What should I pay attention to when buying ginseng?

In Korean shops, supermarkets, and street vending machines, ginseng-containing drinks, biscuits, sugar, tea, instant noodles, jams, and ...... are availableEverywhere. We are used to drinking a glass of milk in the morning, while Koreans drink a bowl of ginseng soup.

At the just-concluded National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Professor Zhu Shizeng of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that more than 80% of ginseng in South Korea is consumed in the form of food.

Not only that, Chinese ginseng is made into food in South Korea and then sold back to the Chinese market. For example, at the 2nd Northeast Asia Investment Expo, South Korea's ginseng food appeared in large quantities in the market in Changchun.

Similar to Korea, there is a wide variety of ginseng foods in Japan. In addition, in France, Germany and other countries, there are many foods that use ginseng as raw materials.

In comparison, the awareness of Chinese residents to use ginseng for health care is not strong enough. Professor Zhu Shizeng said that the Korean ginseng produced in China and the Korean ginseng produced in South Korea is a plant, and there is no essential difference between the two main components: ginsenosides. Moreover, China's ginseng production accounts for about 80% of the world's total, but ordinary people in China rarely use it for daily health care.

When it comes to ginseng, it is often regarded as a precious tonic.

Everyone knows that ginseng can strengthen the body, and I believe that many people still keep one or two gift ginseng, and occasionally take it out to take a look, but they don't know how to eat it. People are overly cautious about ginseng, and they dare not touch it for fear of getting angry.

In fact, eating ginseng is not hot, the key is in a quantity, just like eating salt, which is needed every day, but you must not eat too much. Professor Zhu said that ginseng is not a temporary "stimulant", but can keep the human body in a parallel and normal state, and play a role in promoting and regulating the health of all parts of the body. You can eat a little ginseng every day, generally 1 gram to 3 grams, this amount will not make people angry.

Especially for sub-healthy people who are usually tired and tired, have long-term insomnia and forgetfulness, they can often take a small amount of ginseng. Ginseng can be chewed, can be ground powder, made tea, soaked in wine, stewed lean meat, chicken, fish, etc.

And those who are physically strong and usually prone to irritability and irritability, try not to take it. In addition, people with severe chronic diseases such as hypertension, kidney disease, strong allergies and purulent inflammation should be taken with caution. People who have a hot certificate and are righteous should avoid ginseng.

People with cold, fever, and dry throat should not take ginseng.

In addition, it is not advisable to drink tea and eat radish when eating ginseng, otherwise the efficacy will be affected.

Be careful not to eat tomatoes and radishes for a few days after eating, because they will dissolve!

Do not eat with turnips.

Ginseng replenishes the qi, and the radish breaks the qi, and eating it is equal to not eating!

Contraindications for taking ginseng.

1. Avoid overdose.

2. Avoid eating with radish, all kinds of seafood, tea, lilu, Wuling fat, honey locust, halogen, black bean, and purple quartz, so as not to damage the effect of ginseng.

3. Directly decoction and stew single-flavor ginseng, avoid using hardware cooking utensils.

Summary. It should also be noted that ginseng can not be eaten with radish (including carrot, white radish and green radish) and all kinds of seafood and seafood, the ancient medical book says that radish "goes down to the atmosphere," modern research has proved that radish has the effect of eliminating food and diuresis, which is basically the same as the ancient view, and ginseng is its main function to replenish vitality. Therefore, ginseng and radish are a big tonic for qi, and a big qi for qi just cancels out their respective effects.

Therefore, avoid eating the two together, otherwise, eating is equivalent to eating for nothing, and it does not have any functional effect.

Eating ginseng is not as inappropriate in the summer as some people think. Ginseng can be taken for a long time to lose weight and prolong life, and the classic correct way to take it is to stop taking it for 3 to 7 days after taking it for 15 days, and then continue to take it. If ginseng is abused, not only can it not have the best tonic effect on the body, but it will cause the central nervous system to be overexcited, resulting in insomnia, itching and dizziness.

Therefore, people must take ginseng step by step in their daily life.

Most of the reported cases were due to fatigue and weakness, and they were eager to replenish their qi, resulting in damage to the body and even death. Ginseng is used clinically to nourish the body, and it must not be used in a hurry and excessively. 3 Improper medication Ginseng is suitable for people with physical weakness, and regular dosage can indeed correct the deficiency state.

