American ginseng tablets are helpful for the elderly in tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating fluids. Radix Panax Ginseng is sweet, slightly bitter and cool in nature, and it belongs to the heart, lung and kidney meridians. It has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating body fluid. Older people have insufficient qi and yin, and are prone to dryness and heat, dryness of stool, spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the daytime, aggravated by sweating with a little movement), etc. Although American ginseng is a tonic for emptiness, it is suitable for older people because it tonifies qi, nourishes yin and doesn’t help to generate heat, and its mild flavor. It is suitable for the elderly because of its mild flavor and its ability to replenish lung qi, spleen qi and heart qi. It is also effective in treating symptoms such as cough with little phlegm, palpitation (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), shortness of breath, and poor appetite and dullness. If there is a need to use this medicine, one should go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and then use it after being prescribed by a doctor, and should not use the medicine on one’s own in order to avoid adverse effects on the body.
