really good and cost-effective. It has received rave reviews on Taobao, so you can go shopping. When choosing American ginseng, you should pay attention to the fact that good American ginseng has a rich flavor and contains more active ingredients, so the taste is stronger. The quality of the lighter ones needs to be considered.

2. Can American ginseng remove fire? What are the taboos for eating American ginseng?

American ginseng can play a very good "fire prevention" role at this time. Unlike other ginseng, American ginseng is a "cooling" ginseng. It tastes bitter, slightly sweet, and is cool in nature. It has the effects of nourishing yin and replenishing qi, producing body fluids and quenching thirst, eliminating irritability, clearing away fire, strengthening qi, and anti-fatigue. Suitable for "cleansing and nourishing" in summer.

What should you pay attention to when eating American ginseng:

1. American ginseng cannot be taken together with radish. Because American ginseng is qi-tonifying (warming and replenishing vitality), and white radish is qi-deflating (cooling, clearing away heat and detoxifying, etc.), the two foods are contradictory. Not only can they not be eaten from a nutritional point of view, but these two foods are If they are incompatible, it is easy to cause allergic reactions or even poisoning. According to traditional Chinese medicine, white radish not only cannot be eaten with American ginseng, but also is incompatible with many supplements. Sometimes eating white radish can greatly aggravate the condition when you are sick, such as blisters or colds. time.

2. Do not drink strong tea while taking American ginseng. Because tannic acid will destroy the active ingredients in American ginseng, and tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, it is best to drink tea 2 to 3 days after taking American ginseng, and it is also best not to drink coffee. Coffee also has a certain impact on the effects of American ginseng.

3. Be wary of adverse reactions. After taking American ginseng, some people will experience a drop in body temperature, chills, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and loss of appetite; some will experience delayed menstruation and dysmenorrhea; and some will experience allergic reactions, with scattered blisters of varying sizes and itching on the upper and lower limbs. Abnormally, the blisters can be absorbed and subsided on their own after stopping the medication.

4. American ginseng is not good for dampness syndrome, so you should also consider the seasonality when taking it. The climate is dry in spring and summer, so it is suitable to take American ginseng, but not ginseng or red ginseng; while autumn and winter are more suitable to take ginseng.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is a herbal medicine and should be used to nourish qi and yin. If you have fever symptoms in your body, such as dry mouth and irritability, frequent fatigue, hot palms, and red face, you can use American ginseng supplements to achieve the purpose of recuperation.

On the contrary, if you have a cough with phlegm, excessive saliva, or edema, you should avoid taking American ginseng, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. In addition, "don't make up for the deficiency". If you are not feeling unwell, you should not take American ginseng lozenges regularly.

Experts believe that American ginseng has the advantage of replenishing qi and not generating heat, but it is not suitable for everyone. People who consume too much or have weak constitutions will inevitably have nosebleeds after eating it. In addition, people with heat or constipation in the body should not take American ginseng. At present, most American ginseng purchased in pharmacies costs a few yuan per gram, but the price of imported American ginseng is as high as tens of yuan. The sales price of domestic short-term products is mostly less than 1,000 yuan, while the imported ones are slightly more expensive. The current market price of American ginseng is different because each merchant sells it at different prices, and there are many types of boxes, but it is not so expensive that it is out of reach. And knowing that the price will definitely be cheaper, because online pharmacies do not have to pay the rent of physical stores, etc., the cost is relatively low, so the product prices will definitely be much cheaper. But be careful not to buy fake American ginseng.
