In clinical practice, there is no specific time limit for “how long does it take for ginseng to work”. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is related to the condition of the patient, his physical condition and other factors, and cannot be determined by a single factor. Ginseng is the dried root and rhizome of ginseng, a plant in the family of Ginseng. It is sweet, slightly bitter and slightly warm in nature, and belongs to the spleen, lung, heart and kidney meridians. It has the effects of tonifying the vital energy (replenishing the root qi of the body), restoring the pulse and fixing desiccation (restoring the normal pulse and preventing the desiccation of substances), tonifying the spleen and benefiting the lungs (tonifying the spleen and the lungs), generating fluids and nourishing the blood (replenishing the body’s water and blood), and tranquillizing the spirit and benefiting the intellect (stabilizing the spirit and mind, and promoting the development of the intellect). The drug is used in the treatment of deficiency of body, cold limbs and weak pulse, spleen deficiency and poor appetite, lung deficiency and wheezing and coughing, thirst due to injury of fluids, thirst due to internal heat (internal heat accompanied by symptoms such as excessive eating, drinking and urinating), deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency of prolonged illness, palpitation and insomnia, and impotence and uterine coldness. The adverse effects of ginseng are not clear, but it should not be used together with quinoa and wulingzhi.
