What happens if you eat too much ginseng?

Ginseng has relatively strong medicinal properties. If you eat too much at one time, it can easily cause getting angry and increase the burden on the heart. It often causes chest tightness and palpitations, causes high blood pressure, and is prone to cause insomnia. In addition, it can also cause constipation, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. It can make people particularly excited and make people's mood become very irritable. Therefore, you must not eat ginseng in excess.

Ginseng has a warm nature. If you take too much at one time, it can easily cause symptoms of getting angry. It can also cause high blood pressure, chest tightness, palpitations, insomnia, abdominal distension, poor appetite, and obvious excitement and irritability. If you have an internal heat constitution, you are also prone to symptoms such as mouth ulcers, swollen and painful gums, dizziness and discomfort. If you take more than 30 grams of ginseng every day for two months, "ginseng abuse syndrome" will occur.

Whether or not eating ginseng causes getting a sore throat depends on the amount. Just like eating salt, you need it every day, but you must not eat too much. Professor Zhu said that ginseng is not a temporary "stimulant", but it can keep the human body in a parallel and normal state, and play a role in promoting and regulating the health of various parts of the body. You can eat a little ginseng every day, generally 1 gram to 3 grams. This amount will not cause you to get a sore throat.

Especially for sub-healthy people who are usually tired, weak, suffer from long-term insomnia and forgetfulness, they can take ginseng in small amounts regularly. Ginseng can be chewed, ground into powder, made into tea, soaked in wine, and stewed with lean meat, chicken, fish, etc.

Those who are physically strong and easily angered and irritable should try not to take it. In addition, people with serious chronic diseases such as hypertension, kidney disease, strong allergies and purulent inflammation should take it with caution. People with heat symptoms and strong vital energy should avoid taking ginseng. Do not take ginseng if you have a cold, fever, or dry throat.

If you want to make wine with ginseng, you can cut the whole ginseng into thin slices and soak it in white wine. Generally, 1000 ml of wine can soak 1 to 2 ginseng roots. If you use ginseng to soak in water or make medicinal food, about 3 to 10 grams are enough. If ginseng is ground into powder or slices for consumption, 1 to 3 grams a day is enough.
