Do you know the "truth" and "misunderstanding" of ginseng?
Modern people's fast-paced life, heavy work pressure, irregular work and rest, and uncontrollable diet can easily lead to sub-health of the human body and manifestations of deficiency of both qi and yin. As a precious medicinal material, American ginseng has very high medicinal value and is considered to be the first choice for nourishing health.
Misunderstanding 1: The bigger the American ginseng slices, the better
Many people think that the bigger the better when buying American ginseng slices, but this is not the case. The small pieces are cut from the collaterals, and the large pieces are cut from the heads. The content of saponins in the collaterals is more than that of the heads, so American ginseng slices are not as big as possible. The quality of American ginseng can be judged from the year, growth environment, and processing technology.
Misunderstanding 2: High blood pressure is not suitable for eating American ginseng
High blood pressure is not suitable for eating American ginseng? In fact, patients with high blood pressure should choose American ginseng. American ginseng has the effects of replenishing lung yin, clearing deficiency fire, and improving human immunity. It can help regulate blood pressure in the cardiovascular system and has an auxiliary effect on the treatment of hypertension. Patients with hypertension can take American ginseng appropriately when blood pressure is controlled normally.
Misunderstanding 3: American ginseng is not as good as ginseng
The main nutrients of the two are composed of a variety of ginsenosides and trace elements, but their effects are different due to differences in content and unique elements, but each has its own characteristics and cannot be replaced. Ginseng is warm in nature and should not be taken by people with heat syndrome. American ginseng is slightly cool in nature. It is unique in that it is nourishing but not hot and not dry. It can be used with warm medicinal materials for people with yang deficiency such as cold limbs and weak spleen-yang.
Misunderstanding 4: The soft stick is moist, soft, and has a lot of moisture
Many people have a misunderstanding of "soft support" and "hard support", thinking that "soft support is moist and soft", but this is not the case. Soft and hard American ginseng is only different in processing technology. Hard branch American ginseng is a product made by washing, drying and drying fresh ginseng. The process of soft-branch American ginseng is relatively cumbersome. The selected fresh ginseng should be used for ginseng. Most soft-branch American ginseng is mainly sliced. After the starch sugars of the "trapped ginseng" have precipitated, it is more suitable to make tea with chewing.
