A friend asked such a question: If you want to recuperate your health, which effect is better if the prince participates in sun-dried ginseng? When it comes to ginseng, the habitual thinking in the brain first thinks of ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, American ginseng and red ginseng, but when it comes to ginseng, it's a bit confusing. I wonder if ginseng is ginseng or codonopsis pilosula? In this way, Chinese traditional culture was buried and corroded by foreign ginseng culture. This article will tell you something about ginseng knowledge. There are many kinds of ginseng, among which Korean ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, American ginseng, red ginseng, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, American ginseng, soaked ginseng, white sugar ginseng, sun-dried ginseng, wild ginseng and Liaoshen all belong to ginseng. All kinds of ginseng have different names, and their effects are almost the same. They all have tonic effects, and the difference is that the tonic effects are different. (After verification by many parties, ginseng was originally named after its humanoid ginseng, so in ancient times, Codonopsis pilosula was also called ginseng, but Pseudostellaria heterophylla, soaked ginseng and American ginseng were not included. At present, according to the drug efficacy and composition, Radix Pseudostellariae, Radix Ginseng, Radix Panacis Quinquefolii and Radix Panacis Quinquefolii can all be classified as ginseng, which will be strictly distinguished in the research of pharmaceutical science, and a general term for ginseng is still given in life.) Korean ginseng is native to Korea, so it is named Korean ginseng because Korea was originally called Korea. Most of the Korean ginseng seen in the market is processed and pressed into a square shape by high-pressure cooking, which is called red ginseng. The quality is slightly worse (some books say that red ginseng is better than raw ginseng, and opinions are not uniform. In fact, the quality of ginseng comes from its own quality. Red ginseng is warm, and sun-dried ginseng is cool, both of which have their own advantages). It is boiled in boiling water for a while, soaked in sugar juice, and then dried in the sun to make white ginseng (also known as white ginseng). Efficacy of Korean ginseng: it is warm in nature, has the functions of invigorating primordial qi, promoting fluid production and calming the nerves, and is suitable for people with fright, insomnia, physical weakness, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, etc. American ginseng, American ginseng is actually American ginseng, and the west is what the ancients called western goods from European and American countries, and ginseng is called American ginseng, while American ginseng is native to Citigroup, which is the ancient name of the United States. (The picture of American ginseng in the picture above is correct, because it has vertical stripes, which is different from American ginseng in horizontal stripes. After many studies on exquisite medicinal materials, the picture shows that it is still American ginseng, with obvious horizontal stripes and not obvious vertical stripes, and it really tastes like American ginseng after comparison. Although from the picture, some people are mistaken for ginseng, but in fact they are concocted.) The excavation of American ginseng has a little-known history, and its hero is the northeast ginseng in China. American ginseng is an ancient plant that grows in the virgin forests of North America, and it is known as a living fossil. Early North American Indians regarded it as a plant with the same origin of medicine and food, and widely used it as a medicine for sweating and reducing fever. /kloc-During his work in the northeast of China in the 0/7th century, Muyatus of France took great interest in ginseng, which was regarded as a panacea by local people and had humanoid roots. He described the morphological characteristics and medicinal value of China ginseng in detail with the title of "Tatar Ginseng", and attached the original plant map. This article was published at the meeting of the Royal Society of Britain. What was deeply attracted by this article was French missionary Frantu Lafeido in Montreal, Canada. With the help of local Indians, he found a plant with a very similar morphology to China ginseng in the primitive jungle and sent it to Paris for identification as Panaxquinquinquefolium L．