Taboos of drinking American ginseng soaked in water:

First: Pay attention to the time of drinking American ginseng in water

If you want your body to absorb the nutrients in American ginseng that are beneficial to the body to the maximum extent, then choosing the time to take it is also very important. A humid climate is not conducive to the body's absorption. It is recommended to use American ginseng to nourish the body in spring and summer, two relatively dry seasons.

Second: Cannot be taken with radish

It's not just American ginseng that can't be taken with radish. For example, ginseng, red ginseng, Chinese medicine, etc. should not be taken with radish. Because the main effect of American ginseng is to warm and replenish the vital energy, and radish has the effect of dissipating gas, these two kinds of medicinal herbs and food ingredients restrain each other. Not only can they not enable the body to absorb nutrients, but they may also cause allergies or poisoning. American ginseng and many supplements are incompatible. It is recommended not to take radish when you are sick, have a cold, or have blisters, as this is not conducive to your body's recovery.

Third: Do not take it with strong tea

It is best not to drink strong tea before, after, or while taking American ginseng. This is because strong tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which will destroy the nutrients contained in the supplement after coming into contact with American ginseng. If you want to drink tea, it is best to wait three days after taking American ginseng, so as to better promote the body's absorption of nutrients.

Fourth: Do not take it with coffee

Certain substances contained in coffee will destroy the substances contained in American ginseng after entering the body, which is not conducive to the body's absorption of nutrients, so it is recommended that you best not drink coffee.

Fifth: Pay attention to adverse reactions

Not everyone is suitable for taking American ginseng. Some people will experience adverse symptoms after taking it, such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hypothermia, etc. Some women will also experience dysmenorrhea and delayed menstruation. You should stop taking the medicine at this time and make a decision based on your physical condition after your body recovers.

Sixth: Treat the symptoms

Who is suitable to eat Panax notoginseng powder?

1. People with three highs

The three highs are high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar.

This type of people is usually caused by smoking, drinking and obesity. Taking Panax notoginseng powder every day can effectively prevent and treat symptoms of high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar caused by bad habits such as obesity, smoking and drinking.

2. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases usually have high blood lipids.

As we said above, American ginseng is cool in nature, so it is the best choice when fever symptoms occur. Ginseng, like other medicines, can cause adverse reactions if not taken for the right symptoms. Some people may experience chills, lower body temperature, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and diarrhea after taking American ginseng. In fact, many foods in life have certain special precautions. If you eat them indiscriminately without understanding them, the impact on your body will be relatively large. For the sake of your own health, it is better to read them carefully.
