Recently, Aunt Zhang, a fan of our health talk, shared very enthusiastically: she is 65 years old and likes to dance square dances, but I don't know if it is because of her age, she always can't lift her spirits during the day, and she can't sleep at night. Recently, since the children in the family bought her American ginseng, after eating it for a while, she feels energetic and sleeps better at night.
Perhaps, if you have friends, you will mutter: "Is American ginseng really that magical?" ”
American ginseng, as a precious medicinal material, has been recorded in the "Materia Medica", and its medicinal properties of "tonifying the lungs and reducing fire, generating jin liquid, removing tiredness, and being suitable for those who are weak and have fire" make it an excellent choice for health care.
Today, let's talk about how to maximize the effect of American ginseng?
01
American ginseng is very rich in nutritional value, especially for the nervous system, immune system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
Ginsenosides, the most important active ingredient in American ginseng, have anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects, and are also believed to improve cognitive function and memory, as well as reduce feelings of fatigue.
This also explains why our fan Aunt Zhang eats American ginseng, feels energetic and sleeps better.
Therefore, friends can usually use American ginseng to soak in water to drink, which is very beneficial to their health~
What are the benefits of soaking American ginseng in water? Specifically, there are the following points.
1. Enhance immunity: It helps to enhance the body's immune function, which allows the body to fight the invasion of external viruses and bacteria more effectively, thereby reducing the occurrence of colds and other common diseases. American ginseng also nourishes your lungs, so if you often have wheezing, try eating some American ginseng.
2. Anti-fatigue and improve energy: It has a significant anti-fatigue effect, which can help restore physical strength and improve mental state.

There are so many benefits of soaking American ginseng in water, but I don't know that the effect of Western ginseng is directly doubled~
1. American ginseng + red dates
Jujube is a good ingredient for replenishing qi and blood, it is rich in vitamin C, which can promote our blood circulation. If you eat it with American ginseng, it can not only nourish our body, but also improve our qi and blood, help us improve some problems caused by physical weakness, and make us look younger and more energetic.
Recommendation: Slice American ginseng, take 3 grams, add 5 or 6 red dates into a casserole, add an appropriate amount of water, simmer for about 10 minutes, and take it on an empty stomach before meals.
2. Western ginseng + 枸杞
Goji berries contain a lot of nutrients, which can nourish the kidneys, strengthen the liver, and brighten the eyes. If you drink tea with American ginseng, it can first help us enhance kidney function and alleviate various problems caused by kidney deficiency.
Secondly, they can also protect our eyes, improve our vision, and relieve eye fatigue. Finally, it can also improve our disease resistance, if you often have colds or get sick easily, you can also try to eat Western goji berries together.
Recommendation: Take 3~6 grams of American ginseng slices and put them in a cup, add 10 wolfberries, pour them in with boiling water, simmer for 5 minutes, take them multiple times, and drink them on an empty stomach.
In addition to the above recommendations, American ginseng stewed chicken is also a good choice.

Finally, I will talk about the precautions for eating American ginseng, although American ginseng is good, don't be greedy~
1. Friends who are allergic to American ginseng, have low blood sugar, high blood pressure, cold and fever, and weak spleen and stomach should not take American ginseng, so as not to cause adverse reactions.
2. During the period of taking American ginseng, it is best not to drink tea or eat radish, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine.
3. For ordinary people, American ginseng should not be taken for a long time or in excess, so as not to cause chest tightness, irritability, dry mouth, abdominal distension and other symptoms. If you soak American ginseng in water and drink it for 2-3 days, don't drink it again after you feel that your energy has been replenished.
