American ginseng is mainly taken by decoction. Since the way of taking clinical Chinese medicine is related to the patient’s condition, physical fitness and tolerance of the spleen and stomach, there is no such thing as “the best efficacy”.
American ginseng is the dried root of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). It is sweet, cool and slightly bitter in nature, and belongs to the heart, lung and kidney meridians. It has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating fluids, and can be clinically used in the treatment of qi deficiency and yin deficiency, deficiency heat and tiredness, coughing, sputum and blood, internal heat and thirst (internal fever accompanied by symptoms such as excessive food, drink and urination), dry mouth and throat, etc. When used, it should be noted that this medicine should not be used for the purpose of treatment of the body’s condition.
