Whether red ginseng should be eaten in the fall or not needs to be determined in conjunction with the physical condition. If there are diseases such as deficiency and desire to get rid of, Qi not taking in blood, etc., and the doctor’s diagnosis meets the requirements of medication, then red ginseng can be eaten, if not meet the requirements of medication, then it cannot be eaten.
Red ginseng is the dried root and rhizome of the cultivated ginseng of the plant of the family of Wujiaceae after steaming. It has the effects of tonifying the vital energy, benefiting the qi to take in blood (preventing bleeding by means of tonifying the qi), and restoring the veins and fixing the shedding (restoring the normal pulse and preventing and treating deficiency and shedding diseases).
During the Autumn, if there is any disease such as great loss of vital energy, blood loss due to collapse and leakage (excessive menstrual flow or dripping), cold sweating, weak pulse, cold limbs and sweating, etc., red ginseng can usually be consumed after diagnosis by a doctor.
When taking red ginseng, it should be noted that red ginseng should not be taken with wulingzhi and quinquefolium, and the medication should not be overdosed. If the patient is healthy or has a disease but does not meet the requirements for medication, red ginseng should not be eaten in the fall.
Whether you need to take red ginseng at the time of Autumn or not should be combined with the actual condition of the patient’s body and be determined after diagnosis by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner. Do not use medicine on your own, so as not to cause delay in your condition.
