Ginseng used to be a medicine for relieving asthma and bloating, and radish seeds are the best solution to ginseng. Why do they work together? In addition to asthma and bloating, the lady's participation is to treat deficiency asthma and bloating, and the deficiency syndrome is false and real. The ginseng suddenly throws it until the place where it breathes and bloats, but it can't be suddenly suffered. Those who take it often get more and more wheezing and bloating. Although the increased wheezing and bloating is a temporary illusion, it will naturally calm down after a while, but it is not a good cure. If radish seeds are added less to make ginseng, the wheezing and bloating will not increase, but only get it. Or ask radish seeds to know ginseng, but ginseng is useless when radish seeds are used. I don't know radish seeds but ginseng. Ginseng gets radish seeds, which is more powerful. If you cover ginseng to replenish qi, you will feel uncomfortable if you take it suddenly. If you don't stop the symptoms of asthma and bloating, you will feel comfortable if you get radish seeds to tonify the middle energizer, which is more than enough for radish seeds to calm their qi, but not enough for them to hurt their qi. "

"If it is used to relieve fullness and depression, and it is supplemented with ginseng, astragalus and herbs, even if it is taken for a long time, how can it hurt the qi?"
