Ginseng root effects and points of action

If we have ever bought ginseng, we know that except for some processed ginseng, the whole ginseng contains ginseng roots. Like other Chinese medicinal herbs, ginseng root has certain medicinal value and efficacy, so it does not need to be removed. Although there is a certain difference between the efficacy of ginseng root and ginseng body, the basic efficacy is still the same. Everyone can eat ginseng root with confidence.

1. For first aid

Large doses of ginseng (15-50 grams) can be decocted or stewed, or 2-4 ml of ginseng injection (each ml contains 0.57 grams of the raw drug) can be injected intramuscularly or intravenously. It can be used for first aid of cardiogenic shock or other patients in extremely critical condition. Ginseng and Fuzi can be used together to treat yang loss and collapse.

2. Treat cardiovascular diseases

Ginseng has a certain therapeutic effect on hypertension, myocardial malnutrition, coronary artery sclerosis, angina pectoris, etc., and can alleviate various symptoms. Ginseng has a regulating effect on abnormal blood pressure, or it is believed that different doses can have different effects: small doses can increase blood pressure, while large doses can lower blood pressure. The usual daily dosage for adults is 0.2-3 qian; ginseng extract (each milliliter is equal to 1 gram of raw medicine), 20-40 drops each time, 2-3 times a day; ginseng tincture (content 10%), 5 milliliters each time, 2-3 times a day; ginseng powder, 3-6 fen each time, 2-3 times a day.

3. For stomach and liver diseases

For patients with chronic gastritis accompanied by achlorhydria or low gastric acid, taking ginseng can increase appetite and alleviate or eliminate symptoms, but it has no obvious effect on gastric juice secretion and gastric juice acidity. Ginseng can relieve stomach pain, increase appetite, normalize bowel movements, and increase the total acidity of gastric juice in patients with chronic gastritis. For acute infectious hepatitis, under certain treatment conditions, taking ginseng seems to have a certain positive significance in preventing it from turning into chronic hepatitis.

4. Treat diabetes

Ginseng can improve the general condition of diabetics, but does not change the degree of high blood sugar. It is said that ginseng can reduce urine sugar in patients with mild diabetes and lower blood sugar by 40-50 mg%, which can be maintained for more than 2 weeks after stopping the medication; although the effect of lowering blood sugar is not obvious after taking ginseng for patients with moderate diabetes, most of their overall conditions are improved, such as the disappearance or alleviation of symptoms such as thirst; some patients can reduce the amount of insulin after taking ginseng.

5. For mental illness

Ginseng seems to have a therapeutic effect on asthenic and asthenic-depressive psychoses, regardless of their cause (schizophrenia, psychoses caused by poisoning or infectious diseases, degenerative psychoses, etc.). Some people also believe that oral ginseng can only improve the patient's general subjective symptoms for organic neurological diseases, but has no objective and obvious therapeutic effect.