However, long-term use can cause corticosteroid-like lesions.

Young people generally do not take big supplements. If you are not feeling well, you can eat some to adjust it.

Who should eat ginseng.

As the old saying goes, medicine has three points of poison, so you must be careful when using any medicine, and ginseng is no exception.

Ginseng is a tonic, and it is mainly used to replenish qi. Therefore, the applicable people who use ginseng are mainly those with symptoms of qi deficiency. For example, paleness, weakness, panting, etc.

For another example, patients with anemia often have qi deficiency syndrome, so such patients can also eat ginseng. If you are a normal person without disease, in order to nourish your body and prevent diseases, you can also eat some ginseng, but not in excess, and choose different ginseng according to different physical conditions.

Generally speaking, people who are old and frail and weak can eat some red ginseng or wild ginseng appropriately, and if the economic conditions do not allow to eat wild ginseng, they can also eat some raw and dried ginseng.

Women who are weak after giving birth can eat some red ginseng.

For ordinary people, you can eat some raw dried ginseng, but don't eat too much.

For patients with heavy bleeding, it is best to eat wild ginseng, followed by red ginseng, and then raw and dried ginseng.

For summer tonic, you can choose American ginseng.

If you want to eat ginseng, it is best to use American ginseng or raw and dried ginseng.

People who are not suitable for eating ginseng include: people with high blood pressure; Those who are short-tempered and red-faced; People with fever should not eat red ginseng and wild ginseng; People with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat American ginseng.

Quick Facts: The efficacy of various ginseng.

Knowing the effects of ginseng, and then according to your specific situation, choose the appropriate ginseng to nourish the body. Let's take a look at the different effects of various types of ginseng.

1. Raw dried ginseng: sweet, slightly bitter, flat in nature, it has the effect of greatly replenishing vitality, restoring the pulse and solidifying it, nourishing the spleen and lungs, and soothing the nerves.

Traditional Chinese medicine ginseng is a relatively valuable Chinese herbal medicine, although ginseng has a relatively good tonic effect, but if it is indiscriminately supplemented, it is not good for human health, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the different types of ginseng, the effect is also different, for example, American ginseng is cold, and there are many cases where it is used as a heat syndrome, so cold patients should not use American ginseng.

Raw dried ginseng is a clear and tonic drug, if your body is not deficient, it is best not to use ginseng. In addition, some people will have allergies or nosebleeds, and it should be noted that children are not suitable for taking ginseng, because ginseng is not good for children's digestive system and is a contraindication to eating ginseng.

Tips: Pay attention to two points in the selection: 1 Look at the brand, choose the big brand, ***, the effect is good; 2. Look at the platform, whether the qualifications are complete, whether there is a traceability mechanism, whether it stands with consumers, and the after-sales service is guaranteed.

1. Ginseng should not be abused. Ginseng is a qi tonic and is not suitable for casual use if there is no symptom of qi deficiency. If the person has a strong constitution and does not have weakness, there is no need to take tonic medicine and use this product in vain.

If it is misused or used too much, it often leads to breathlessness, chest tightness and abdominal distension. Some people think that ginseng is a tonic, thinking that eating it is always good for the body, which is a wrong idea. Whether it is red ginseng or raw dried ginseng, it must be eaten step by step, and it is not too hasty and overdosed.

In addition, it is important to pay attention to the seasonal changes, in general: the weather is cool in autumn and winter, and it is better to eat; In summer, when the weather is hot, it is not suitable for consumption. 2. After taking ginseng, avoid eating radishes (including carrots, white radishes and green radish) and various seafood.

Ancient medical books say that radish "goes down to the atmosphere and eliminates the valley......"Modern research on radish digestion and diuresis, the same as the ancient view, ginseng is its main function to replenish vitality. These two, one with a big replenishment and the other with a large down, just offset.

Therefore, there is such a taboo. 3. Avoid drinking tea. After taking ginseng, do not drink tea, so as not to damage the effect of ginseng.

4. Whether it is decoction or stewing, avoid using hardware cooking utensils. 5. Ginseng should not be eaten with grapes, and the nutrition is damaged, because grapes contain tannic acid, which is easy to combine with the protein in ginseng to form precipitation, which affects absorption and reduces the efficacy.
