What are the methods of soaking American ginseng in water?

American ginseng has been used as a tonic medicine in ancient my country. The main function of American ginseng is to calm the mind and nourish qi, mainly by strengthening the central nervous system to achieve the effect of calming the mind. At the same time, American ginseng can also enhance the body's resistance and eliminate fatigue. This is really a good medicine for people living in a fast-paced life. American ginseng is known as the king of herbs, and many people want to know the correct way to drink American ginseng in water. Let me introduce the specific method to you below.

The first method is to prepare 3g of American ginseng slices or ginseng roots, 3g of wolfberry, add appropriate amount of boiling water, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, then you can drink it. You can repeatedly brew it until there is no ginseng taste.

The second method is to take out 3g of American ginseng slices or ginseng roots and 0.5g of chrysanthemum, and drink it with boiling water. It has the effects of nourishing yin, promoting body fluid, clearing away heat and improving eyesight. Add 3g of American ginseng slices or segments or ginseng roots and 1g of Ophiopogon japonicus to water, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 1 hour and drink the juice. It can enhance the yin-nourishing, body-boosting and lung-moistening effects of American ginseng.

The third type, American ginseng and candied dates tea: slice or cut American ginseng or 10 grams of ginseng roots, put them into a casserole and stew. After the water boils, add the candied dates and stew over medium heat for about 1 hour. Those who like cold drinks can put it in the refrigerator for cold drinking. This recipe can calm liver fire and clear intestinal heat, and is suitable for both young and old.

Key to material selection:

When choosing American ginseng, you should first identify whether it is domestic or imported. There are two types of American ginseng on the market in my country, one is imported from the United States and Canada, and the other is introduced. Their efficacy and prices are also very different. Most of the American ginseng sold in pharmacies are introduced varieties, and the price generally ranges from a few yuan per gram; the price of imported American ginseng ranges from more than ten to more than twenty yuan per gram, and the method of distinguishing them is: the wrinkles of imported American ginseng are irregular, appearing rough and deep, while the surface of domestic American ginseng is smoother, and the wrinkles are fine and shallow; secondly, imported products feel heavier, while domestic ones are lighter; imported American ginseng often has a stronger aroma, while domestic ones are much lighter.

Dosage of American ginseng soaked in water:

The daily dosage for healthy and sub-healthy people is generally 6-10 grams. The dosage for patients depends on factors such as the severity of the disease, the stage of treatment, the length of the disease, the patient's physical condition, the severity of the symptoms, age, season, etc. Generally, the daily dosage should be between 2-5 grams, and the daily dosage can be taken in 2 to 3 times.

The above is the method of soaking American ginseng in water that I introduced to you. Although American ginseng has the dual effects of nourishing yin and qi, calming the mind and improving intelligence, clearing away heat and promoting body fluid, and reducing fire and relieving heat. However, any medicine must be taken according to the symptoms. American ginseng is cold and bitter, so people with a cold constitution are not recommended to take too much American ginseng. Chinese medicine treatment is aimed at the body's imbalance. American ginseng also has its bias, so it cannot be soaked in water for a long time.
