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. Chewing is the simplest way to take it. Cut the red ginseng into thin slices, take 2-3 slices of 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. Make porridge: Cut the red ginseng into thin slices and add a little when making porridge for breakfast, which is very nutritious.

It is best to stew red ginseng in water. Wrap it with a wet cloth before stewing. After the ginseng strips soften, cut them into thin slices. Take 3-5 grams, put them in a porcelain bowl, add half a bowl of water, and stew them in water for 30 minutes before drinking. After drinking the soup, the ginseng slices can be stewed twice more and drunk. In order to avoid waste, eat them together with the soup and the residue. It should be noted that after the ginseng juice is stewed, do not rush to open the lid. Wait for it to cool down naturally and drink it when it is slightly cool. Red ginseng is often accompanied by a certain bitterness when eaten. If you want a better taste, you can cook and stew ginseng with lean pork, chicken, fish, etc., which can not only nourish the body but also eliminate the bitterness. However, the ginseng should be added later and the time should not be too long, generally not more than 2 hours.

Although red ginseng has a good tonic effect, it is not suitable for everyone. For those who are prone to getting angry, it is recommended not to eat it. Most people with poor physical constitution take it for tonic. If you experience symptoms of getting angry during consumption, don't worry, the symptoms will disappear as long as you stop eating it. Long-term use is not recommended.