, that is, American ginseng. The effects of American ginseng are: cool in nature, invigorating qi and nourishing yin, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. It is suitable for sun-dried ginseng such as injury of both qi and yin, inflammation due to deficiency of fire, fatigue of dry mouth and chronic cough due to lung deficiency. Wild ginseng and Liaoshen belong to Northeast ginseng. Ginseng stored in the sun is called sun-dried ginseng, wild ginseng is wild ginseng on the mountain as its name implies, and Liaoshen is ginseng from Liaoning Province in Northeast China. Ginseng used in many prescriptions of ancient medical books is this kind of ginseng, and it is also the best ginseng in China, such as: Sijunzi Decoction-Ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria and Glycyrrhiza. Lizhong pills-ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, dried ginger, licorice. The ginseng used in these two famous prescriptions is sun-dried ginseng. Because of its unique advantages, ginseng in Northeast China is very suitable for ginseng growth, which provides ginseng with fertile land (the growth of ginseng is very demanding on land), so it gives strong tonic power. Its efficacy: invigorating primordial qi, restoring pulse and removing stagnation, invigorating spleen and lung, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, calming nerves and improving intelligence. Clinical application:1. This product can greatly tonify vitality, recover pulse and remove stagnation, and is an important medicine for saving the life from danger. It is suitable for severe and dangerous syndromes caused by sweating, diarrhea, massive blood loss, serious illness or long-term illness, such as yuan qi deficiency, extreme desire to take off, shortness of breath, fatigue and weak pulse. Single use is effective, such as Dushen Decoction (Jing Yue Quan Shu). If qi deficiency is accompanied by sweating and cold limbs, it should be combined with Fuzi, which is used for invigorating qi, consolidating and relieving yang, such as Shenfu Decoction (Zhengti Leiyao). For those who are deficient in qi and want to take off, sweat comes from warm sources, thirst for cold drinks, and dry tongue, this product can also promote fluid production. It is often combined with Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis to invigorate qi and nourish yin. 2. Deficiency of lung, spleen, heart and kidney. This product is an essential medicine for tonifying lung, and can improve the symptoms of lung qi deficiency, such as shortness of breath, slow speech and so on. For lung qi, cough, asthma and excessive phlegm, it is often combined with herbs such as Schisandra chinensis, Perilla frutescens and Almond, such as Bufei Decoction (Qian Jin Fang). Different varieties have some differences in efficacy: sun-dried ginseng, which is made by planting ginseng and drying in the sun, is mild, tepid and not dry, and can not only invigorate qi, but also promote fluid production, which is suitable for strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens, and enhancing physical fitness and disease resistance. Wild ginseng, which is collected wild in the mountains, is warm in nature, strong in invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation. If it is taken a little more, it will cause nosebleeds, and it is suitable for saving lives and rescuing critically ill patients. Although it is expensive, the curative effect is also very good. (There is nothing wrong with soaking ginseng as American ginseng, but it is also called soil ginseng, which belongs to the same category as American ginseng and American ginseng, and is a native American ginseng in China.) Soaking ginseng radix Codonopsis, which is mainly produced in Sichuan and Yunnan, and Codonopsis pilosula is mainly produced in Henan, have similar effects, and are mainly used for invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, but their efforts to replenish vitality are not as good as those of Korean ginseng, American ginseng, sun-dried ginseng and wild ginseng. In modern life, soaked ginseng or codonopsis pilosula are often used as ingredients, and various dietotherapy formulas are prepared with other drugs. For example, Qingbuliang Soup-Codonopsis pilosula, Lycium barbarum, Coicis Semen, Mung Bean, Euryale Semen, Dioscorea opposita, etc., can be made into dessert syrup to be taken, and can also be taken with chicken or ribs stew soup, which has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, invigorating spleen, benefiting qi and eliminating dampness, which can clear fire and replenish qi! Pseudostellaria heterophylla, also known as children's ginseng and children's ginseng. Mainly produced in Guizhou, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and other places. Among them, Pseudostellaria heterophylla produced in Zherong County, Fujian Province is the most famous. The brand "Niudachang Radix Pseudostellariae" is a well-known medicinal material in China, which is famous at home and abroad for its crystal yellow color, fat root tuber and strong smell. The reputation of Radix Pseudostellariae comes from a legend: during the Spring and Autumn Period, the son of King Zheng was 5 years old, gifted and intelligent, and he was deeply loved by