Ginseng is the dried root of the ginseng plant of the family Pentaceae, which is warm in nature, which can not only replenish the qi of the spleen and lungs, but also greatly replenish the vitality. Such people often manifest as cold intolerance, palpitation and shortness of breath after activity, dizziness, sweating, loose stools, low blood pressure, and weak pulse. As a warm tonic, ginseng should be used with strict indications.

People with high blood pressure, a history of cerebral hemorrhage, and people who usually have dry mouth, easy to get angry, red complexion, dry stools, etc., should not take it. Although some people's physique is weak, they are biased towards yin deficiency, such as accompanied by hot hands and feet, dry and faint eyes, tinnitus, backache, lack of urine, etc., ginseng cannot be used alone, so as not to add fuel to the fire.

American ginseng is the dried root of the American ginseng plant of the family Pentaceae, which is flat and cool, in addition to replenishing qi and generating energy, it can also clear fire and remove troubles, nourish the stomach and lungs, and will not lead to problems such as "fire" and increased blood pressure.

American ginseng has a wide range of pharmacological activities.

American ginseng is cool, cool can clear heat, sweet and cool combined, can not only clear heat and nourish yin, but also can quench thirst. Ginseng replenishes qi and favors yang; American ginseng replenishes qi and prefers to nourish yin. The power of ginseng to replenish qi is better than that of American ginseng, and the power of American ginseng to clear heat and generate jin is higher than that of ginseng.

If the physical fitness is biased towards deficiency and cold, when suffering from qi deficiency syndrome, ginseng should be used, which can not only replenish qi, but also warm yang. People with yin deficiency constitution should use American ginseng when suffering from qi deficiency syndrome, because American ginseng can replenish both qi and yin.
