What are the differences between wild ginseng and American ginseng?

Perhaps for most people, everyone thinks that life is the same type, but the price, efficacy, and difference of ginseng are all different, just like the difference between wild ginseng and American ginseng is very big. We need to distinguish from several professional perspectives. Now many people always have problems such as fear of cold, fear of heat, panic, and lack of qi and blood. By using wild ginseng and American ginseng, they can be treated symptomatically. What are the differences between them?

Ginseng is a well-known tonic medicine with high nutritional value. In addition, there are different types of ginseng such as American ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, and Pseudo-ginseng. Many people confuse them. Experts teach you how to distinguish between human ginseng and American ginseng.

Ginseng is a nourishing food with a warm nature. It can not only replenish the qi of the spleen and lungs, but also greatly replenish vital energy. It is a good medicine for those who have just recovered from a serious illness, those who have been ill for a long time and those who are weak and tend to have qi deficiency. This group of people often show symptoms such as fear of cold, palpitations and shortness of breath after activities, dizziness, sweating, loose stools, low blood pressure, and weak pulse.

As a warm tonic, ginseng should be used strictly within its indications. People with high blood pressure, a history of cerebral hemorrhage, dry mouth, irritability, reddish complexion, dry stool, etc. should not take it.

Although some people have weak constitutions, they tend to be yin deficiency, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as hot palms and soles, dry and blurred eyes, tinnitus, back pain, and oliguria. Ginseng should not be used alone to avoid adding fuel to the fire.

There are many ways to eat ginseng. It can be stewed alone for a long time; it can also be chewed, 2-3 slices in the mouth, which can replenish qi, promote salivation and refresh the mind; it can also be cut into thin slices and mixed with water as a tea. The effects of Codonopsis pilosula and Pseudostellaria pseudoginseng are similar to those of ginseng, but slightly weaker.

In addition, when eating ginseng, you should pay attention to the fact that it cannot be used with medicines and foods that break qi, such as radish, so as not to affect the medicinal effect; it is not suitable to drink tea at the same time, because the tannic acid in tea will affect the absorption of the medicine; in addition, it is not suitable to be used with traditional Chinese medicines such as Veratrum and Aconiti Lateralis Preparata.

The difference between American ginseng and ginseng is that American ginseng is cold in nature. In addition to replenishing qi and producing body fluid, it can also clear away heat and relieve restlessness, nourish the stomach and benefit the lungs, and will not cause problems such as "getting angry" and high blood pressure. But it is a drug after all and it is not suitable for everyone. American ginseng is suitable for people who have the above-mentioned symptoms of qi deficiency and are accompanied by body fluid damage or yin deficiency and internal heat, such as flushed face, dry mouth, restlessness and insomnia.

In addition, American ginseng can clear away heat. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach, loose stools, or male impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, female sexual apathy, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and excessive vaginal discharge should not take American ginseng as a health product, so as to avoid further damage to the yang energy and aggravate the condition.

These different types of ginseng all have the effect of replenishing qi, but some of their specific effects are very different. Therefore, you must be clear when it comes to dietary health care.

Fundamentally speaking, there is not much difference between wild ginseng and American ginseng. They are both of the same strong flavor. Whether it is wild ginseng or American ginseng, the body will get inflamed after eating too much. So when we take it, we must also pay attention to regulating the situation of excessive internal heat. Another thing to note is that it is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion.
