From the perspective of health care, red ginseng is an excellent tonic for those with insufficient qi and blood and yang deficiency. Anyone who often feels cold, has cold hands and feet, feels dizzy and tired, has weak limbs, is easily fatigued, has shortness of breath, feels cold in the stomach, has long-term diarrhea, suffers from insomnia, has impotence and frequent urination can choose red ginseng as a tonic.

However, the dosage should be reduced appropriately in summer. The warm nature of red ginseng will destroy the balance of yin and yang in normal people, increase the weight of yang heat, and produce "getting angry" symptoms such as dry mouth, blisters on the lips, and nose bleeding. This situation is more obvious in the hot summer. But as long as you stop taking the medicine in time, the above symptoms will disappear. People with weak constitutions need to take red ginseng for a long time. To prevent side effects, they should take the medicine intermittently, taking it for 7 days and stopping for 2 days. Red ginseng can improve human immunity, resist fatigue, resist radiation, inhibit tumors, and adjust the human endocrine system. Red ginseng is suitable for the elderly and those with long-term illness and weak constitution. There are many daily uses for red ginseng. You can cut it into slices and hold it in your mouth for a while before chewing it, make tea with it, grind it into powder and swallow it, or make a soup or stew it. Among them, chewing is the simplest way to take it. Cut the red ginseng into thin slices, take 2-3 slices (about 3 grams) and hold them in your mouth for a while, chew them carefully and swallow them when the saliva in your mouth is abundant. Or you can make tea with it, cut the red ginseng into thin slices, take 2-3 grams and put it in a bowl or cup, add boiling water to brew it, cover it and simmer it for 5 minutes before drinking it, repeat several times and then chew and swallow the ginseng slices. When grinding the ginseng into powder, grind it into fine powder and swallow it every day. The dosage of red ginseng used in this method is relatively small, and the specific dosage can be determined according to personal constitution. Generally, 1-1.5 grams each time is enough.
