Although American ginseng has a good tonic effect, it is not suitable for everyone, and immunity will not be improved immediately after taking it. It takes a process from taking it to taking effect in the body. Although American ginseng is suitable for a wide range of people, it can have a counterproductive effect if it is not used for the right disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is a cooling medicine that is good for replenishing qi and nourishing yin. If you have heat symptoms in your body, such as dry mouth and irritability, hot palms, red face, and frequent fatigue and weakness, using American ginseng supplements can achieve the purpose of conditioning. On the contrary, if you have a cough with phlegm, excessive saliva, or edema, you should avoid taking American ginseng, otherwise it will aggravate your condition. In addition, "do not supplement unless you are deficient." If you are not feeling unwell, you should not take American ginseng lozenges frequently. In addition, American ginseng is not good for dampness, and seasonality should be considered when taking it. The climate in spring and summer is relatively dry, so it is more suitable to take American ginseng, but not ginseng or red ginseng; while autumn and winter are more suitable for taking ginseng. American ginseng contains an ingredient called ginsenoside, which has the effect of improving human immunity. Therefore, people with weak constitutions, such as the elderly and seriously ill people, can strengthen their constitutions by taking American ginseng regularly; and some people with chronic diseases, such as chronic hepatitis B, can benefit from taking American ginseng in controlling and improving their condition; for those with intestinal heat and bloody stools, according to "Lei Ju Yao Fang", steaming American ginseng with longan meat can help clear the intestines and stop bleeding. Compared with ginseng, American ginseng’s qi-replenishing effect is much milder and is not as warm and dry as ginseng, so there is no special requirement for the quantity. Taking 4 to 6 tablets per day is equivalent to no more than 5g of raw medicine, and generally no side effects will occur. When taking it, please note: it is best not to take it with strong tea or coffee, so as not to reduce the efficacy; be sure to drink plenty of water; do not take it at the same time as other medicines. In addition, some people with cold and damp stomachs should not take it.

It also has a good effect on high school students to improve their academic performance. Eating it can help the elderly friends to regulate their physical constitution and enhance immunity and resistance.
