The main component of American ginseng tablets is American ginseng. Although American ginseng has a unique pharmacological effect, it is considered as a "three-point poison" in traditional Chinese medicine, so American ginseng still has certain taboos or precautions in some aspects:
1, you can't take it while drinking strong tea, because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which will destroy the effective components in American ginseng. After taking American ginseng for 2 ~ 3 days, you must drink tea, and it is best not to drink coffee. Coffee also has a certain effect on American ginseng.
2, can not be taken with radish. American ginseng is invigorating qi (warming up vitality), while white radish is discouraged (clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling down, etc.). These two foods are contradictory, not only inedible from the nutritional point of view, but also compatible with each other, which is prone to allergic reactions and even poisoning.
Moreover, from the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine, white radish can be eaten not only with American ginseng, but also with many supplements. Sometimes eating white radish will greatly aggravate the condition, such as when you have a cold or blisters;
3, beware of adverse reactions: some people will have chills, hypothermia, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms after taking American ginseng; Some will have dysmenorrhea and delayed menstruation; Others will have allergic reactions, and the upper and lower limbs will be scattered with blisters of different sizes, which will cause abnormal itching. Blisters can be absorbed and subsided by themselves after drug withdrawal.
4, Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is a cold medicine, and it is appropriate to replenish qi and nourish yin. If the body has fever, such as dry mouth, irritability, palm fever, redness, frequent fatigue, etc., the use of American ginseng tonic can achieve the purpose of conditioning.
On the other hand, if you cough with phlegm, saliva or edema, you should avoid taking American ginseng, otherwise it will aggravate your condition. In addition, "don't make up." If you are not unwell, don't take American ginseng buccal tablets often.
5, in addition, American ginseng is not conducive to dampness, so seasonality should be considered when taking it. The dry climate in spring and summer is more suitable for taking American ginseng, but it is not suitable for taking ginseng or red ginseng. It is more suitable to take ginseng in autumn and winter.
6. American ginseng contains a component called ginsenoside, which has the function of improving human resistance. Therefore, people with weak constitution, such as the elderly, seriously ill patients, etc., often taking American ginseng can play a certain role in strengthening the body; And some patients with chronic diseases, such as patients with chronic hepatitis B, taking American ginseng will also be beneficial to the control and improvement of the disease.
For those with intestinal heat and bloody stool, according to Lei Ju Fang Yao, western countries participate in steaming longan meat, which has the effect of clearing intestine and stopping bleeding.
When taking American ginseng tablets, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. Keep good work and rest habits and try to avoid staying up late.
2. Eat less spicy or irritating food.
3. Take an active part in outdoor sports and relax.
4. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and learn to decompress reasonably.
The daily dosage of American ginseng and American ginseng products is 5g, so don't take it by yourself.
Extended data:
Ginseng is a perennial herb, and likes cool and humid climate. It mostly grows in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests or miscellaneous forests on gentle slopes at an altitude of 500 ~ 1 100 meters or on slopes with small temperature difference between day and night.
Because the root is fat, spindle-shaped, and often bifurcated, the whole picture is quite similar to human head, hands, feet and limbs, so it is called ginseng. Ancient ginseng was nicknamed Polygonatum sibiricum, Goblin and Shencao. Ginseng is known as the "King of Herbs" and is one of the famous "Three Treasures in Northeast China" (ginseng, mink and velvet antler). It is a precious medicinal material that is well-known at home and abroad and is known to all ages.
