How to eat Changbai ginseng

Wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain belongs to the best of ginseng.

China has a long history of eating ginseng, and its magical effects are highly respected. According to historical records, ginseng has the functions of "nourishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, calming the mind, stopping fright, improving eyesight, rejoicing and improving intelligence". It is very particular about how to eat:

1 stew clothes. Cut ginseng into 2 cm thin slices, put it in a porcelain bowl, fill it with water, seal the mouth of the bowl, put it in a pot and steam it for 4-5 hours before taking it.

2 chew. Chewing 2~3 pieces of ginseng in your mouth is the simplest way to take it, which is refreshing, sweet and delicious.

③ grinding. Grind ginseng into fine powder and swallow it every day. The dosage depends on the individual's physique, generally 1 ~ 1.5g each time.

4 make tea. Slice ginseng, put it in a bowl or cup, brew it with boiling water, cover it for 5 minutes and take it.

(5) soaking wine. Sliced whole ginseng can be put into bottles, soaked in 50-60% Chinese liquor, and taken daily according to the situation.

(6) stew. Ginseng is often accompanied by a certain bitterness when eaten. If people are involved in cooking lean meat, chicken and fish together, it can eliminate bitterness and nourish the body.

But it should be noted that:

1. Ginseng should not be abused. Ginseng is a tonic, so it should not be taken casually without symptoms of qi deficiency. People who are strong but not weak do not need to take tonics and abuse this product indiscriminately. If misused or used many times, it will often lead to suffocation, chest tightness and abdominal distension. Some people think that ginseng is a tonic, and eating it is always good for health. This is a wrong idea. Whether it is red ginseng or sun-dried ginseng, it should be eaten step by step, and it is not appropriate to rush. Besides, we must pay attention to the seasonal changes. Generally speaking, the weather is cool in autumn and winter, and the food is better; When the weather is hot in summer, it is not suitable for eating.

2. Avoid eating radishes (including carrots, white radishes and green radishes) and all kinds of seafood after taking ginseng. Ancient medical books said that radish "descended into the atmosphere and eliminated the valley." . 。” . Modern research on radish digestion and diuresis is the same as that in ancient times, and ginseng is its main function. These two things, one for invigorating qi and the other for relieving qi, just cancel each other out. Therefore, there is this taboo.

3, avoid drinking tea. Don't drink tea after taking ginseng, so as not to destroy the efficacy of ginseng.

4. Whether frying or stewing, avoid using hardware cookers.

5, empirical, hot evidence is not empty. Anti-veratrum, Oletum Trogopterori and Gleditsia sinensis should not be used together.
