What does ginseng supplement?

The main effect of ginseng is to replenish qi. Speaking of replenishing qi is rather abstract. The qi here does not mean gas, but refers to qi deficiency. If the body is qi deficient, symptoms such as drowsiness, fatigue, shortness of breath and laziness will often appear. At this time, eating some ginseng appropriately can have a good regulating effect, which can make people energetic and full of energy! In addition, there are many types of qi deficiency, such as spleen, stomach, heart and lungs, which are prone to deficiency symptoms.

When the Qi is abundant, the whole person will be energetic and radiant; when the Qi is deficient, a person will feel weak and sleepy, and the functions of the whole body will decline; when the Qi is cut off, the person will die, even if the organs appear to be intact. If it is difficult to understand, you can think of a person as a robot, and Qi is the electric current that drives the robot.

But there are many kinds of Qi-invigorating medicines, why is ginseng the most popular? Because compared with other Qi-invigorating medicines, ginseng has two advantages: one is that it is strong, and the other is that it has a wide range. To what extent is the power sufficient? The ancients discovered that some patients had weak qi due to long-term illness or were extremely exhausted due to acute illness, and only had one breath left to leave a will. At that time, there was no ICU or something like that to rescue them, so they just used ginseng, boiled it in water and drank it, and sometimes people who were half dead could be saved.

Heart Qi deficiency is mainly manifested by palpitations, drowsiness, and lack of energy; spleen Qi deficiency can cause indigestion and weakness in the limbs; lung Qi deficiency can cause shortness of breath and susceptibility to colds; liver Qi deficiency (not generally called this way) can easily lead to Qi and blood stagnation; kidney Qi deficiency can lead to poor growth and reproductive functions.

Ginseng can replenish the above-mentioned Qi deficiency. Yes, you heard it right. It can replenish all of them!

Among them, because of its good effect in replenishing heart qi, some ancient books say that ginseng can "improve intelligence". This does not mean that eating ginseng can increase your IQ, but that it can relieve the drowsiness and dullness caused by excessive mental work. Don't misunderstand it.

Therefore, when the whole body's Qi is deficient, especially when the heart and spleen are deficient, it is very suitable to use ginseng for treatment. If only one organ is deficient in Qi, a small amount of ginseng can be used in addition to the corresponding tonic medicine.