the king. However, the prince was physically delicate, and he fell ill from time to time. The imperial doctor failed to cure him repeatedly. After the king posted a list of tonic drugs, and hung them with a big reward. For a time, there was an endless stream of people who offered treasures and recommended doctors everywhere, but all of them used ginseng tonic, but it didn't work. One day, an old man with white hair revealed the list and offered medicine, claiming that it was not for the reward, but for the sake of the prince's health and the country's plan. The king said to the old man, "I am sincere, but if the medicine doesn't work, I'm afraid I will be guilty of bullying." The old man laughed and said, "Wang Zigui is immature, and he is uncomfortable with the medicine of severe tonic. He needs to gradually learn from it. I have a medicine that will take effect for a hundred days. " So, the prince took the slender, yellow-white grass roots offered by the old man as usual. After three months, the fruit was plump and ill. At this time, the king began to believe what the old man said, and when he was overjoyed, he made the prince a prince, and he was anxious to find the old man to reward him, but his whereabouts were hard to find. The king asked the old man what the medicine was, but everyone shook their heads. The minister remonstrated, saying: Medicine is a kind of medicine. To save the prince's body, let's call it Radix Pseudostellariae. As a result, the reputation of "Pseudostellaria heterophylla" spread. The prince is your body, and the drugs used by the physician are all the best in the top grade, so it is most forbidden to make up for the deficiency, which leads to the deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to take the Radix Pseudostellariae with weak tonic ability, but it will have a great effect, indicating that the Radix Pseudostellariae is suitable for the usual tonic. The effect of Radix Pseudostellariae: it has the functions of invigorating qi and blood, promoting fluid production and tonifying spleen and stomach. It is suitable for children's weakness such as persistent fever in summer, poor diet, lung deficiency, cough and palpitation, and children's weakness, spontaneous sweating, night sweats and oral equality after illness. Pseudostellaria heterophylla has been widely used since modern times, but it is not often used to treat children's diseases in ancient medical books. For example, Qian Yi, a famous pediatrician, wrote in his recipe Digupi Powder that it is a recipe for treating deficiency, typhoid fever and residual heat. Cortex Lycii (self-selected) Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, Radix Bupleuri in Yinzhou (removing reed), Radix Glycyrrhizae (roasting), Rhizoma Pinelliae (washing in soup for ten times, cutting and baking), Radix Ginseng (cutting off the top baking), and Poria cocos (equally divided), the ginseng in the formula needs to be cut off (the top is reed, and Radix Pseudostellariae has no reed), indicating that Radix Pseudostellariae is not used. The famous "Yigongsan" is good at vomiting and diarrhea, and does not think about breastfeeding. Its formula: ginseng (cut off the top), poria cocos (peeled), atractylodes macrocephala, dried tangerine peel (filed) and licorice root (equally divided) are also not used in Radix Pseudostellariae. Maybe he is afraid to use the prince's name because he is taboo. In the use of ginseng for conditioning, Chinese medicine practitioners hold various views on it, some think that raw ginseng is good, some think that Codonopsis pilosula is good, and some think that Pseudostellaria heterophylla is good, and there is no unified view. With the development of history and the changes of the times, many things used in ancient times need to be adapted to modern times. The ginseng used by the ancients, regardless of wild ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Korean ginseng and American ginseng, are all wild and natural products with strong efficacy. Now, most of them are planted ginseng, which cannot compete with the wild, but they can be exchanged and used instead of the wild. For example, the wild codonopsis pilosula and Pseudostellaria heterophylla used in ancient times can now be replaced by sun-dried ginseng, which is mild. As a cultivated medicinal material, it has reduced its original powerful efficacy and can be taken for a long time. Korean ginseng and American ginseng are the same. The cultivated codonopsis pilosula and Pseudostellaria heterophylla must be of good quality before they can be used, otherwise they are already planted, and the quality is inferior, which is really unbearable for conditioning, even if they eat more, it will not help. Pseudostellaria heterophylla, sun-dried ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, no one is better, only good quality herbs are the best!
