American ginseng is a slightly bitter herb with a cold nature. It has many advantages. It can not only clear away heat and remove internal heat, but also help our lung and stomach health. Let's learn more about it.

American ginseng is generally used for chronic cough due to lung deficiency, dry mouth and throat, restlessness and insomnia, fatigue in the limbs, shortness of breath due to blood loss, etc. It has unique advantages in treating diseases and keeping fit, but it also has contraindications. Chinese medicine believes that those with insufficient yang and cold and damp stomach should not take it.

Children with developmental delay and indigestion should not take American ginseng. People with colds, coughs or acute infections with damp heat should not take American ginseng. People who are afraid of cold and have a weak and cold constitution should not take American ginseng. "The advantage of American ginseng is that it replenishes qi without generating heat, but it is not suitable for everyone. If the dosage is too large or people with a weak and cold constitution eat it, nosebleeds are inevitable.

In addition, pay attention to the following points when taking American ginseng:

1. Do not drink tea: Because tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, it will destroy the active ingredients in American ginseng. You must wait 2 to 3 days after taking American ginseng before drinking tea.

2 Don't eat radish: American ginseng is a qi-replenishing plant (warming and replenishing vital energy), while white radish is a qi-depleting plant. The two foods are contradictory. Not only should they not be eaten from a nutritional perspective, but the two foods are also incompatible and can easily cause allergic reactions or even poisoning.

3 Be alert to adverse reactions: Some people will experience chills, decreased body temperature, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and diarrhea after taking American ginseng; some will experience dysmenorrhea and delayed menstruation; others will have allergic reactions, with scattered blisters of varying sizes appearing on the upper and lower limbs and abnormal itching. After stopping the medication, the blisters will be absorbed and disappear on their own.
