How to eat wild ginseng for the best effect

Ginseng can be said to be a very nourishing Chinese medicinal material. Although the price of ginseng in the market has dropped, you should know that these ginsengs are mainly cultivated artificially, and wild ginseng is not common now, so the price of a wild ginseng is several times that of artificially cultivated ones. If you come across a wild ginseng, how can you eat it best? In fact, there is no difference in the way of eating wild ginseng and other ginseng.

Ginseng has the effects of replenishing vital energy, calming the mind and improving intelligence. Since ancient times, it has been praised by the Chinese as an excellent tonic. The main methods of taking wild ginseng include decocting, steaming, soaking in water and medicinal wine, taking pure powder, etc., and the operation methods are different.

1. Oral administration

Wash the wild ginseng, cut it into thin slices, and take 2 to 3 slices each time. Place each slice under the tongue and dissolve it in the mouth. The effective ingredients in the ginseng slices are completely absorbed by the capillaries of the oral mucosa. It usually takes more than 20 minutes to take effect, and the loss of nutrients is smaller than that of gastrointestinal absorption. You can take it in the morning on an empty stomach or when you feel tired.

2. Slice and soak in water

Cut the wild ginseng into thin slices and put them in a bowl or cup. Pour boiling water over it and cover it for about 5 minutes before drinking. Just like drinking tea, you can repeat the process until there is no ginseng taste. Then chew the ginseng slices slowly and eat them, 2 to 5 grams per day.

3. Pure powder into the service

Raw sun-dried wild ginseng is ground into powder, which is easy to absorb and ensures that the nutrients contained in the wild ginseng are not lost. It does not contain any additives and is safe. It has the effects of anti-fatigue, improving immunity and anti-aging.

4. Steaming

Slice the wild ginseng and use 2 to 5 grams per day. Put the ginseng slices in a porcelain bowl, add appropriate amount of water, seal the bowl, place it on the steaming rack in the pot, steam it, and boil it over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes after the water boils. Drink the ginseng juice first, then swallow the ginseng slices, half an hour before breakfast. The amount of food consumed can be slightly increased or decreased according to personal constitution and tolerance.

5. Cook and serve

Break a wild ginseng into pieces and place it in a casserole. Add water and boil until the ginseng changes color and the water tastes bitter. Then add a spoonful of honey and stir to combine the active ingredients of the two. This soup is called ginseng honey soup, and you should drink a large bowl of it every morning.

6. Stew

Take a hen, cut 5-10 grams of wild ginseng into slices and put them into the chicken's belly. Sew up the belly and put it in a casserole. Add water and seasonings, and simmer until the meat is cooked and the soup is thick. Eat the chicken, drink the soup, and eat the ginseng 1-2 times a week. It has nourishing and strengthening effects.

7. Soak in wine and drink

Liquor is known as the "king of all medicines" and has the effects of dispersing stagnation, opening up blood stasis, digesting food, unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation, warming the spleen and stomach, and nourishing the skin. Using liquor as an agent, all the nutrients of wild ginseng can be precipitated. Wild ginseng wine is mostly used to strengthen the body, replenish vitality and prolong life.
